Take The Action to The Skies With These STAR WARS Kites

When was the last time you flew a kite? Do kids even play with them anymore? How can kites possibly compete with virtual reality, video games, and the new golden age of television? Well, being shaped like Star Wars characters and ships is a good start.

ThinkGeek has unveiled a series of officially licensed Star Wars kites that will give you control of some of the galaxy's most recognizable items. Pick one up for $39.99 here.

Choose to fly R2-D2, the Death Star, Luke's X-Wing, or Han's Millennium Falcon (hey, he won it fair and square). You can stage peaceful, floaty dogfights. The X-Wing's swooping in on the Death Star for the trench run! Just like in the movies, only a lot more relaxing.
