Coming to a galaxy near you... Star Wars villains and heroes giving you directions to the grocery store.

Dutch navigation systems manufacturer TomTom is releasing one downloadable Star Wars voice per month for their GPS devices. Darth Vader is already available for purchase for $13. C-3PO is scheduled for June, Yoda in July and Han Solo in August. 

How does Yoda give directions?

No word yet on ultimate co-pilot Chewbacca (GWARR-RAWW-RAAAH! translation: turn right at the next asteroid field), R2-D2 (the galaxy's original GPS device), or Obi-Wan Kenobi - who will probably just keeping telling you to turn off the GPS and use the force.

Listen to Vader's voice yourself here. James Earl Jones or not, it sounds pretty cool.

I just hope there's no Jar-Jar. Personally, I'm holding out for General (oops, didn't mean to demote you there, Squid Guy!) Admiral Ackbar: "At 300 yards, take evasive action. It's a trap!"
