Star Wars is back, and in the grand tradition of movie tie-ins, it has its own cereal. But I’m a little confused. Are Yoda and Darth Vader about to square off over a bowl of cereal? I guess there weren’t many grocery stores a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Yoda looks pretty angry. I’m not sure I’d like to stare at that face over my breakfast table. Is he daring me to eat that cereal? This is a little violent for breakfast.
Maybe it is all just a Jedi mind trick.
But not to be left out, the Trix Rabbit also got in on the act. Here he is, dressed as his favorite Star Wars character.
He’s dressed as Princess Leia. Not what I would have expected. Is there something we should know about him? Seems like an odd choice. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I wonder how that box sold down South? “Yee-haw and fry my griddles! I ain’t having no gol-darn cross-dressing rabbit cereal in this house! Where’s my shotgun? I’m going out to shoot me a good old-fashioned muskrat for breakfast. And somebody check the still. I think I saw some revenuers sneaking around.”
Meanwhile, lost and left out of all the cross-promotion, is poor Jar Jar Binks.

Looks like they’re repackaging Lucky Charms as Star Wars cereal=PT Barnum right again!

You must be right. There were hardly any boxes left.
