    @gaveedra: Oh, yes. Without question, every last io9 reader had already heard about this incredibly important, breaking, highly time-sensitive news. This post has been rendered entirely irrelevant by its gruesome tardiness, as it is well known that all people read the entire Internet all the time.

    Your criticism is thoughtful and sensible, and deeply constructive. Let this serve as a warning to the editors of this blog: We know you have the resources at your disposal to cover every piece of SF-related news as it happens, in real time, so don't miss a scoop like this in the future, or we will call you the fuck out on it.

    Wait. I thought the whole point of Halloween was stealing from children.
    ...Am I the only one that answers "Trick or Treat!" by blurting out, "I'll take: TRICK!", seizing their pillowcases of candy, hurling the door shut then chuckling gleefully nonstop until the wails turn to sobs turn to sniffling turn to dejected shufflings of little feet?
    Anyone? Anyone?!

    @Yamato: He's an alien. How do you know that's his mouth? Or a he? Maybe Predator wasn't about the Hunter vs. the Hunted, but about toxic levels of sexual tension between Schwarzenegger and space beasts.

    What about an adult sized one that looks like...


    ... a hybrid tank from BSG?


    ... a floor coffin from DOLLHOUSE?

    at the very least, a tauntaun hoodie (with zipper, natch) would have a similar effect and may get used more...

    Its bloody brilliant, April fool or not, this thing is fantastic. One gripe, MAN SIZE...why do kids have to have all the fun, then..when I piss the wife off, I can go into the spare room and curl up with my very own Tauntaun sleeping bag..Bliss!!!


    Just thinking, Ewok teddys, Chewbacca Rugs, Lightsaber Cutlery, Death Star light shades, Jabba the Hut litter bin. The possibilitys are endless. I dont think they'll get much stick from Mr Lucas...going on the interview with Seth Mcfarlene in the Blue Harvest DVD, Seth asks, why do you let so many people including us get away with so much piss taking about Star Wars. George in turn said ' I was a no-one at one point scrapping together a filming career, why would I try and crush other peoples dreams'..or summat along those lines. I think he might like these.........

    Yep, ThinkGeek has posted this:


    "ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we'll try!"

    A lot of the ThinkGeek April Fools' jokes become real products.


    At the very least, people are gonna start selling these on Etsy.


    I would like to state here that I have been seen in public wearing a Jedi outfit, and yet even I recoiled in terror and loathing at this.


    But the construction is brilliant.

    The lightsaber zipper-pull really completes the package. I would buy it, but it probably won't come in adult sizes. It would, however, be wonderful at freaking out the other parents at my kid's sleepovers.

    @winshape: Much like Under-roos and cool sheet sets, they don't come in adult sizes. I would KILL for some like GI Joe or Star Wars sheets in King size.
