As Lego only sells USB Minifigs with "normal" bodies and I rather wanted one from the star wars universe, I decided to build my one on my own. This is now my attempt to share what I did.
disclaimer thingy: This is my first instructable, so if there are points that should be made better, feel free to point them out in the comments.
I am also aware that I probably should/could have made more pictures, but I simply forgot them during the last few steps or was to impatient ;).

Signing UpStep 1What you need
Parts:
- Lego Minifig (don't need any legs, as we are going to use the cap of the USB stick)
- Nano USB stick (I used this one from pollin but you probably can use any one that has about these dimensions. I although can recommend this one, as the casing is easy to open : ) )
- Phone charm thingies (not shure what the correct term is, but you can check the pictures to see what I mean)
Tools:
- milling cutter (used to cave the torso)
- drill (used to drill holes in the head and the helmet
- saw (to shorten the metal part of the phone charm)
- super glue
You actually don't need 3 different tools. I used a dremel with different attachments for everything.

gluing feet to the cap could work, but as I carry it on my keychain that probably wouldn't hold long :/
First of all the legs are only slightly thicker than the stick. so you would have to carve almost everything away, what wouldn't really help stability.
Then you would have to still ensure, that the legs are tight enough, so that the don't fall of immediately.
And the probably biggest problem is the fact, that the legs (including the hips) consist of 3 part, that you would have to combine somehow.
I would say it's nearly impossible to come up with a nice solution, but maybe someone here has a good idea :)
