Ever wonder how Chewbacca fills his belly? I hadn’t. But if toy company Mimoco can be believed, the Wookie pounds down about 4 gigs of data. The Boston-based firm is marketing a line of inch-long Star Wars USB flash drives, called Mimobots. Darth Vader, Chewie, R2-D2 and an Imperial Storm Trooper are all depicted. There’s no Jar Jar Binks, which is kind of a shame. Given the character’s high negative ratings, his likeness might have sold out just so petulant fans could grind it under heel.
