TomTom and Star Wars to go Hand in Hand

GPS manufacturer TomTom has announced its partnership with Lucasfilm, voiceskins.com, and the Star Wars franchise. The company is set to provide voice options to its range of navigation devices featuring the vocalizations of memorable Star Wars characters such as Darth Vader, Yoda, C3PO, and Han Solo.

The Darth Vader option is the first to become available in the market, while the others will be released one a month until August. The voice options also include a variety of sound effects usually associated with the movie franchise.

The Darth Vader-voiced navigation from TomTom is only available in Europe, for now, costing £7.95 (about US$12). Customers can also download officially warning alert sounds voiced by the Dark Lord of the Sith, as well as start up screen wallpaper, and Lord Vader map icon—all for free.
