Most asinine "Star Wars" merchandising you've seen so far?

[Archae]

It'll take a lot to beat this stupid lawn sprinkler.

"Let the Dark Side defend your lawn from the ravages of summer heat or cool you off on a hot day with this Darth Vader sprinkler! Standing 10" tall, this great new Vader sprinkler spins around with water spraying action, wielding his lightsaber in a furious battle to save your lawn! Let Darth Vader be the center of your backyard universe today with this very cool garden accessory."

1. Yep, but I bet that bugger would get stolen pretty quick.

2. Especially by college kids.

We used to live a few miles from Lakeland College outside of Howards Grove, WI and our lawn ornaments (including a lawn jockey) were stolen on a regular basis.

4. That would have to be a backyard sprinkler

Would be cool if you had kids, but goofy.

3. the guy at work trying to get people on the firm softball team

he wrote a lengthy email full of incredibly lame Star Wars metaphors. :eyes:

5. I WANT IT!!

I think it so stupid it is humorous.. And, I know a lot of people who would think this is so COOL! But then I lost my mind a long time ago...:)

9. It's at Target stores.

Just saw it in their Sunday fishwrap flyer.

11. On sale and online at Target??

LOL! Yippee!

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. Asinine? That's awesome!

I can irrigate my lawn with the power of the Dark Side! :freak:

7. By category:

For Kids:

All of it. Especially the light saber that, when you press its button, you hear Darth Vader's heavy horny breathing. Yawn.

For adults:
Star Wars toilet paper, Star Wars condoms, and Star Wars "light sabers" in convenient 8" size are perennial best sellers.

8. How many have you ordered?

[Nevernose]

10. I have a Jar-Jar toothbrush in the cabinet

For what it's worth...

If I had a lawn, I'd be at Target in a second for that damned sprinkler -- no more average lawn care products for me.

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. I think a Jar-Jar toilet brush would be more appropriate.

The good thing about "Sith" is that Jar Jar has no dialog.

[Deja Q]

14. Does Jar Jar get killed off?

If Lucas had any sense he'd let Jar Jar fade away gracefully, rather than reminding us of how great computer graphics technology is by hyping him up yet a third time.

[ContraBass Black]

19. That's exactly what he does.

He appears solemnly in a procession for one shot. The camera focuses on his solemn face.

And that's all. No dialog, no action. He's actually dignified, and then he's gone.

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. He makes a total of two appearances- and no dialog in either.

No hijinks, as well.

[Hatalles]

24. Jar Jar can be heard at the end of Return of the Jedi.

... during the final celebration scenes when the camera swipes to Naboo.

[ikojo]

16. I agree...I think a Darth Vader lawn sprinkler would

be awesome but then again I am a die hard Star Wars fanatic.

[ucmike]

13. anything where vader is pedaling producte

especially the burger king commercials.

i don't see how a character that represents the absolute face of evil is a good front for hamburgers and kids toys.

[UncleSepp]

21. I don't get that, either

Somehow Vader's become the fun face. I expect to see little fuzzy plushy Vaders for babies. How did that happen? How did the bad guy become the hero? Is it just our times?

[evlbstrd]

15. Yoda Pepsi ads.

Just irritates the shit outta me.

[kodi]

17. the new star wars light saber tampoon applicator

in my dreams.

[Archae]

18. Here's another one.

This was a real product, I remember seeing it when "The Phantom Menace" first came out.

22. The Jar Jar Binks Candy Tongue reigns supreme

Yes, kiddies, the tongue actually springs out with the press of a button, and it is made of delicious CANDY. And this is a 100% real product.



At last, French-kissing Jar Jar Binks, the dream of so many kids in America, can be made a reality.

[CanuckAmok]

23. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!

My eyes...it burns!!

By god, that is the most horrible thing I have ever seen.

So much for a good night's sleep, for the rest of my life.

[Groggy]

25. Isn't all of it ??

Sorry don't mean to offend anyone, but I just don't get it!.:crazy: ;)

26. The Dark Side M&Ms are great

Stupid merchandising (Galactic Gossip!) but the candy itself is soooo much better than the normal version. I hope they keep selling them after the movie has run its course, but since they stopped making the mint flavored M&Ms in favor of those G** awful peanut butter things I won't hold my breath. -tg
