Drop The Knife, The Tauntaun Sleeping Bag Is Now Real

Thanks to Lucasfilm’s nod of approval, ThinkGeek’s got a treat for every Jedi’s snuggly-wuggly-cuddly-just-10-more-minutes-please-mum side. I want to throw a sleepover just to have an excuse to roll out a bunch of these Tauntaun sleeping bags, complete with Lightsaber zipper-pulls!.

It started out as an April Fools’ joke, but as it happens with most of ThinkGeek’s pranks: People wanted the real thing. So after some pleading with Lucasfilm, ThinkGeek got the blessings needed to bring us a sleeping bag to “simulate the warmth of a Tauntaun carcass”. I wonder if it mimics the smell, too.
