I disagree with Lucas' religious beliefs (which he has stated in the past are what the Force is about (it's Hindu)), but I can still enjoy the movies without thinking he's out to get me and my family!
: : This page is definitely a joke... perhaps even an advertisement for the products mentioned.
: : C'mon... I've seen the candy thing in the store... and yes, my brother in law and I joked about how it seems to be a French-kiss toy... but really!
