How an astromech droid ever got stuck on crumbs duty I’ll never know, but for just $20.90 you can have this miniature version of R2-D2 (he’s just under 4-inches tall) roaming your desk, sucking up Doritos leftovers. Since it’s powered by one of your PC’s USB ports I’m going to wager it doesn’t have the strongest suction capabilities, which kind of makes me wish Dyson would strike up a partnership with Lucasfilm. An R2-D2 with root cyclone technology? I definitely wouldn’t need Obi-Wan Kenobi’s help when it came to cleaning my apartment.

As you know, we here at CrunchGear pride ourselves on bringing you the latest and hottest information on novelty USB drives. Nicholas is particularly a fan. But more to the point, we know you are too. Which is why I’m here to tell you that MIMIBOT just announced their latest, the series 5 Star Wars line. There’s even a Stormtrooper that just might be a little shorter then normal.

MIMOBOT’s series 4 brought us the unmasked versions of Darth Vader, along with several other models, and series 5 looks to be just as exciting. There’s the aforementioned Stormtrooper, which randomly comes as Han or Luke, the Jawa, R2-D2, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Each model is available in 2GB to 16GB capacity, and will cost you between $30 to $90.

This Star Wars Play-Doh playset is for ages three AND UP – you’re all part of “and up” unless you’re a really smart baby who reads tech blogs for some reason. If you are such a baby, please apply for an internship. We’ll take anybody – anybody – who can appeal to toddlers. That’s a huge, untapped demographic for us and it’d be nice to write for people at or around our same level of intellect, maturity, and tableside manners.

At any rate, this Star Wars Play-Doh set features an R2-D2 unit capable of churning out the following: “lightsabers, jets that shoot Play-Doh out his sides, stamps on his feet to make C-3PO, Ahsoka, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

Everything stores inside R2-D2’s robot tummy for easy cleanup. The kit, plus three 2-ounce cans of Play-Doh runs for $20 at ThinkGeek.

Now you can get the Death Star plans without having to depending on those Bothan spies. Some enterprising publishing company has licensed and released the penultimate Star Wars geek accessory: poster sized blueprints.

Not content with providing the blueprints for the Death Star, you can also get the design documents for Darth Vader’s mask, C-3PO & R2-D2, the Millennium Falcon, and lightsabers & blasters. All are printed on a poster sized page, and double sided.

Obviously it’s too late for Christmas, but you can order the plans online for $19.99.
