Why does the hat make it look like the Millennium Falcon was peed out of R2's robot body?

In an unsurprising turn of events, none of the merchandise appeals to me, a long-time SW fan. 🤷‍♂️

The merch looks pretty solid. They do know what they are doing when they put their mind and resources to it.

I do agree that the reduction to one day vs. a period (with May 4 being the big day) is a strange choice. Even if it was the two weekends surrounding May 4 (or before/after if it falls on a weekend), you would think you would have better return - especially with the focus of most of their current target audiences.

Still feels incredibly weird they seem willing to throw money down the drain by ignoring May 4th. They're usually all over this sort of thing, why would you put so little effort into something people seem actually willing to spend money on.

It's right after the new season of Andor comes out, throw in a couple of Andor specific pieces of merch, a basic little storm troopers walking in a line through the park parade and you've got a few extra million quid profit every day for the week or two you run it for.

It commemorates the time the Millennium Falcon was an Exogorth's kidney stone.
