• 7-Eleven R2, Darth Maul Utensils, and Lightsaber Popsicle Sticks

      A month ago, StarWars.com reported on several Star Wars: Episode I 3D promotions being launched in Japan and they have posted even more goodies.

Star Wars-themed gift cards can also be purchased with the points, as can the 7-Eleven exclusive “Home Star R2-711” — an 8-inch Artoo unit deco’ed in 7-Eleven’s signature green, red and orange colors (it even projects stars on the ceiling!).
