Star Wars predition (serious this time) 

@Shrigglepuss maybe, yeah, but there's something of a limit on how much you can do that before selling space nazi-inspired pyjamas to toddlers

Star Wars predition (serious this time) 

@Shrigglepuss I'm not sure that comes into it

They're fine with marketing a bunch of First Order stuff which is basically space nazis
