- digg it
- Junior27, on 10/12/2007, -2/+61That totally just blew my mind. I'm ordering one the next time I get 40 bucks. Dugg.
- muaddib420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31i don't know someone hasn't thought of this before! seems so obvious once you see it. but i guess that's how most really clever things appear.
also dugg for cool title! - da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27Buy one, I will
- giancarlochoy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6pretty cool.. but it can scare you at night.....
- VRFour, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8I wish this was a little more accurate to the film and had Yoda sticking out of a backpack rather than just giving the appearance that he's clinging onto your back.
- niqhil, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Look at the "Customer Action Shot". .doesn't look that cool, the real product ..
- TheBlackLeopard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Just what everybody needs - a muppet humping your back...
- diggywiggit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Now lets filter out which unmatured virgin buys this.
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but I actually want one of these. What a blatantly cool idea!
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Ending a sentence in a preposition is something up with which I will not put!
- muaddib420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31i don't know someone hasn't thought of this before! seems so obvious once you see it. but i guess that's how most really clever things appear.
- Salviati, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40Halloween is coming up. This would be a great Jedi accessory.
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27Life is coming up. This will be a great necessity.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12It kind of looks like a green Ed Asner.
- Hoogie7Dowser, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Wasn't that the original thinking being the creation of the Yoda puppet in the movie? They based it on the face of that really old guy...I think it was Asner.
- ranbom, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0cxzczcz
- stonebear, on 10/12/2007, -4/+48Fools they are! With Yoda’s hips thrusting, price doubled could be. Mmm hmm.
- noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -27/+16It would be even funnier as a bum bag ("fanny pack" to you Americans (*)). Worn round the back, it would look like sex with Yoda having were you, mmm.
Worn round the front, it would look like you were receiving oral sex from the small green mystic. Let's face it, if you're an adult willing to wear a Yoda backpack, you're likely beyond embarrassment anyway, so you may as well give the rest of us a laugh.
(*) BTW, in Britain "bum" means backside.... "fanny" means pussy.
"Fanny pack" sounds exceptionally dubious to my ears. :-/ - Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Fanny pack sounds really gay, but at least it makes sense. "Bum bag" makes me think it's a bag that bums carry around with them.
- igraham09, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8fanny pack...
heh heh :D
you sir, get a +digg - da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -14/+8Well if Fanny means pussy then doesn't it make more sence?... cause you know... only pussys wear them
- noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -27/+16It would be even funnier as a bum bag ("fanny pack" to you Americans (*)). Worn round the back, it would look like sex with Yoda having were you, mmm.
- Salviati, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31For anybody who will be ordering this, the coupon TIMBOT will save you $5 off $30. I just confirmed that this is still valid.
- ilyag, on 10/12/2007, -60/+3It's $39.99 or, in normal numbers, $40. You've fallen for the biggest trick in all of marketting -- using "99 cents" to make the price of a product appear lower than it really is.
- Salviati, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22ilyag: No, I haven't fallen for anything, the coupon is for any purchase of $30 or more. Since this backpack is $39.99, it qualifies.
- noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16@ilyag; the story behind that one is that pricing it at one pence/cent below the pound/dollar mark supposedly forces the assistant to go into the till, rather than just pocketing the value of the transaction.
Anyhow, most of us have grown up with that one, and speaking personally, I always parse £9.95 as synonymous with £10, £39.95 with £40, and so on. I'd be surprised if anyone else doesn't.
- jtjenn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11SO ADORABLE!
- DasPope, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i remeber this was on somethingawfuls homepage a while ago
the mans fake arm is way better - Shorties, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Haha, I just saw this at Disneyland (I think they where selling it at one of the shops in tomorrowland) no more then 2 days ago, I almost bought it, it would be fun for halloween.
- DjOverEZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Haha!!!! As I was waiting for the link to load ( 3 seconds) I thought to my self "I don't remember Yoda wearing a backpack." To my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. Rarely to I type "LOL" and mean it. This is one of those times!
- ChaseLudwick, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3now that is ***** awesome
_all they need now is to make is a Chewbacca edition- Nebbie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I could see a half assembled C-3PO like he carried in Empire... but not a Chewy backpack.
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10@ChaseLudwick
You totally missed the boat on this one kid. Go watch The Empire Strikes Back.
- Quietlight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I got one of these... its rather small for a full sized adult, but the joke still works.
Im so wearing this to class in college for the next two months.
PS- "backpack" portion is really small. Like, barely-fits-a-standard-folder small.- techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thanks I was just wondering about the size. :P
- NightRush, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I can just now see the waves of little kids coming to school with them.
Anyone remember those hard, square starwars backpacks from a little while ago?- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Yes, all those waves of little kids who remember watching star wars... THIRTY YEARS AGO.
- pcheaven2k, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3It would be way cooler if he was equiped with Speach Recognition and Logical Conversation Algorithms so he could listen to you and talk to you as the real Yoda would. Someone needs to hack him to do that and sell the hacked Yoda's for like $1,000 each.....
- Angostura, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Errr.... no.
- ericcivil, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5just what i want, geek credibility. i think i'll pass
- StarCrusher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Hmmmm...CASE MOD!!!
- PsychoPNut, on 10/12/2007, -14/+1this is in the tech category why? i hope not because its star wars
- Vokas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Who gives a *****?
- volcomskater718, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0shut up
- stoffe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If it was a laptop bag (taking 17" wide) I would have already ordered.
- johnoneal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+55Yoda Backpack, "Making it easier than ever to spot a virgin"
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35Conveniently carry your secret shame, it will.
- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -22/+4Geek credibility? I'm sorry, but what adult wears a backpack unless they're hiking? Much less a retarded cartoon character from Star Wars. I would be embarassed to wear this or even be seen in public with someone else who is wearing one.
- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I wear a backpack whenever I go out. It usually has my laptop, maybe a book or something to drink, and whatever else I might need to carry. I see adults walking around with backpacks all the time, and I don't see anything particularly weird about it.
- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Ever heard of a laptop bag? An attache or brief case?
Seriously, no human being wears a "backpack" and doesn't look twelve years old unless they're hiking a mountain.
Do these people put on their big-boy pants and carry a dukes of hazard lunch pail with them, too? - spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"Seriously, no human being wears a "backpack" and doesn't look twelve years old unless they're hiking a mountain."
Or like thousands of college students around the country. - Airconditioning, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I wear a backpack simply because it doesn't look like a laptop bag, which are theif magnets. Just get a bit of padding to support your notebook or any other gadgetry you need and you're set.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I often see people who drive motorcycles walking around with backpacks.
- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I use a backpack precisely because I don't want people to know I'm carrying a laptop. Why would you want to advertise to everyone that I'm carrying something worth $2500?
A backpack is also multipurpose, I can use it for more than just a laptop, and it's more comfortable. I'd rather strap something on my back than carry it with one hand. Once again, I don't see anything weird about this at all. When I walk around town I see quite a few people carrying backpacks, way more than suitcases or laptop bags.
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Get your ass beat, wearing that will.
- lbmtb, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3This dude speaks the truth! Kinda cool to check out in a photo but no way in hell would I wear one in public.
- eberts, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7My dad got one of this for me years ago. Then I discovered he was just stapling frogs to my back.
- bizzay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1While it's a bit pricey, but I'm sure it'll be worth it when you intentionally walk through a crowd in order to catch as many people's attention as possible, perhaps even garnering a comment such as, "Oh, look: Yoda. He must really be into Star Wars or something." ROI, baby, ROI.
- Algol, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Always in motion the future is.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5Come on, people. Have we sunken this low that we are front-paging stories that are just a link to buy something?
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"young Jedi Masters"
Padawans?
No, materialism and sentimentality is frowned upon in the Jedi Order.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"young Jedi Masters"
- spiffyfitz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Geek and Credibility in the same sentence! Fie!
- Dachande663, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I've got one of these but it's Gizmo from Gremlins rather than Yoda.
- Seumas, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Thanks for announcing your sexuality to all of digg on this glorious sunday evening.
- kennyvader, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6I always thought ThinkGeek was a parody site. You mean you can actually buy the stuff they have on there?
- mbthompson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1That is sooo cool.
- panicofficer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The title made me smile. Thanks!
- KyleMistry, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2That thing is bloody awesome.
Curse you, lack of credit card!- Junior27, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If you don't have a credit card, just go to your local mall and put 40 bucks into a visa gift card. They treat it exactly like a credit card on line.
- DontSayFanboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm guessing you're still in high school. Don't worry, the moment you step foot on a college campus, you'll have at least a dozen credit card offers before you know it. Be careful for what you wish for.
- Lewisham, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I have one of these. The kids at the school I walk by love it.
- Rainbow101, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I dont get starwars
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1What's not to get?
- muzy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1KIDS ONLY ...... MEH!!!
- -dXs-, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1kids only?
are you kidding me?
Think about this idea for just 30 seconds and you will realise how ridiculous this is. The consumer market truly is bottomless.
And for those adults who want one (or even think it's a good idea to get it for their child) should read this, http://www.somethingawful.com/index.php?a=4024 - -dXs-, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1kids only?

- thirdplanet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I own one, and it's pretty cool. I know it's dorky, but hey, why can't you indulge your dork side more often?
It's actually the perfect size to hold a handle of liquor and 4 cans of Red Bull. - gxcdesign, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I use my Jack Bauer Messenger bag...sorry no Yoda humping me today
- FlyingLlama, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I would love to see the reactions of others of somebody wearing this at a public high school.
- patsfan456, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Already saw this on www.switchedonshow.com
- pairanoyd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I have no use on planet earth for this thing but it's so freaking cool that I just have to have one. And what's worse, I'm 45 years old. That's sad when an old man wants to walk around with Yoda on his back..
- andergriff, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1For the simple minded juvenile...the perfect gift! All sophomoric Star Trek retards will love it! Great for children of all ages from 8 to 80!!!
- bluemech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wasn't this made fun of on SA recently?
- randomvictim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This same digg was on the front page two or three days ago, and this is been happening all day on digg. What gives? =(.
- fatas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is asking for a beating
- ReallyChili, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Want one, you will!"
Only if I never want to see a live vagina again. - squirrel83, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I wanna get one but does Yoda have a light saver in hand?
- gab00n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That thing looks so stupid.
- SavannahLion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1First words out of my mouth, "Oh, ***** sweet!"
- bobbygeorgina, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's some funny stuff.
