Darth Vader senses your Wiimote's presence

by Randy Nelson on Sep 30th 2009 3:14PM

With the economy the way it is, even Sith Lords are having to work second jobs. Take Darth Vader here, who's moonlighting as the absolute coolest Wii sensor bar holder ever. (We're sure his supervisor will say something similar on his quarterly performance report.)

You can hire Lord Vader for the sum of $49.99 from the official Star Wars Shop website, and he'll drop out of hyperspace (a.k.a. arriving via FedEx) sometime in November. Just be forewarned that his heavy breathing might ruin the atmosphere during those quiet, extremely tense gaming moments. But hey -- as much as old "Iron Lung Ani" needs the work, nobody's Forcing you to hire him.

Ok... this is freaking cool as hell!

I WANT IT!

I never knew Sensor Bar Holders even existed until now, but this is pretty darn cool.

Expect my brother to beg for one in 3... 2... 1...

Here comes the boom.

same here. i had no idea these things existed (except the little clear one that came with my Wii) but this thing is friggin awesome.

That pun was so terrible that I didn't have the will to continue living. Fortunately, I managed to start up a game of minesweeper before I lost consciousness, and worked my way up from there.

I forgot about Minesweeper.

Monesweeper. Keeping us sane for decades.

There are Sensor Bar holders?

Exactly my point. (see above)

WTFRIGHT

It looks useless for Flat screen TV's.

Otherwise it would be a pretty cool stocking stuffer.

I take that back, I guess you could put it at the base of your TV stand.

Does it ship with a gift dedication plaque that reads , "World's #1 Virign"?

Is that a star wars dig?

No, we already gave you that.

It's so awesome how you can't spell.

Tell you what, I'll send you a plaque saying "World's Worst Speller."

I don't know if it's a Star Wars dig or not, but something I definitely do not know is what the genuine frak a "Virign" is.

"Is that a star wars dig?"

here's your plaque... ;-P
