Star Wars Lightsaber Candlestick

 

The Star Wars trilogy was one of the most celebrated movies of all time. After grossing millions in the box office, the movie continues to make profits from the sales of Star Wars memorabilia and souvenirs. There has been Darth Vader’s mask, glowing light sabers for children and plush toys of the Master Yoda. To add to the list of Star Wars merchandise is the Star Wars Lightsaber Candlestick.

The Light Saber Candlestick is eight and a half inches long, including the candle. It is almost the same length as the Light Sabers used in the movie. In a pack that costs $39.99; the Star Wars Lightsaber Candlestick also comes with three red candles. Once those three are burnt out, you could always hit the stores and purchase any regular taper candles. You could also select blue candles instead to create a blue laser sword which Luke Skywalker used.

Besides illuminating your Star Wars themed party, the Star Wars Lightsaber Candlestick is also suitable for romantic dinner with a date that is a Star Wars fan. After the dinner, you could even detach the base from the candlestick and you will have a Light Saber to play with. However, you should be careful not to drop wax all over your carpets and furniture when you engage your date in battle.

The Star Wars Lightsaber Candlestick is due to hit the markets in early December. It would make the perfect holiday gift for the Star Wars fans or those who just enjoy having unique decorative items in their homes.

Now you have the Star Wars light saber, why not have a loyal companion to help you fight against the dark side and dark forces of the Sith? The motorized replica of the droid from Star Wars responds to your commands as you speak and it can navigate rooms, hallways and it also makes your home look very interesting with a droid lurking in your hall. The Voice Activated R2-D2, also affectionately called the R2, will obey and can identify up to 40 different kinds of commands such as move forward, turn around, come here and etc. and he can also play games such as tag by using its infrared sensor to look for people in the room.

The sensor for the Voice Activated R2-D2 makes it follow you from behind or you can set it to detect any motion as it guards your room from other people. You’ll have your own personal guard that will inform you if there is a person coming towards your room.

This Star Wars gadget has other features such as emotion changes and the lights on his body will flicker and change when he’s in a certain mood. If he is in a bad mood, a simple command like “R2, stop that nonsense” will bring him back to his normal joyful self again. The Voice Activated R2-D2 can also play back sounds from the Star Wars movies and mention certain dialogs. He can answer a yes or no question and even dance to the cantina music.

R2 will need four AA and four D batteries in order to bring him to life and the retail price for R2 is about $200. It is better than a pet dog because you don’t have to feed it!
