If there's one category of people that manufacturers of all movie-inspired electronic devices can count on, that's Star Wars fans. I mean, the movie has created quite a cult all over the world and, for this reason, pretty much everything related to the famous series becomes an instant hit, especially if we're talking about a quality product.

In fact, that's the case with the Series 1 sculpted 3D Star Wars character USB thumb drives developed by Tyme Machines, maker of licensed USB drives, which feature a very attractive external design, especially if you're a hardcore fan of George Lucas' series.

The flash drives (sculpted replicas of Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Storm Trooper and Yoda) stand 3-inch tall and are available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB capacities. Unfortunately, while USB 2.0 compatibility is mentioned, there's no word on the level of performance provided by these devices, which is probably not impressive.

“We at Tyme Machines thrive on bringing beloved characters such as these to life in full 3D to fans across the world,” said John McDaniel, Chief Marketing Officer of Tyme Machines. “We are working continuously to bring Star Wars fans more collectables they can use in their everyday lives.”

However, Tyme Machines is not willing to stop to a single successful movie franchise. No, it is also targeting the future with a model dedicated to the “Twilight” series, the company also providing a 3D sculpted flash drive with the Cullen's family crest engraved on it, something that should, at least theoretically, prove to be extremely attractive for all the crazed Twilight fans out there (who'll go even crazier in the immediate future, when the next installment in the series has its official opening).

Oh, and one last thing. These flash drives are not exactly the most affordable such products you might have come across, since they're available in the 30 to 60 USD price range, depending on the specific storage capacity.
