Star Wars USB Flash Memory Drives

A USB flash drive, also known as a thumb drive, a jump drive, or a stick drive, is a portable data storage device. In short, these tools allow you to copy files or other information from one computer and transfer it to another. Flash drives are rewriteable and can be used with any computer that has a USB port. They function in much the same way as disks, but are much smaller, faster, and more durable with a much greater storage capacity. You simply plug the USB flash drive into the port, save your information to that particular drive, then remove it and reinsert into the new location. Most USB drives are small enough to fit easily into your pocket. The amount of information that can be stored on a single flash drive varies widely from one product to the next, but they tend range anywhere from 1GB to 64GB.

Yoda is one of the most popular characters in the entire Star Wars saga. Present in every movie except Episode 4, he is the greatest and wisest of all Jedi. The character's unusual appearance and unique pattern of speech set this Jedi Master apart from all others.

MOVIE FUN FACT: Though Muppeteer Frank Oz was the voice behind Yoda, Warwick Davis, the actor who played Wicket the Ewok, provided Yoda's physical presence in the "walking scenes" of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

R2D2 is probably the most beloved of all the Star Wars characters. Cute and quirky, this R2 unit is full of personality. An intrical part of every Star Wars movie, this droid performs a variety of functions and provides some comic relief as well.

MOVIE FUN FACT: In the original script for Star Wars, R2D2 spoke English and was given a rather foul vocabulary. Though his speech was obviously changed by the time of production, C3PO's reactions to it were left in the film.

MOVIE FUN FACT: Following the trash compactor scene in Star Wars, no stunt doubles were used as Luke and Leia swung across a collapsed bridge in the Death Star to safety. Actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher performed that stunt themselves in just one take.

MOVIE FUN FACT: The planet battle that took place in Return of the Jedi was originally supposed to occur on the Wookie home planet. However, since the Wookies were so technologically advanced, George Lucas decided to introduce the Ewoks instead. He wanted primitive creatures to feature in the destruction of the technologically superior Empire.

Many of the Star Wars USB drives shown here are from the Mimoco product line, Mimobot. Star Wars Mimobots first appeared on the market in 2006 with the issuance of four Series 1 designer flash drives, including Darth Vader, R2D2, Chewbacca, and an Imperial Stormtrooper. In 2007, Mimoco released Series 2 and four more characters, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Boba Fett, were added to the mix. The Mimobot Series 3 arrived in 2008 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Return of the Jedi. Wicket the Ewok, the Emperor's Royal Guard, Darth Sidious, and C3PO joined the product line. The most recent installment of designer Star Wars USB drives occurred earlier this year, when Darth Maul, Clone Captain Rex, and Darth Vader Unmasked were released. This latest addition, Series 4, was done to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Star Wars Episode 1.

In addition to the previous series releases, Mimoco also issued a few limited edition products as well. Among these was the third limited edition version of the Darth Vader Unmasked USB drive, which is named the Luke Dagobah Variant. Released at the San Diego, CA Comic Con '09, only 500 of this particular item were produced. The ever popular R2D2 USB drive from Series 1 was also re-released in a super-limited 8GB edition, consisting of only 100 units, again as a San Diego Comic Con exclusive.

Darth Vader is the ultimate evil villain. Once a gifted Jedi who studied under Obi Wan Kenobi, the powerful Lord was manipulated into joining the dark side by the maniacal Darth Sidious. Mysterious and menacing, very little was known of the character's true identity prior to the 1999 release of the first Star Wars prequel, Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. In fact, throughout the original trilogy, fans were given very few glances behind Darth Vader's mask.

Need extra USB ports? If so, then take a look at this awesome designer USB hub. Not only is it functional, but this Vader USB Hub is a fun accessory, too. With glowing red eyes and cool sound effects, this item is a must-have for any Star Wars fan!
