Since today marks the 35th anniversary of the original Star Wars film, I figured I’d do a few Star Wars related posts today. Seeing as it’s also Friday, might as well make today fun.

What you’re looking at here is a Star Wars Lightsaber Umbrella. Living in Miami, an umbrella is definitely something I never want to leave home without but why carry around a plain old umbrella when you can carry around a lightsaber, that happens to also be an umbrella?

I really wish I had seen this before going on my Star Wars Weekend trip to Orlando as I would have definitely taken this with me into the park. I’m sure it would have been a real conversation piece and I would have gotten the nod from my fellow Jedi.

Available in 3 styles, Anakin, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan, they retail at ThinkGeek right now for $39.99.
