Star Wars’ 5 billion dollar merchandising windfall is the gift that keeps on giving for Disney this year – but has the merchandising gotten out of hand?

If you have been outside of your home it’s pretty hard to turn a corner without bumping into R2 and pals marketed on almost every product category this holiday.

Might as well start your day with a powerful Jedi breakfast:

For the healthier adults and kids you saw the oranges in the header but maybe you want to make a fruit salad? Heck, I’m all for anything that makes my kids eat more fruit and vegetables.

Eat Grapes You Will.

Never tell me the odds that I’ll have to drink my coffee black.

After breakfast it’s time to get ready for work and put on your makeup face.

Be careful when driving to work today.

And of course, be sure to farm some moisture and keep hydrated.

You know there are a lot of kids products too, but SNL shows us why it’s universally fun to be a fan:

Maybe Disney and Star Wars Merchandising is getting out of hand, but this is a nine-in-a-lifetime event. There is probably no product that can’t get sucked into the Universe’s tractor beam.
