On a slightly related note, I discovered that in Canada, on the packaging it's called just called Resse peanutbutter cups, instead of Resse's peanutbutter cups. I wonder why?
Lucasfilm and related toy companies are trying to squeeze all the marketing they can out of this movie. I was in Toys R Us with my brother yesterday, and I found a lot of older star wars toys repackaged in "new" Clone Wars packaging. I've seen a lot of the same lightsabre and lego set toys marketed for the other movies.

Oh, that's nothing new. Art Asylum has started repackaging the old Star Trek Mego Toys in anticipation for new movie. There's also a dvd which contains all of the old Gold Keys comics.
Also I like how they're using Genndy Tartakovsky's art style even though the man's not involved, as if they had come up with that look all along.

The Trek Megos are new- just Krik and Sock is the old ones in new cards- there's a Gorn that's a huge improvment over the brown Lizard they released in the 70's and the repop Romulan's helmet is reflective gold instead of yellow plastic. My roommate collects the Mego stuff- dont ask me why. I bought him the repop Andorian and Romulan for his birthday.
