Darth Vader toaster debuts!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just in time for Comic-Con International, the huge annual comic and science fiction convention, Lucasfilm has developed a must-have gadget that threatens to part even the most financially-challenged Star Wars fans with their money: the Darth Vader toaster.

The device is clad in a black plastic mould that resembles Darth Vader's infamous mask. But that's not all.

Stars from a galaxy far, far away take Cannes by storm
To the point: Foreign floats put LSE in danger of going way of BabelAs it toasts your morning slice of bread, the gadget burns an image of the everyone's favourite Dark Lord of the Sith on to the side. It is predicted to be a huge hit with fans of the franchise.

Wired.com said the toaster was bound to be a sure-fire sell-out: "How else would you get a chance to smudge jam into Darth Vader's grill?"

In the same range, fans of the Imperial Forces can also purchase the Death Jar cookie container.

Comic-Con International, which was founded in 1970 and now attracts more than 125,000 fans, runs from July 23 to 26 in San Diego.

Originally showcasing comic books, science fiction/fantasy and film/television and related popular arts, the convention has expanded over the years to include a larger range of pop culture elements, such as horror, anime, manga, animation, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels.

The convention is the largest of its kind in the world.

"Luke, I am your toaster!"

Now I've seen everything!!! The Darth Vader imprint on the toast is pretty cool, but that design... I'd have to be a MAJOR Star Wars fan to buy that. And believe me, I'm not anywhere close to being a Star Wars fan!

Well after all what is toast? It's bread that has crossed over to the dark side!

i'm holding out for the Death Star toaster - the bread goes in a holder about a foot away from the main unit, and then the big laser fires and toasts the bread right before your eyes.
