" I find your lack of faith disturbing..." - GPS with STAR WARS voices now in a galaxy not so far away....
This is where the tech goodies we have become fun.
I would want to have OBI WAN guiding me on a GPS as when you rolled into some place like Las Vegas, the GPS would say, " Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."
NOW that would be cool.
Lost? May Yoda and Darth Vader guide you
August 2, 2011 LA TIMES
To the closest Starbucks you wish to go? Let Yoda be your master.
This week Garmin, maker of the popular line of personal navigation devices, adds the Jedi master and Darth Vader to its voice lineup.
The voices of Yoda and Darth Vader are available for download on Garmin's website, and will cost users $12.99 apiece. Yoda delivers his directions in his own unique grammatical style, saying things like, "Proceed to the highlighted route, your destiny, it is" and "Right you should turn, then sharp left . . . control, control, if a Jedi you wish to be."
When Yoda's froggy voice starts getting on your nerves, you can download Darth Vader's low, half-robot voice with just a hint of an English accent. He'll give you directions with a dose of evil attitude.
"Proceed as indicated," he says. "Don't make me destroy you." And "You have reached your destination. Impressive. Most impressive."
Both voices feature fully randomized dialogue, so you'll get to hear a variety of fun phrases from the "Star Wars" movies. The Darth Vader version also includes heavy breathing, the sounds of TIE fighters and light sabers, and John Williams' "Imperial March." The Yoda voice includes occasional sage interjections from Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Garmin released two videos that preview the new voices. May the Force be with you on your drive to your next destination.

The FORCE runs strong with this STAR WARS Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
I can imagine the discussion that went on among the designers of this "Star Wars "inspired Lambo.....
General Tagge: What of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical reading of this Lamborghini, it is possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it.
Darth Vader: The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.
Admiral Motti: Any attack made by the Rebels against this car would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This Lambo is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!
Darth Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to tear up the highways is insignificant next to the potential of the Force.
Admiral Motti: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerous ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient Jedi religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you enough clairvoyance to find the rebels' hidden fortress...
[Vader makes a pinching motion and Motti starts choking]
Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Governor Tarkin: Enough of this! Vader, release him!
Darth Vader: As you wish
The Force Is Strong With Star Wars-themed Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

The Jedi return to the automotive world, but this time the car that’s been gifted with the power of the Force is not the 2012 Volswagen Passat, but a 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago. The supercar has been wrapped in vinyl to give it a Star Wars theme for this year’s Gold Rush Rally 3. Que Darth Vader theme music.
We love the new look of the LP640, as it now sports a theme from the Clone Wars era. A Jedi Order crest has been added to the passenger side door, while the Galactic Republic/Galactic Empire ones are on the driver’s side. The overall look remind us of a trop carrier ship, with its laser machine guns an white paint, detailed with black panel lines.
On the roof, an R2 D2 head has been added, probably to aid with repairs if the Murcielago gets dinged in battles with starfighters. There’s a few mock-flapt on top of the rear wheel and machine guns pop out of just about every surface of the car.
An inscription of the passenger-side door jokingly says “Co-pilot: Golden Puss” and is accompanied by a logo that combines Hello Kitty and Darth Vader facial elements. With this last element, you can be sure the Lambo would be the pride of the Star Wars villain's supercar collection.
We’ll remind you that the LP640 Murcielago uses a 6.5-liter V12 engine that develops 640 hp at 8,000 rpm and 486 lb-ft (660 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, pushing the supercar to the 62 mph (100 km/h) mark in just 3.4 seconds.
