LucasFever is definitely hitting fever pitch, with the release of Star Wars – Episode XI: The Rise of Skywalker next week. And if you're feeling a little bit Dark, you can now get this Sith-inspired Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Star Wars Special Edition.

Hot on the heels of George Lucas' Panavision camera that shot the original Star Wars, along with the Star Wars instax camera and film, you can also celebrate the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga with the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Star Wars Special Edition – complete with a Dark side Lightsaber S-Pen. We guess the 'S' must stand for 'Sith'!

This ultra-collectible phone comes in a specially designed Kylo Ren box, a metal badge of 'shattered helmet Ren', the aforementioned Sith Pen, and Galaxy Buds in a Dark Side-inspired case.

The phone also displays its Dark Side allegiance on the inside, too, with exclusive Star Wars-themed content including wallpapers, shutdown animations, icons and sounds – and it has to be said, the UI actually as cool as the phone's exterior in sleek First Order black and red.

As for the phone itself, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is one of the best camera phones out there. We rated it a mighty 4½ stars for its quad-camera performance, packed with clever features like Live Focus, Live Focus Video, Pro, Food, Night, Instagram, Slow Motion, Super Slow-mo, and Hyperlapse – not to mention that videos can be recorded at up to 60fps in 4K resolution.

Currently the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ Star Wars Special Edition is exclusive to Samsung's website and selected Samsung Experience Stores (Oxford Street, London, Westfield Stratford City, London and Manchester Trafford in the UK). It's available now for $1,299.99 in the US and  £1,199 in the UK, and can be preordered for AU$1,999 in Australia (for release on 17 December).
