Tauntaun, Part II


I wrote an email to a few extra geeky friends after finding the web site thinkgeek.com.  There, I found a sleeping bag, which was designed to look like a Tauntaun and thereby make it seem like you had slit one open yourself to enable you to survive the frigid weather of the planet Hoth.  Allow me to demonstrate with some visuals:

What the planet Hoth is supposed to look like.



Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and...a tauntaun.  Shortly after this picture was taken, Han Solo ripped open the belly of the tauntaun and threw Luke Skywalker inside...



At thinkgeek.com , one can find a simulation for the real experience with the tauntaun sleeping bag...

Which leads to my previous post where I had first mentioned the tauntaun.  This time it had to do with the giant pumpkins we saw.



Aren't allusions wonderful?  If you had watched, and remembered, what happened in the Empire Strikes Back, I wouldn't have to explain any of this!

That is all.  Look at that pumpkin though...
