Last week we made the joke that there was never a dollar of corporate marketing that George Lucas didn’t like, and now that he’s soldout the Star Wars franchise to Disney it seems the vapid, utterly unnecessary marketing collaborations will only continue to avalanche down the slippery slope of corporate retardedness. Witness the latest: a Star Wars edition Nissan Juke. Unless this thing is armed with a planet destroying superlaser — and isn’t just a striped paintjob outfitted with superfluous badging — then this could arguably be the stupidest automotive idea since the Pontiac Aztek. And do we really need a “teaser” for this? Can’t we really just skip to the commercial? Oh boy, makes us so giddy to see the real thing…
