Every Padawan needs a well-balanced breakfast, and what’s more traditional than a stack of pancakes with your selection of fruity or sweet toppings to customize your meal? With these Star Wars-themed pancake molds, you can batter up your own Darth Vader or Yoda pancakes, depending on your side of the force. The Heroes & Villains set comes with three molds, with the last one resembling the stormtrooper … because every leader needs his minions.

How can these heroes and villains travel around the galaxy called your breakfast plate, you ask? Well, Jedi master chef, complete the Star Wars experience with the vehicle pancake molds for treats that look like the X-Wing Fighter, TIE Fighter, and Han Solo’s classic Millennium Falcon. The molds are simple to use: Just pour the batter inside the shape on a preheated non-stick griddle. When one side has cooked, use the handle to remove the mold and flip. No, not with that old plastic stick. A meal this grand deserves the R2D2 spatula treatment.

Star Wars R2D2 SpatulaPriced at $15, the R2D2 spatula is the perfect final accessory to this galactic breakfast because everyone knows droids make the best pancakes. It’s made with a flexible nylon-silicon surface for heat-resistance, and it won’t scratch your pans. If you prefer others, however, you also have options of Darth Vader and Stormtrooper designs. All three are dishwasher safe so cleaning after this much fun can be the last thing on your mind.

The Heroes & Villains mold is available at Williams-Sonoma for $20, and the Vehicles are currently on sale at $10 a set. Williams-Sonoma also has an entire line of Star Wars cookware so you can extend your taste buds to more than just breakfast time. They’ll be the most epic eats you can get out of your own kitchen.

However you spend the rest of Star Wars day, you know we’ll always say: May the Fourth be with you.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
