This Is Hilarious And Oh So Very True

I spotted this chart on Twitter, which I guess originated at Cracked.com, on why Hollywood doesn't give geeks what they want:

Vader Coffee & Other SW Stuff

Think Geek has for sale Darth Vader's own Dark Side Roast coffee. Hand roasted by stormtroopers, it's yours for only $14.99:

Perusing other wares at the site, you can find all kinds of stuff I haven't seen elsewhere. Too bad I can't drink coffee.

Meanwhile, Target has Clone Wars dogtags from Topps that come with an individual and exclusive trading card. Collect all 24! And they have Clone Wars versions of those rubber bracelets that are popular with kids these days. Not a lot of Target Christmas merch, just a few ornaments this year.

CVS has SW nutcrackers. So far I've seen Vader, Artoo, and Captain Rex.

Speaking of Rex, the Hallmark ornament set with Captain Rex and Yoda has vanished from the shelves of every Hallmark in my area. There are two new Shoebox Christmas cards, one with Vader and a Stormtrooper celebrating Sithmas and another with Yoda and the OT crew caroling.
