Uncle Milton’s Star Wars Force Trainer Uses Your Brain Waves

image

Being a Star Wars fan since the dawn of time, there is one thing I always wanted to do… Use the force! Let’s face it, how often at work, school or just about anywhere have you tried to use the “Force”? It’s something ingrained into our brains.

With The Force Trainer II, you are the Jedi. Imagine that you could raise an X-wing from the Dagobah swamp just like Luke Skywalker, battle Darth Vader, or build your own lightsaber with just the power of your mind! These magical scenes are re-created through hologram images and a wireless headset with real brainwave sensors that read and interpret your levels of concentration. The more you focus, the more successful you are in using the Force to move and control the hologram image and successfully complete the Jedi challenge. The hologram images and Jedi Challenges come through an exclusive app included with the purchase of the product and powered by the user’s tablet device which projects these holograms into the unique Jedi training base. There are 10 different Jedi Training levels through which fans can advance from Padawan to Jedi Knight to Jedi Master, with instruction and guidance from Jedi Master Yoda. Additional Jedi Challenges will also be available for download on updated versions of the app as new Star Wars movies are released. The product is expected to hit retail stores in Fall, 2015 with an estimated SRP of $119.99.

 

Previewsworld has unveiled a new action figure-themed variant cover for Marvel’s “Star Wars #1

Previewsworld has unveiled a new action figure-themed variant cover for Marvel’s “Star Wars #1.”

image

The cover is an homage to the classic Kenner line of star wars figures, replicating the packaging art and action figures that once lined store’s shelves (and now collector’s cabinets). The cover features a vintage Luke Skywalker figure, replicating how it looked back in yee-olden days. The cover is an incentive cover for retailers, meaning that comic shops can only obtain them if they order a certain amount of standard Star Wars #1 copies. In this instance, retailers’ orders on Star Wars #1 had to match 200% of their orders on Original Sin #8.

“Star Wars #1” will come with a slew of other variant covers, including a Skottie Young variant, a movie variant, a Joe Quesada variant, an Alex Ross Variant, and numerous more.

“Star Wars #1,” written by Jason Aaron and drawn by John Cassaday, hits comic shops on January 14th, 2015.
