I really want these Samurai Wars action figures. Make sure to check the links to see a Stormtrooper, Vader, and Boba Fett!

A lot of my friends have decided to go back to college or university to further their educations, but I’ve always wondered if I could go back to grade school instead. Not only would I rock every test and quiz, but I’d get to play dodgeball again and enjoy the lost art of recess. And if that ever comes to pass, I’ll definitely be sporting one of these Star Wars backpacks that Comic Images was showing off at Toy Fair.

The C-3PO in pieces from Empire Strikes Back seems like an obvious design for Lucasfilm to overlook, as does the Boba Fett rocket pack. Sadly the missile doesn’t fire, and the rockets don’t work, and there’s probably a good chance I’ll get beat up in the back corner of the playground for wearing either of them. (Sniff) Ah grade school…

Marc Ecko’s no stranger when it comes to Star Wars, and Star Wars themed apparel, as is evident by his line of hoodies inspired by that galaxy far, far away. But it looks like he’s recently teamed up with Timex as well to produce a series of Star Wars themed watches that so far only look slightly dorky.

This post on The Marc Ecko Blog actually dates back to July, but it shows off a couple of watch designs including a Stormtrooper model and a Boba Fett one, which each feature a mixture of metals, rubber and nylons as well as sounds and light-up ‘Indiglo’ features. Pricing and availability info is still scarce, though the blog post does mention “Holiday 2009″ so if there’s a Star Wars fan on your Christmas list you might want to keep an eye out for them.

Look at these big-head Star Wars USB flash drives! They’re adorable. Ewoks were always adorable, and C-3PO had a certain lovable charm but now even Darth Vader’s getting in on the fun. He’ll lull you into a false sense of security and then do that thing where he chokes you from across the room without actually touching you.

Available in 4GB capacities, the MIMOBOT Designer Star Wars USB Flash Drives go for $40 and include extras like wallpapers, audio clips, icons, screensavers, and more. If these three aren’t to your liking, other characters like Luke, Leia, Boba Fett, Han Solo, and others are out there somewhere (see previous coverage here). Might as well collect them all, eh?

Here comes yet another product from the unholy union between design Marc Ecko, and Star Wars. I have to be honest however, and admit that I think these watches look pretty cool and.. I might actually have to buy one. At least one. At least the Boba Fett one.

Details are extremely sketchy at this point. We have five sentences in a blog post, and some images. Here’s what we do know: they’ll be out, probably this holiday season, they’re made by timex, but designed by Ecko, they’ll incorporate indiglo, and sounds.

We also have some pictures. Lovely, lovely pictures.
