Awkward

Was out deliverying a shipment to Hayward for work yesterday.  On the way back, saw a Toys R’ Us and couldn’t resist.  (Still working on that growing up thing.)  I was actually looking for a “first toy” to get The Dude, but didn’t find anything that struck my fancy.  There was, however, a huge Star Wars section right up front that pulled me in by its tractor beam, and amongst the fairly cool offerings, I saw about three of these:

Stormtroopers are cool.  I get why, even though they are murdering foot soldiers, people want to own their toys and dress up like them.   But this toy is a bit too weird for me.  “Hey kids, now you too can question, torture and burn the Lars family alive!”  Not that we ever saw this scene play out on screen, but we know the end result:

You can just hear Owen telling Beru to get back in the house.  Shiver!
