10 Ridiculous Film Stories Everyone Believed (But Were Actually April Fool's)

6. TIE Swatter

While, like the Monolith action figure, this is a novelty product branded with a classic sci-fi movie, George Lucas never actually had this made off the back of its success, no matter how much people have pleaded with him to. It's pretty self-explanatory; a fly swatter that looks like a TIE Fighter, but with two awesome added features - a) it makes the signature TIE Fighter noise when you swat something and b) it has a solar-powered ability to zap bugs once it touches them. How freaking cool is that? Hopefully we'll get to see it one day, but I think it's more something we want to happen than is a realistic possibility, sadly.
