Here's one from off-the-wall. Back in April, I was in the grocery store and noticed the catalog of licensed birthday cake items sitting on the bakery counter. I remembered some SW stuff I'd gotten before, and decided to look through the book. I found this interesting pair of
Revenge of the Sith Vader items pictured on a cake. One is a figural bust of Vader. It's a pretty damn nice sculpt, too. It's a novelty item that has this voice gimmick. I first thought it was electronic, but it turns out it works like a kazoo. You talk into it, and it sort of reverberates your voice. Anyhow, it's mostly a nice looking tchotchke to set on your desk or shelf. It really is a nice sculpt; I wish had better pics of it to show. It's got a keyring on the back, but I can't imagine carrying that big nugget around.
The other thing in the set is a plastic trinket that has sticker on one side picturing Christensen as Anakin, and the other side is a really cool sculpt of Vader's mask. It's actually a 3D rendering of Hasbro's stylized scowling Vader logo! I thought that was pretty damned cool. It's the only time I've seen that in 3 dimensions.
I was in the grocery store today looking through the cake book again, and noticed a Web address,
www.cakes.com So I looked up their SW stuff, and here ya go:

Oh, crap... his saber lights up. I might have to get that!
