Star Wars Han Solo's Millennium Falcon Deluxe Vehicle Kite

Star Wars Han Solo's Millennium Falcon Deluxe Vehicle Kite: by Go Fly a Kite, for Jakks Pacific Outdoor, recommended age 6+, MSRP $29.99

Now it's okay to tell your kids, "go fly a kite", especially if they are Star Wars fans.

With a wingspan just a bit over three feet the Star Wars Han Solo's Millennium Falcon Deluxe Vehicle Kite is a huge presence flying overhead.

It may not "make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs", as Hans Solo did, but kids big and small will have a great time using wind force to help launch and fly this Millennium Falcon.

It is hard to say who really had more fun trying to fly this kite. The younger kids gave it the old 1-2 try, but each time the younger ones started, one of the older kids was up and in the mix, "helping out", within minutes.

It took some strong wind, a lot of leg power, and quite a few crash tests to get this big boy flying .... but fly it did. We did not need long distances or stunt tricks to enjoy ourselves, we were just having a lot of laughs and a really enjoyable time. That's not always easy when kids have to take turns. Kite flying is grand entertainment and often quite comical. It has been a favorite family activity since before Ben Franklin made his famous kite flight.

Kites are still simply magical to watch — and the bigger the better!

Star Wars Han Solo's Millennium Falcon Deluxe Vehicle Kite is a whopping 3 feet long, made of durable poly, and comes with kite string and string winder.
