Not far, far away enough for my comfort sometimes

With another - the final, we're told (the tagline is "The Sage is complete") - big screen Star Wars film set to debut the middle of next week, all manner of fans and people pandering to the same are beginning to emerge again.

Fans, and merchandise for the same, of the Star Wars franshise continue to be some of the most unsettling in fandom. Here we see a "Slave Leia Pet Costume," which could be innocently, if misguidedly cute, but is something I find vaguely disturbing.

The sound's poor and the delivery isn't much better, but at least a little creativity and humor went into this flash spot for Yoda's Force Academy. I'm guessing that this "Yodas' Jedi Academy" diploma ad I'm a crypt leak forwarded to me, with all its punctuation and spelling errors, is also intentionally done up as a joke. In general it's nice to see that some of the fans try to have a sense of humor about it all.

Some of them seem to be a little too deep into the costumes and take it a tad too seriously, though maybe that's a look that just happens whenever one gets Germans and anything to do with "storm troopers" together? I'm not sure what to make of the guy on the right. (Another of the... fruits of IaCL's image searches.)

Still, there's nothing like the classics.
