Use The Spork, Luke

Hasbro, Inc. has announced that in association with the release of the hopefully-not-crappy, third? sixth? installment of the Star Wars series, Revenge of the Sith, they will release a new Mr. Potato Head: Darth Tater:



The goofy-looking spud will come with a light saber, cape and helmet in addition to the regular Mr. Potato Head accessories. No reason or explanation for the release of this ridiculous toy has been given by Hasbro, but my guess is, as with all of the Star Wars product tie-ins, they just want to make a quick buck off of the young and susceptible and old and reminiscent. The toy will retail for $7.⁹⁹ and will be available next month. Hasbro will also release a Wookiee Soaker Super Soaker, shaped like one of the weapons used by the Wookiee warriors in Revenge of the Sith, in association with the film's release. So go out and spend, spend, spend so that George Lucas can further line his pockets.
