I actually have some R2D2 soap that I bought on a trip to London in 1978. I was nine years old, so that's where my priorities were. All the amazing sites that my mom dragged me to, and what do I buy? Star Wars soap. It's still in the box, too.
There's just something weird about Darth Vader bubble bath. I can almost imagine him in a big tub full of bubbles, just his mask poking out while he talks on a princess phone about who Leia is going to the prom with.
i'm glad i'm not the only one. the first thing i thought of was, "why do i want yoda shampoo? or r2d2 or darth vader? none of those guys wash their [lack of] hair!" now chewbacca shampoo seems more appropriate - that guy probably goes through a bottle every time he bathes (which, arguably, is probably not often).
they probably would have done better with the slave outfit for leia too - teenage boys would have flocked to have her in the shower with them, not to mention the dramatic increase for optometry.
oh and I am soooooooooo remember my cousin getting made at me for actually using the stuff! I wish I hadn't, even though I was young, I should have figured out that Yoda would not be making the best shampoo!
