Darth Vader GPS Will Turn You To The Dark Side

He used the Force to search for rebel bases and track his errant son. And now Darth Vader can help you locate the nearest interstate — if you’re willing to take a detour to the Dark Side first. Tom Tom has rolled out its first Star Wars GPS voice module, and everyone’s favorite Sith Lord is ready to help you calculate every possible destination. Or, in Ani’s own words: “Go around the roundabout. The circle is now complete.”

Tom Tom plans to release additional Start Wars voice modules in coming months, including Yoda, C-3PO and Han Solo. (No Obi-Wan is planned; so much for our hopes for “this is not the road you’re looking for.”)

While we initially assumed the files were created using clips from the Star Wars films, Tom Tom has proven us wrong, with a video of Darth Vader in the recording studio. We’re not going to give anything away, but we won’t be surprised if “roundabound” becomes the next hot buzzword.
