Was in Target to grab some groceries this evening. They sure do have a lot of Star Wars stuff now! I think half the Halloween costumes are Star Wars. And some prequel characters are represented.

Will be interesting to see how many people dress up as characters from a movie that won't be out until Christmas time.

I also saw an "angry teddy bear" mask that looks like a crazed Ewok.

Almost impulse bought an Artoo kitchen timer, but I have two ordinary timers already.

I didn't linger in the toy aisle too long to avoid accidental spoilers, but the BB-8 display was neat. And those four foot tall(!) action figures made me a little envious that Kenner never thought of such a thing way back when.

Much to my surprise, they had cheap lookalike electronic lightsabers in the dollar section. I recall Fox going after such copycat items in the old days, and considering the real deal is on the other side of the store, it's a little strange. I'm sure Disney isn't going to like it.
