Despite months of hinting that gradually turned into months of coldly ignored demands, my girlfriend is still stubbornly refusing to get me a Tauntaun sleeping bag for Christmas. Lame, right? I would sleep so soundly and so comfortably inside a Tauntaun sleeping bag! There’s no way anything could ever be as great as one of holy shit look a Millennium Falcon bed!
- “Excuse me Princess, but do you come with the bed?” BA-DUM-BUM CHING!
Okay. To be fair, this thing looks like someone just found a roundish piece of foam in a dumpster somewhere and then spent a few days scribbling on it with permanent markers—and if Princess Leia doesn’t come with the bed, good luck getting anything else with a vagina within 12 parsecs of the thing. Also, who was the smartass who put these guys in the cockpit?
- Goddammit.
io9 has more sort-of-cool-but-mostly-depressing pictures. I never thought I’d say this, but I think I’d rather have a Predator-cycle. Chicks love those things.
In case you were wondering, the tauntaun sleeping bag is really nice and warm. There’s no heat in my basement, but that thing keeps my girl and me warm on the couch.
I hate you eldepeche
@Erik: You could always just get your girlfriend the sleeping bag.
Graham is right. That’s how I got most of my gaming systems.
There’s been a real boon in Star Wars sleeping ephemera. I think the AT-AT bunk beds are my favorite so far.
@Erik A hot female friend of mine owns the tauntaun sleeping bag, maybe you can ask if you can join her? We could both use a good laugh.

@Andy & Erik: At first I was like, “Sweet! Hot girl with a tauntaun!”, but then I was like, “Oh damn, she’s a SG and likes in Oakland or something”. So I know I don’t have a chance to get in to her tauntaun. Mainly because I’m not going to Oakland.
“get in to her tauntaun” – the most disturbing sexual euphemism of 2009? I say yes.
What the crap are you supposed to use for sheets on that thing?
@Marjorie: Custom sheets. They aren’t that uncommon, most live aboard boat owners have weird shaped beds, (to get them to fit in the hull,) and so they have to buy custom sheets and so there are plenty of custom sheet/blanket manufacturers out there. That said, those do look more complicated than your average custom sheet job.
