posted on July 2, 2008 by Buzz Bumble

Mimobot have started their third series of Star Wars USB drives - more quite cute, but expensive keyring drives to carry your important data around on.

Series two looked better then the "eared" series one and it looks like series three continues the "ear"less designs ... except for one, an Ewok maybe.

There's also the now-usual competition to win some of these USB drives.

First Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 Character Revealed!
"Your feeble skills are no match for the Dark Side!”

Treacherous, sinister and devoid of compassion, iron fisted ruler of the Galactic Empire and all around bad guy, as NOTCOT first reported, our first Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 character is none other than the lightning-flinging Emperor himself, Darth Sidious!

Coming July 23rd you can help spread the Dark Side’s influence with your very own Darth Sidious Star Wars MIMOBOT designer USB flash drive. Use him to store all of your top secret space-station/super weapon plans… just be sure to keep it away from the Alliance!

One character has been revealed, unmasked, exposed if you will… but there are still three more characters whose identities yet remain shrouded in mystery! Three more characters and three more chances for all of you to score yourself a sweet new Star Wars MIMOBOT! So what are you waiting for? Get over to the forums and post your guess for the next character!
