Could The Force be with you? A toy due in stores this fall will let you test and hone your Jedi-like abilities.



The Force Trainer (expected to be priced at $90 to $100) comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower, analogous to Yoda and Luke Skywalker's abilities in the Star Wars films.

I'd love to have seen the marketing tests on this. The kids have to think, carefully, to get a ball to move up and down. It sounds slightly more interesting than watching cement dry, but not much. I'd give it half an hour for the novelty to wear off. For diehard, cultish Star Wars fans, maybe fifteen minutes more.
