What: The Two Headed Sith Series of the Spyder III Laser

Made By: Wicked Lasers

What It Does: Handheld, double-sided laser

Price: $599.95

With today (May 4th) being “Star Wars Day,” Wicked Lasers has released a double sided laser, much like the one used by Darth Maul in “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.” Although it is not as intense a laser as the lightsaber used in the Star Wars moves, the Spyder III laser can burn you or singe your household objects. Which is why Wicked Lasers now requires every potential customer to review the Laser Safety Training video and pass a mandatory Laser Safety Test. May the force be with you.

Most iPad and tablet PCs are stationary, but the Bendi allows you to move and shift you device so that you can view it from any necessary angle.
