I am afraid Star Wars themed kids party sets and boxes of Pop Tarts with Vader on them are just not that awful. C-3PO underoos is something entirely different. It is a whole different plane of awfulness. You are always going to have cereial and snack boxes having pictures of popular childrens characters on them, that has been going on for a long time. It is pretty standard to walk down the breakfast asle and be bombarded with depictions of Jack Sparrow, Darth Vader, Pokemon and Mickey Mouse. Kids party sets? I am not sure I have even seen a kids party set that was not themed. They change every year, but you will always be able to go to the store and pick out a party set with some theme of something that your kid is into that year, seaon, month. Nothing surprising there at all. And since it is for pretty small kids, I really can see it as all that awful. Things like the porceline line of SW collectables, and some akwardly planned and poorly executed products like the Threepio tape despenser or the Jar Jar sucker, those things are something that are truely deserving of the word "awful".
