Yoda gives driving directions!

Post by Huntley »

So does Han Solo and Darth Vader, and more. The article address is at the bottom of this post, make sure you check out the vids - very funny.

In The Empire Strikes Back, Jedi master Yoda scolded his student, Luke Skywalker, for not properly listening to instructions. It's nice to know that a GPS device incorporating Yoda's voice will be equally as ornery to stubborn drivers who feel they don't need directions.


TomTom, a company that makes global-positioning devices, recently signed a licensing deal with Lucasfilm to use three "Star Wars" character voices (Han Solo will be the fourth in August) in an effort to get drivers to their destination in the safest and nerdiest way possible.


"I find your lack of faith disturbing," the voice of Darth Vader warns drivers who miss their turn. "Take the third left - it may be our only hope," pleads C-3P0. For that special someone who feels that a pristine collection of mint-on-card original "Star Wars" action figures isn't enough to ensure that dating will be difficult, this announcement is truly a godsend.
