The voice of android C-3PO is set to be released in July and Hans Solo's in August. Fans can already download Darth Vader's voice commands on the Tom Tom website for $12.95, while Star Wars-themed start-up screens, sounds and car icons are offered for free.

And there are more "Star Wars" voices coming -- C-3PO in June, Yoda in July and Han Solo in August

Oh dear god I want this. I've got a TomTom GPS and this would rock.

Actually, a TNG version would probably be better. You wouldn't even need to get the actors to do much new voice work as you could steal most of it just from the show.

Make it so.
Engage.
Hard to port/starboard.
We're approaching the system.
Plotting a new course.
Course laid in.

etc etc

I think that would get annoying quick. I'd rather have someone cool like Samuel L. Jackson "Turn left again motherfucker! TURN LEFT AGAIN!" :awe:

I don't know if it can compete with the Mr. T voice I have on my TomTom now.

Mr. T pity's the fool who misses his exit.

To be honest, I would like a plain old James Earl Jones theme for my GPS.
