With Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace being re-released in theaters with post-processed 3D, LucasArts has released an app called Darth Maul Me. Do note that the name is not an invitation for a Sith Lord to come and maul the user, but an app for turning the user into Darth Maul, Sith apprentice in the first prequel episode of the Star Wars series. Users can either import or take a photo of their face, zoom in and out to line up the eyes and get their head in frame. Then, they adjust the area of their face, and select from one of three Darth Maul effects, from the full-on makeup and horns look to just the crazy Sith eyes. Then, the image processes and the user is ready to go out and share to the world that they are a Sith, and proud of it, and there’s Facebook connectivity to help prove it. The Dark Side will only truly win if they receive enough likes on Facebook.

As the release of Thor’s most recent film incarnation rapidly approaches, it was only a matter of time before people started milking the franchise for every penny it was worth.  An amusing example of this exact phenomenon has just landed on the App Store in the form of the Thor’s Hammer.

Following in the footsteps of Star Wars: Lightsaber Duel, Thor’s Hammer is a piece of novelty software that allows you to gesturally interact with your your iOS device of choice, while it creates sound effects that mimic the actual fictitious weaponry.  If nothing else, this will be a great tool for those that are looking to bring a bit more heroism to their daily life.  Sure, it may only sound like an awe inspiring weapon, but the heart wants what the heart wants…

You can find the app in both paid and light versions, so check it out and see if it makes you feel more empowered.
