You may have seen these wee USB drives knocking about the Web for some time but you can now get them in the UK and, the new twist this time, is that they come preloaded with exclusive Stars Wars content.

These are the Star Wars Mimobots, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB USB drives cast as Stars Wars characters, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Imperial Stormtrooper and R2-D2. And not one wimpy, whining Hayden Christensen in sight. Woo-hoo! They stand 2ins tall and you just need to pop off their heads to set to work. In addition to looking pretty cool, they also come pre-loaded with some Stars Wars content, including wallpapers, avatars, the original trailers and soundbites.

Still, you will be paying that bit more to indulge your Star Wars passion. The 1GB, 2GB and 4GB drives are priced at £30, £40 and £50, respectively.

If you can wait, makers Mimoco have also unveiled Princess Leia, Han Solo, Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker in the works.-Martin Lynch
