Bad acting. Tacky costumes. Princesses that either wear too much makeup or sport hairdos inspired by very large pastries. Who wouldve guessed that Star Wars wouldve had such a large cult following, moving grown men to attend premiere nights dressed in full costume, and fighting over who has the biggest light saber?

But apparently, the Force lies Strong, surviving the long decades after the first trilogy, and the highly disappointing prequels. Whats the secret? Maybe not the actual movies, but the lovable characters. Villains with a sensitive past. Unlikely heroes who possess powers greater than even they imagine. Robots who possess more personality than their plastic parts reveal. Thats why every little kid who watches the Star Wars movies walks out of the movie theatre wanting to be a Jedi.

And with the Stars Wars merchandise available, you can be a Jedi. Except for the slight problem. Youd look pretty stupid brandishing a light saber at work, and the costumes wont exactly meet the Office Dress Code. (Although you know what they say about how black matches everything) So the only way to channel your inner Jedi without being branded a total geek is through the Star Wars Voice Ringtonesactual characters and their famous lines, activated whenever somebody makes a call or sends a text message.

One of the most popular voice ring tones is Yoda, whose strange grammatical structures and cryptic messages have made him the Star Wars Equivalent of Buddha (albeit a short, green and hairy version of him).

There are several messages available. Answer the phone you must! he admonishes, whenever you let the phone ring a little too long. (Hes always been good at telling people what to do. Why not assign this particular voice ring tone to your bosswho is, probably, equally short, green and hairy).

Another popular version is Press the button and fulfill your destiny!. Which makes you feel a little more important, as if the future of the universe depends on you taking the call. Even if its just your wife telling you to pass by the supermarket and buy a dozen eggs before going homealthough we can guess what your destiny would be if you forget to run her errands. Assign this ring tone to her, or any significant other who has the power to make you very happy, or very, very miserable.

Of course, Yodas not the only Star Wars character who deserves his own voice ring tone. Theres Chewbacca, whose roars and grunts can clearly be translated into Get the darn phone, or Ill beat the heck out of you. Aaah, but we all know hes just a very big teddy bear. Who also happens to wield a very big gun. But a teddy bear nonetheless. A great ring tone to assign to your mother. Shell be calling you frequently.

And then theres R2D2, and his cheerful beeps and whistles, and See-Threepio (C3-PO)Princess Leias loyal escorts, who acted as her digital secretaries long before people were even using computers at work. Assign this voice ring tone to your overworked assistant.
