Darth Vader USB HubSometimes people like to send us stuff they're selling to futz around with. This schwag generally falls into three categories: Totally stupid, totally awesome and Star Wars stuff.

The gear that sends some of its proceeds back to the Skywalker Ranch compound gets its own category on account of the fact that there's so much of it, and that no matter how totally stupid it may be, it's always better than the non-Star Wars totally stupid stuff we get.

Fortunately, the latest batch of Lucasian memorabilia wound up being both practical and awesome for the most part. Here's our three faves ...

Star Wars USB Hubs
Available in Darth Vader and R2D2 models, these hubs allow you to plug in multiple devices to your PC with a little Lucas flair. For example, Darth Vader's signature breathing greets your printer every time you kick it on.

But, be warned: The hub we tried didn't put out quite enough juice to charge our iPhone. Still, who cares? It beats some little black box from Belkin.

Star Wars Chop SabersStar Wars Chop Sabers
Let's be honest. Chop sticks are for suckers. Civilized society invented the fork for a reason. But, if you have to use them, we recommend poking at your raw fish with this dual version of Lord Vader's elegant weapon.

Finally, we offer you a challenge. Try to get laid wearing a replica of a Jedi's traditional outer garb.

Since these are well-made and actually lend an air of mystery to even the biggest geek, you might actually meet our challenge at Comic-Con in July.

It wouldn't hurt to try, would it? Just remember to wear something under the robe.
