ThinkGeek.com's Star Wars-themed April Fools joke product for this year ...

Death Star Trench Toss - Use the Force!
Everything that has transpired has done so according to our design. We wanted the perfect outdoor game for our BBQ parties this summer, something that would be enjoyable for our non-geek relations while offering the opportunity for cosplay and Jedi jokes. Fortuitously, at a very un-fun family reunion, one of our monkeys stumbled on the perfect idea - and Death Star Trench Toss was born.

Also known as cornhole, bean bag toss, corn toss, baggo, and other names that will also make you giggle inappropriately, Death Star Trench Toss is deceptively simple to play. Players take turns throwing bean bag X-wings or TIE Fighters at the Death Star board from across the yard, trying to fly directly into the thermal exhaust port. If your aim is as poor as a Stormtrooper, don't fret; you'll still get points if your vehicle knocks down a deflection tower or lands on the board.

The Death Star Trench Toss features a poplar wood frame, high-quality plywood top, and a vinyl layer for waterproofing. It's ready for years of outdoor play, which is about how long it will take you to be able to fly the bean bags with the power of the Force.

US$124.99

BUT, some of their previous April Fools joke products, like the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, have actually become a reality thanks to customer demand. I'd probably buy it, although not at that price. :)
