While watching the news this morning I saw this Nissan ad: Then, for breakfast, I noticed the sticker on the bananas:  At least it leads to a promotion site where you can enter to win something: www.doleliving.com/en/promotion/the Rules: www.doleliving.com/en/rules/ and the part that gives me hope but makes me sad too (because usually it is for Canada ,except Québec): " For Quebec Residents. Any litigation respecting the conduct or organization of a publicity contest may be submitted to the Réggie des alcools des courses et des jeux for a ruling. Any litigation respecting the awarding of a prize may be submitted to the Régie only for the purpose of helping the parties reach a settlement. " But overall, while I understand Star Wars is a popular franchise, somehow I find it ridiculous how every company tries to get their share or the hype. |

It's nowhere near as crazy as it was for The Force Awakens. That got a little out of hand.

I woke up this morning to find a holographic projection of Luke at the foot of the bed telling me to see this film and not underestimate his power so yeah, I would say the marketing is getting out of hand.

Between promotions and merchandising this (like all Star Wars movies) will make money without selling a single ticket.

I saw a box of cereal promoting the film, and the chance to win one of 3000 Star Wars prizes.

I got the feeling that somebody is going to try and save one of those bags of oranges to sell on eBay in 2037  |

I love promotions and merchandising. Hollywood doesn't do enough of it these days.

Yes. Especially when Disney is trying to get people hyped up for what they know are going to be terrible Star Wars films as a whole.
