Attention Star Wars fans:

Do you have an extra quarter-million lying around?

The Darth Vader costume from “The Empire Strikes Back,” goes on sale at Christie’s in London on November 25, according to the Associated Press.

Also, here is another item for sale: James Bond’s silver Aston Martin DB5, which was driven by Sean Connery in “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball.” It will go up for auction Wednesday at RM Auctions Automobiles. It’s expected to go for about $5.5 million.

A snow storm made this West Chesterfield, N.H. reader’s mini gas grill look like Darth Vader

It’s actually an uncanny resemblance. Thankfully, the snow did not make the grill look like Jesus, or we’d have a serious religious phenomenon on our hands in New Hampshire.

I already own too many Star Wars toys errr collectibles, but this Darth Vader Lightsaber Wii Sensor Bar-holder just might make its way into my living room.

The accessory is simple. It’s Darth Vader holding his red Lightsaber but instead of vanquishing peace-minded Jedi, the Lightsaber is used to hold the precious Wii Sensor Bar during those long sessions with Wii Sports Resort or Grand Slam Tennis.

You can snag one for yourself for $49.99 at the Star Wars Shop and we won’t make fun of you, we promise. Christmas list? Yes, this is on mine.

Here is an official Lucas Arts trailer video for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, coming out on April Fools Day for Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, DS and PSP.

This first Star Wars game on the new generation of consoles takes place between Episode III and A New Hope, and promises to tell a new story, unveiling elements to the Star Wars universe not previosly seen.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should – wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.

Game features:

• Players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice
• Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice’s four core Force powers – Force push, grip, repulse and lightning – throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos
• Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
  • The Secret Apprentice won’t just Force push enemies into walls – he’ll Force push enemies through walls
  • The Secret Apprentice won’t just Force grip foes to throw them aside – he’ll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb
• In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader
• Visit locations such as Episode III’s Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility

Folks, this one’s gonna be big.
