I am overwhelmed and appalled by the amount of Star Wars merchandise out there.... Really if you are a massive fan or collector are you really going to buy ALL that crap?!? It just seems like such a shameless money grab with no thought of their target market, or general good taste- it seems TACKY
Covergirl for example are selling Star Wars branded lipstick.... so ridiculous!
Surely most of the branded stuff will end up in a few months reduced to clear in bargain bins, or am I completely wrong?
Who's buying?!? Thoughts?

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections

we buy some of the stuff as our last name is in Star Wars ( don't want to say which one)
But I agree some of the merchandise is just beyond a joke it's everywhere

As the mother of a StarWars obsessed eight year old, I could not agree more! It's absolute madness!

DS has never watched Star Wars so I don't buy it for him but the merchandise has been around for years, this year because of the movie release there is more of it - I know parents with older kids and a lot of DH friends love Star Wars and do buy the stuff

Star Wars make waaaaaay more money from merchandise than from the actual movies, and it always has. It's mostly aimed at children, but yes, the SW makeup range is pretty silly
