Star Wars fans looking to get a little exercise might want to consider kicking around this Death Star Soccer Ball. That's right, the most iconic space station ever created has been turned into a soccer ball. Said ball was released only at the recently held Star Wars Europe Celebration II and as such is a collector's item.
It would be easy to mistake the Death Star Soccer Ball for just a plain, grey ball. However, once the action stops and the ball is still, the super laser imprint is a dead giveaway. Also, the grey stripe that runs across its center is undoubtedly the Death Star's trench. ThinkGeek has gotten its hand on a limited number of these balls and is selling them for $29.99.
