While Gothamist doesn't think we'll be seeing Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith during the first weekend (as a friend put it, Hayden Christensen looked more like a date rapist than brooding Jedi), we're totally excited about the Darth Tater toy. It's a Mr. Potato Head with Darth Vader accessories. An Amazon reviewer writes:
A couple of choice lines from the packaging: "Together we shall rule as father & spud!" + "As a Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Tater was once a promising young Jedi who lost his roots!"Now we totally want to be Darth Tater for Halloween!
The Darth Tater on Amazon; it's not for sale yet, but a ton of Star Wars-related merchandise goes on sale tomorrow. There are some midnight events at Toys R Us stores tonight- including the Times Square location.

Rose, maybe you need to lay down... :>)
If you really must get your hands on a Darth Tater, I saw them at the Toys R Us in Times Square a couple weeks ago.
And I'm with Gothamist, I won't be seeing the new Stars Wars the opening weekend. The last two have sucked but at this point, I can't not see the final movie. Also, I read in the Hollywood Reporter that Lucas plans to re-issue all six Star Wars movies in 3-D, one per year staring in a couple years. Just what we need... Hayden Christensen's bad acting in 3-D...
Hott, but not as hott as a Darth Dew slurpee!
As a Star Wars geek, I must point out that Darth Tater is for sale. Amazon shipped them last week. In my best Comic Book Guy impersonation: Best Toy Ever.
I, too am a star wars geek and some of these toys offend me. But I guess they can be entertaining. I actually like the Darth Tater idea.
