I think 7-Eleven had the same cups. That guy in the commercial is funny too.

From what I could find online, yes, I think so.
I also saw some ROTJ cups, so I might post some pictures of those some time later.

The Japanese ad gave me flashbacks to that French clip, which has horrified many around here before. That’s only the tip of the Japanese SW knockoff iceberg. 😉

Hmm, “Message from Space” actually looks like a pretty decent B-movie.

“The War in Space” is a bit too on the nose though.
However Wookiee with horns is still less weird (and creepy) than disco Threepio.
(Also isn’t this just the space-suit from 2001: A Space Odyssey?)


I also just now realized that the Majik Market (& 7 Eleven) cups gave Ben a red lightsaber and Vader a blue one.
