If fishing isn’t your cup of tea, here is another fun way to spend those hot summer days in a true Star Wars style.

This new line of Star Wars kites will start to ship in July and can now be pre-ordered from the official Star Wars shop.

There are six different models to chose from:

• Darth Vader Superflyer Kite ($38.99)
• Darth Vader Superflyer Kite ($26.99)
• Darth Vader Helmet Kite ($39.99)
• Jedi Duel Delta Kite ($29.99)
• Yoda Parafoil 5 Kite ($29.99)
• R2-D2 Kite ($34.99)

This cool Star Wars kit allows you to build your very own custom lightsaber.

This Saber Kit is just what you need to build your custom saber. One main saber unit with a tri-color blade (flip a switch and choose red, green, or blue – each with corresponding and different sound effects) and a slew of parts let you assemble the saber you’ve dreamed of.

Here’s a video showing some of the things you can do with the kit:

All the parts are based on actual screen-seen components, so your saber will look like an awesome mashup from the movies. And the coolest part is, you don’t have to choose between the Jedi and the Sith – because you can switch back and forth with the flip of a . . . well, switch.

The Star Wars DIY Force FX Lightsaber Kit ($100) is available at ThinkGeek.

Maybe you saw the Yoda Pizza a couple of months ago. Now the face of this wise and powerful Jedi master has paid a visit to the owen once again.

Desert maker Zoë Lukas has created a series of awesome hand painted Yoda cookies in celebration of an upcoming Star Wars exhibit at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia.

The former Star Wars fan club president Dustin Roberts took the opportunity to film his wife getting this awesome sci-fi gaming Jedi Mario tattoo.

I suggested she use her number one passion Mario Brothers and maybe make Mario a Jedi. Next thing I know she’s on crack space and has lined up Randy Martinez to do the artwork!

Here’s the video of Randy creating the Jedi Mario tattoo:
