The Star Wars Expanded Universe is really lame … except of course when it involves the greatest species in the Star Wars universe, the Ewoks! This June Dark Horse will be releasing a trade paperback collecting all the issues of the Droids and Ewoks comics.

Originally published from 1985 to 1987 the Droids and Ewoks comics, released by Marvel’s Star Comics, were based on the animated series of the same names. Droids is an 8 issue story following R2-D2 and C-3PO, the gay robots of Star Wars, in their adventures that predate the original film. Ewoks is a 14 issue story featuring the Ewoks as seen in Return of the Jedi, having great adventures on the Forest Moon of Endor. Retailing at $25, this 528 page book is quite a bargain.

Check out this sweet looking XBox 360 and controller that look like the gay robots of Star Wars. Microsoft is trying to make this a big deal because it’s the first custom Kinect bundle but that’s kind of stupid since the Kinect piece itself doesn’t actually look Star Wars themed. I guess because it’s white? Kind of lame.

The XBox 360 system is made up like R2D2

The controller is made up like C3P0
