FAIRFAX, Va., May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, ThinkGeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com), the online retail hub for technology enthusiasts and wholly owned subsidiary of SourceForge (Nasdaq: LNUX), is revealing "Dads and Grads," its list of high-tech gadgets designed to help gift-givers honor that special graduate or father-figure in their lives.

"Graduation is such a big moment for graduates and parents, I remember it like it was just, ahem, yesterday! As a day that will be remembered for such a long time, why not give a gift that's fun and useful?" said Caroline Offutt, vice president and general manager, ThinkGeek. "Dads can become kids again and graduates get to hold out for a little bit longer."

Of the many products available, a long-awaited favorite is back, providing a chance for Dads and Grads to bond like never before. Sort of the modern equivalent of playing catch, only much better and with lots of sound effects, the beloved Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers ($99.99) are now available! They come in six different authentic saber styles, each equipped with blades that light from the bottom up and trigger their own sound effects.
