It's real!
​They did it! They made the damned thing: the Tauntaun sleeping bag is a reality. If you remember, the sleeping bag started as an April Fool's joke by the people at ThinkGeek. Demand was so intense they decided to try to make the sleeping bag for real. And what Star Wars fans want, Star Wars fans get. Pre-order at ThinkGeek or at the Star Wars Shop. It has the light saber zipper pull, the comfy pillow head, the lining patterned like intestines. It is machine washable. Cost is $99.99.

Glad to see this idea became reality.

If Star Wars fans get what they want, then I want a light saber.

A REAL one.

ThinkGeek, get cracking!
