Muppet Star Wars Figures Coming

Pigs (and frogs) in spaaaace!

Greetings! We here at Muppet Labs have discovered a new way to separate money from your wallet. Using an advanced stimulus-response mechanism called "the Force" and combining it with marketing techniques and a dash of paprika to create the ultimate in licensing tie-ins! My assistant, Beaker, will demonstra-- no, no, Beaker, be careful with that lightsaber!

Speaking of stimulus-response, we'll also be using mice to create versions of these action figures, along with ducks and dogs.

We anticipate great success. This continues with our earlier experiments in turning Muppets into human beings, as witnessed by the transformation of myself, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, into a correspondent and resident expert for The Daily Show...

Now I'd go to see a muppet Star Wars movie. I always thought that Ms. Piggy would have made a better Yoda, though.

Better than Mel Brooks?

Somewhere around the Internets, there used to be a Muppet PSA showing other Muppets auditioning for the part of Yoda-- Fozzie Bear, Kermit, Pepe the Prawn, etc. I was looking for it but couldn't find it, alas... anyone know where it is?

No, but I'll look.
