The title pretty much says it all – these are indeed Star Wars Chop Sabers.
Imported from Japan and officially licensed from the Lucas empire, they are mini / skinny Jedi weapons that sadly don't light up, but they do operated as chopsticks, should you have a thing for far eastern cuisine (and Star Wars movies).
There's a choice of Darth Maul or Luke, with a pair setting you back £9.99.

You can see Rocky above, with the other two pictured over the page. All are on pre-order now, with a price of £49.99.
Looking to add a touch of Hollywood to your seduction technique? Then this Movie love quotes print by Karin Akesson could be your new best friend.
The print draws together some of the most famous love quotes from a wide range of films like Casablanca and Gone with the Wind, as well as some of slightly less classic status (Notting Hill?). The quotes have been printed in a paler black ink to add something of a vintage feel to the print. Use the lines for your own chat-up line inspiration, or just to test your own cinematic knowledge.
It's an edition of 500 prints, the price being only £25.

Some of you might remember that a few weeks back, we featured a Peter Cook-based Bedazzled poster by Piper Gates Design. Well, to accompany that, Piper Gates Design have done a companion piece – the Dudley Bedazzled poster.
Yes, this time featuring co-star and long-time Cook partner Dudley Moore as Stanley Moon, it's again done in the style of a vintage Penguin book and in a limited edition of just 30.
The print is sized at 500mm x 700mm and printed on 194 gram paper, signed by the artist. Get one while you can as there are only eight left as I write. It retails for just £22.99. See the print framed over the page.

Following on from the retro Star Wars print we featured a few weeks ago, here's another re-imagining of a classic movie poster, this time by Brighton-based designers Unlimited Editions.
The stylised art deco-influenced I'm Spartacus print is a tribute to Stanley Kubrick's 1960 Roman epic, created for Boxbird Gallery's ‘Cinemascope’ exhibition. A must have to adorn the walls of any retro movie fan's home.
I'm Spartacus is £80 from Unlimited Editions. See the website for more details.
Not an exact template for the movie, Ritual by David Pinner was, however, the book that inspired the movie – and it is getting a reprint in the very near future.
Rather than being set in the Scottish highlands, this 1967 novel is set in Cornwall, with police officer, David Hanlin asked to investigate the murder of a local child. Whilst there, he's subjected to mental trickery, seduction, ancient religious practices and sacrificial rituals. Sound familiar?
The rights to the book were obtained for the Wicker Man movie a few years later, with a fairly minimal rewrite creating the ultimate movie cult classic. Original copies go for silly money, so the £6.39 price tag for the new version, which comes with original cover artwork and a new forward by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley, looks a serious bargain. Alternatively, a hardback version sells for £9.09.
