What could be inside this backyard TARDIS? Find out after the break.
This Jedi telescope allows you to insert 10 built-in Star Wars planets and ships into the heavens. It also features astronomy lessons from Yoda where he will teach you that “the planets and ships throughout the Star Wars universe are similar to our own.” Yes indeed, there is nothing more magical than having a cup of coffee in the morning and watching the Death Star come up over the horizon.

If I have a choice about how to do my star gazing, it would obviously be with a rocket. While this one will not allow you to do it from space, its 375x magnification will make you feel like you are there. And when you aren’t checking out distant planets you can slap its nose cone back on and set it upright like it is ready for launch. All you need is a countdown and a smoke machine to have the ultimate telescope.
