Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Seems some fans are just a bit too keen to get their hands on Burger Kings toys.
“They warned me before it started someone may try to steal my Darth Vader off the roof,” said Chris Hamilton, manager at a Columbus Burger King. But Hamilton wasn’t ready for thieves to break into his Plexiglas display case to steal “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” toys during the promotion. His restaurant is on its third case.
PG denies being in the vicinity. Yav isn’t even on the continent.
Star Wars vomit bags. Just the thing for rewatching the prequel ‘romance’ scenes!
Thanks to Liz for pointing this one out.
Virgin Atlantic is incorporating Star Wars themed airsick bags.
You gotta love an airline that knows its audience. And a great way to fly over to London to catch Ewan McGregor in Guys and Dolls!
Who doesn’t love a dancing, lip-syncing puppet?
Balls! Bowling balls, that is, the latest tie-in merchandise to make me ponder LFL Licensing’s collective sanity.
Ready to wear out your credit cards come midnight tomorrow?
Don’t head out for Midnight Madness without Rebelscum’s toy checklist (PDF file) and TFN’s list of books.
Even M&Ms have a trailer. And they’ve put an X-Wing in Times Square, of all places.
Being -1.7 years old at the release of A New Hope, and considering Star Wars as ‘boy stuff’ during my childhood, I never really got the whole action figure thing. But for those of you with memories of 1977 may enjoy this ‘exact replica’ of the classic Star Wars “Empty Box.”
Revenge of the Sith soundtrack with bonus Palpatine! Well, and a DVD. But mostly Ian McDiarmid. Oddly enough, does not come out on April 2nd with the rest of the prequel stuff…
We also get a look at some new toys. The highlight? An Obi-Wan lightsaber that, um, vibrates:
Obi-Wan Kenobi Electronic Lightsaber — Turn it on and it vibrates with the power of the mystic energy field that surrounds all living things.
Mystical power of the Force. Sure.
There is mounting evidence that the collectibles being released for Episode 3 could probably provide Hildi (of Trading Spaces) with some interesting decorating themes.
Witness the new line of decorating accessories announced on StarWars.com.
I don’t know which is more trippy, the bead curtain or the lava lamp.
