Step aside, oh humble chopstick. Centuries of Asian food culture are about to yield to the Force of
Star Wars. Japanese retailer
Kotobukiya plans to unleash its Chop Sabers at the dining table come 2010, to the tune of US$10 (1,050 yen). This would have been prettier if it actually lit up, but that would have been just too kitchsy for the kitchen.
Jedi wannabes can opt for the Yoda-sized transcluent "blades" measuring 9 inches, in Darth Vader Red, Luke Skywalker Blue or Yoda Green with matching chopstick rests. The kids' version comes in 8-inch lengths. To misquote the mystic green one: "Once you start down the Chop Saber path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will."
