In "The Empire Strikes Back," Jedi master Yoda scolded his student, Luke Skywalker, for not properly listening to instructions. It's nice to know that a GPS device incorporating Yoda's voice will be equally as ornery to stubborn drivers who feel they don't need directions.

TomTom, a company that makes global-positioning devices, recently signed a licensing deal with Lucasfilm to use three "Star Wars" character voices (Han Solo will be the fourth in August) in an effort to get drivers to their destination in the safest and nerdiest way possible.

The Yoda voice one also sound less perverted since I noticed a lot of those automated female voices have a sexy female tone like she is desperate for some action. 8)
