Want a little functional Star Wars action on your desk? Here, R2D2 and Darth Vader double as desktop figurines and USB ports, allowing up to four extra gadgets to plug into your computer. These were introduced at Tokyo Toy Show last week, and they're available for pre-order on Strap-ya. Video of their head-shaking, beeping madness after the jump.

I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Wait wait wait... when the picture said shake head for Darth Vader, I thought it meant like a bobble head kind of shake. Thats kinda false advertising. Good thing the video cleared it up.

It's not false advertising. If it was a bobble head then it would say "bobbles!" When you shake your head "no" what direction does it move?
