I don't know that lightsaber noises will make the Magic Remote any more fun to use, but it can't hurt.

I'm shopping for a bedroom TV right now. My wife wasn't very receptive to this idea.

Thanks for highlighting, Greg. The URL link in the article is correct, but for some reason it's not playing nice.

LG has just released some of the Conceptual Designs and Journey of Darth Vader gallery mode images. Pretty cool...

Hate to ask...pricing??

 

[John Dirk]

The base model sells for $2500.00??? What is this 2010? I'm out.

They are charging collectibles pricing since apparently there are only 501 of them being produced for the US market.

Ah, the old "limited production" scam. Not falling for that.

 

[JohnRice]

This is one of the most absurd ideas I've ever heard. So, no doubt it'll be hugely successful.

Neither would I. I don't think it is worth the premium for a picture gallery, a remote with Star Wars printed on it and a cardboard box with a picture of Darth Vader; however, other people may very well think it is worth the coin and, for them, they wouldn't be wrong.

The back shell may also have the Star Wars logo imprinted into it.

I think you've inadvertently illustrated why the rich get richer and the poor, well, you know. There are some exceptions, of course, but probably only a few in this particular case.

The price for this hasn't been announced. That's the MSRP of the regular 65" C2 OLED.

From the CNET article:

Pricing is unclear, but the normal model sells for around $2,500.

From the CNET article:

That's what I meant by "base" model, which means the customized version will cost substantially more. The absolute most I'd pay for a 65 incher these days is maybe $1500.00.

U don't know the Power....LOL!!

They should include the theatrical versions with this tv only.

Wish I had need for a Star Wars tv. Very cool though.
