This is getting outta hand!
I don't think I've ever seen the Market flooded with more stuff since the Incredible Hulk. But it seems that it's more than what the incredible Hulk offered. This, after all, Star Wars we are talking about. There had been rumors that George Lucas was afraid this movie would bomb. I'm begining to wonder if it's true. There are just some of the licensing we have seen over the past weeks/months.
Jedi M&Ms -- So far the best commerical, I think.
Lego Star Wars -- We already knew it was heavy into the legos but now they have a video game that spans all movies, but a Star Wars lego movie, you can see on Cartoon Network or view on the Lego sight.
Playboy -- Actress Bai Ling poses for Playboy, making funny mention that she is a Senator. But the cover still doesn't hestiate to proclaim Hot Jedi Action.
Nascar -- Jeff Gordon won his race a few weeks ago in the Pepsi car which had YODA on the hood. Yeah, sure. What are the odds of this happening so soon before the movie?
Pepsi -- speaking of the drink, their ad contains a commerical for Yoda using the Force to "persuade" some frat boy to give up his burger and fries but his will is too strong to give up his Diet Pepsi. CHEESY!
Others We've Seen
Star Wars Cereal, which offers everything from a Saber Spoon to a R2-D2 Adventure Bowl, whatever the hell that means.
Star Wars Ring Tones
Star Wars Cheez-its
Star Wars Kudos
Star Wars Labels on Pepsi 2-Liters
A brand new retelling of the Star Wars Legacy for childrens books
Lays Potato chips that offer Star Wars Stickers in each bag
And it just goes on and on and on
I have a feeling, George, Revenge of the Sith will make the necessary money you need. People always go for the last Hoorah.
