Zip open the carcass of your very own Tauntaun sleeping bag, and rest inside its warm gooey organs, for a snowy sleep.The brilliant minds over at Think Geek cooked up this Tauntaun bag, complete with light saber zipper, how else were you going to get inside?Sadly, it's an April Fools' joke but wouldn't it be amazing if someone actually made these sleeping bags, hell I'd still sleep in it today. This is by far the best, and cruelest joke we've seen all day. Well done, geeks.

It's being reported that Spock himself, Zachary Quinto will lend his voice to the reading of the novelization of JJ Abrams upcoming reinvention of Star Trek for the recording of the audio book.

Five reasons why Battlestar Galactica is the coolest sci fi show on TV
Back in 2003, executive producer Ronald D. Moore had a vision for an updated Galactica which would be everything sci fi classics such as Star Trek were not: Gritty. Explicit. Sexual. Flawed. And decidedly not about gadgets or technology. For those of us used to Star Wars-style space opera, it hit like a robot’s shot to the solar plexus. (read my first attempt to grapple with it in 2003 here ). Moore’s grand experiment ends at 9 tonight on the Sci Fi Channel with a two-hour movie,...

Orci & Kurtzman: Why they don't call Star Trek a reboot
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, co-writers of J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek movie, told SCI FI Wire that they don't consider the movie a "reboot" of the franchise or the original series and argue that the film's time-travel element was necessary to bridge the new story with everything that has come before. They also told us why this Trek may have more Star Wars in it. (Spoilers ahead!) In this final part of our three-part exclusive interview, Orci said, "We couldn't imagine not having this...

Filed under: OpEd, Dancing with the Stars, Episode Reviews(S08E07) - "I'm not scared of the double elimination or rattlesnakes" - TyI was happy aboutone thing last night that I forgot to mention: all the music fit. I dreaded that this week would have more obscene tango music (Star Wars Tango?) and six performances of the Lindy Hop set to Christina Aguilera's "Candyman," but the classics fit. Speaking of no bad music, the guest performers would have been given a harsh critique by Simon Cowellif...

Capt. Kirk's chair coming soon to a Trekkie's living room near you
doll , a commemorative Shatner vs. Takei "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots" play set and a willingness to take the life of a combative Star Wars nerd in the show's defense. Now you can add a fourth requirement to that list: a replica of the Captain's chair. Trekkies across the country are building replicas of the Captain's chair that Kirk's alien babe loving butt sat in oh so many years ago. And they aren't hiding them in their parents' basements or backyard sheds from the prying, judgmental...

Umm Ok, Natalie

This mock commercial written and directed by Adam Green , who also directed the 2006 horror film Hatchet , was just an excuse to get two beautiful women ( Rileah Vanderbilt and Clare Grant ) fighting with lightsabers in their underwear.
