Only Vader Could Be This Bold

“I felt a great disturbance in the kitchen.  As if millions of slices of toast suddenly cried out in terror and then were suddenly silenced.  I fear something delicious has happened.”

- Obi Wan Kenobe

Indeed, Obi Wan.  It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and along comes this amazing gadget for the Star Wars Fan.  Too bad we don’t know any of those.  The Darth Vader Toaster from Star Wars Shop just became available for pre-order. In a rare marketing misstep Lucas has the toaster shipping January ‘09. As one would expect, this burns the Sith’s imposing visage onto that most basic of foods, bread. Going to be tough to top this as a slightly-delated holiday gift for the Star Wars geek in your life.

Maybe it’s just us, but does this give the “darkness” setting new meaning? How evil do you feel today – 1 through 5?

(We’re personally relieved that the toaster doesn’t burn the face of Anakin as played by Hayden Christensen.)
