Merchandising, Merchandising, Merchandising!!!!

Where the real money from the film is made.

Spaceballs the Flame-Thrower! The kids love that one!

Never has a parody hit so close to home for what it is making fun of... and it is only going to be MORESO under Disney, the masters of getting (nearly to the point of 'FORCING' - see what I did there?) people to buy metric crap-tons of licensed-income-generating plastic.

I wonder how much ANA is paying Disney for the privilege of doing part of Disney's marketing for them....

I would bet that the money is going the other way. Or else they've got some sort of marketing sharing thing going on. Look for an ANA branded spaceliner in Mos Eisley.

Surprised they didn't put a "kin" after ANA. For completeness.

Also, coulda had an X-Wing... Or A-Wing.

My first thought was “Does Star Wars really need marketing stunts to generate interest in the upcoming movie?”

Excuse me sir, but that R2-D2 er I mean 787 is in prime condition, a real bargain.

On the subject of marketing, I saw a Tris Prior Christmas tree ornament on sale at a local Hallmark’s store. In May. Sometimes the product just doesn’t move well.
