You don't have to admit it, we know you love Star Wars. So next time it rains you'll want to get yourself the Light Saber Umbrella from the funshop.co.kr.

The light saber element comes in the guise of the umbrella's central rod, which is made from clear Perspex and features a LED torch within it.

Better still the torch can actually be taken off the umbrella and used separately when it's not raining.

As website Red Ferret put it; "throw in the terribly useful water repelling function of an umbrella and you’ve got a hip and wacky way to brighten up a dismal day in the city".

The umbrella costs around £20.
