Characters from the Star Wars universe were spotted around 42nd Street, promoting Saturday's release of the nine-disc Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-Ray edition. Not everyone was thrilled to encounter Wookies, Ewoks and Stormtroopers: "I really don't have time to deal with these Star Wars characters outside Grand Central," tweeted Kenyon Cory. Captain Kirk shares your pain, Kenyon.
