Questions have been "raised" after products were released today, NOT featuring a "Star Wars" tie-in. Instead the products, which are generic processed foods, just have the brand name, a description and a slightly optimistic picture of the contents complete with the words "Serving Suggestion" on the packaging.
Outraged "Star Wars" fans reacted angrily to the launch. Many took to Twitter to complain, while others painted their arses blue and waved them at the passing traffic, while making light sabre-esque swooshing and humming noises.
Adult child, Luke Solo, 53 self-declared Jedi Ambassador to the forest moon of Endor, said he was "appalled". "At this auspicious time, when a new chapter in the Star Wars saga is released, isn't it reasonable to expect every single product lining the shelves, be they condoms or bog rolls, dog food or sweeties, to be emblazoned with a "Star Wars" tie-in? Remember, many Boothan's died for this. And the absence of any "Star Wars" branding on these products is simply an outrageous and calculated slur to their memory. Frankly, that they couldn't even Wedge in an oblique reference to these films says much about the contempt this manufacturer has for the Force. And I'm not the only one who finds their lack of faith, disturbing"

Leading comedian, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival fixture, Tedium Panelshow said, "Stay on target, that's no Moon, It's a trap. I got a little cooked, but I'm okay. Use the Force, Luke". These comments were greeted with much appreciative smirking. Recalling the first time, twenty years ago, a comedian spouted random, out of context "Star Wars" dialogue for comedic effect, fan Rick Tusgrin said "that just doesn't get old" adding "holding her is dangerous" he chortled, before immediately getting a gig writing a Hollywood summer blockbuster that is now due for release in 2016.
