YOU BETCHA!
Darth Tater!

WHEN, George? WHEN will you have enough money???

Well, there went any respect I had for the franchise.

Luke, I am your sidedish.

Screw you guys, I'm buying one for the novelty value. It's not that Star Wars is whoring itself out as much as the fanwhores like myself want to buy anything and everything with the SW label on it.

....when Lucas envisioned the dark lord of the sith, did he REALLY see this coming?

I've heard that his inspiration for the Falcon's design was a hamburger. Mybe he was eating a baked potato when he created Vader.

I fail to see what is wrong with this. As a matter of fact, I think I'm gonna pick one up.

I would have had much less of an issue with Jabba the Spud ... I mean he's already potato shaped!

[groaner]"You don't know the power of the baked side."[/groaner]

I definetily have to get this for that empty space on my desktop''s case.

That's awesome! That thing is totally sitting on my desk.

O.M.G.

The only SW paraphenalia that deserves a place on my desk is my Darth Vader Star Wars Unleashed figure, which kicks much arse.

Cool...I can have this versus my Angry Tribble from Trek.

Angry Tribble? As opposed to a Calm&Happy Tribble?

That can be a metaphor for the whole versus debate: star trek, soft and fluffy, versus star wars, mean and... potatoey.

The Tribble I got only makes the mad noise, so I call the Angry Tribble. They sell families of the furry suckers though.

For the most part...it distracts clients as they stare at the thing as I tell them how screwed the pooch they could be if they don't shape up if the IRS catches wind of their stupidity.

A Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head, named Darth Tater? Kickass, I want one!

Forgot the sarcasm tags in mine. Anyhow, looks like Lucas knows his fanbase.

I'm still waiting for Star Wars: The Toilet Paper.

OH for Christ sake!!! What next?

I don't think George will have reached the limit of whoring until there is an actual Star Wars themed whore house owned and operated by Lucasfilm in Nevada.

It'll be full of various incarnations of Leia, Amidala, Mon Mothma , Twi' lek chicks the colors of the rainbow etc...

This is awesome!

Does Lucas really check every single peice of merchandise? far more likly is that some other part of Lucasfilm, Licensing (probebly).

Things like that have been popular for awhile. They're especially popular in Idaho.

(backs away slowly, looking down)

How peculiarly cool.

Bwwwahahahhahahaha

Okay, I just thought that it was funny ...

I'm gonna buy that sucker.

I beg to differ. The shape of Darth Vader's helmet resembles nothing of that of a potato. If we examine Vader's overall appearance, even the shape of the helmet alone would strenghten the hypothesis that the author was actually inspired by a certain bodily organ that would be best described as 'Phallus'. It is interesting to note that the shape of the toy suffers from severe distortion, which in my opinion may be contradictory to author's intention when creating the said character. In my opinion, it would be more reasonable for manufacturers to issue a certain kind of Vader-inspired product which would properly function in respect to the character's overall shape and its object of inspiration.
