Darth Vader senses your Wiimote's presence

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.

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.

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.
Josh @ Sep 30th 2009 3:25PM
I forgot about Minesweeper.
Shmil @ Sep 30th 2009 3:40PM
Monesweeper. Keeping us sane for decades.

There are Sensor Bar holders?

Exactly my point. (see above)

It looks useless for Flat screen TV's.
Otherwise it would be a pretty cool stocking stuffer.
GiggMan @ Sep 30th 2009 3:26PM
I take that back, I guess you could put it at the base of your TV stand.
Shagittarius @ Sep 30th 2009 3:22PM
Does it ship with a gift dedication plaque that reads , "World's #1 Virign"?
jivebuny @ Sep 30th 2009 3:24PM
Is that a star wars dig?
[ArchiGamer] [Live from Omicron Persei 8] @ Sep 30th 2009 3:25PM
No, we already gave you that.
Tom Kalinske @ Sep 30th 2009 3:26PM
It's so awesome how you can't spell.
Tell you what, I'll send you a plaque saying "World's Worst Speller."
[Tre (TM), whom you must pay royalties to say his name] [blogs at trespeak.tumblr.com] @ Sep 30th 2009 3:27PM
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.
Shagittarius @ Sep 30th 2009 3:27PM
"Is that a star wars dig?"
here's your plaque... ;-P

everyone who likes one of the most successful film and merchandising franchises in the world, as well as the world's most profitable entertainment medium is a nerd and a virgin

Dilbert has never been funny.

NERD ALERT!!!
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 30th 2009 3:27PM
Me: I'm going to pass on this.
Darth Vader: You will try.....
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 30th 2009 3:34PM
Only a holder of evil, Darth
MystileArmor @ Sep 30th 2009 4:15PM
You can't win, Darth. If you drop the sensor-bar, I shall become more
powerful than you can possibly imagine.
BunnySlapper @ Sep 30th 2009 3:35PM
Make one with Princess Leia in the Gold Bikini and I'll pay double that.
Eduardo Hoeller @ Sep 30th 2009 3:35PM
Cool, I guess...
Petebot330 @ Sep 30th 2009 3:42PM
On a semi-related note, I just saw (most of) Fanboys last night. Man, what a bad movie.
MRLN @ Sep 30th 2009 5:17PM
The ending made no sense.

My Nerd detector is going crazy! Pegged to Max!
