Panel Overview

A collecting presentation on Star Wars food-related merchandise and promotions. The panel covered a vast and difficult collecting category that includes candy, cereal, cookies, chips, fast food promotions, beverages, dairy items, frozen foods, peanut butter, cheese, waffles, condiments and regional food tie-ins from many countries. Because food packaging often had a short lifespan and was discarded quickly, surviving examples can be difficult to find, especially outside major markets. The presenters used the topic to show how deeply Star Wars licensing reached into everyday consumer products and how complicated international food collecting can become.
