I'm kind of a font addict, so I love this print by Scribble on Everything over at Felt and Wire Shop (click on the picture to see the whole thing, enlarged). Poor Comic Sans just can't catch a break, can it? Also cool: the Periodic Table of Typefaces.

The frontier aspect was also important. There are planets run essentially by criminal cartels, like Tatooine, because the Empire was unraveling at the seams. Such uncontrolled areas are the breeding ground for revolution.
Make a movie or sell toys? Post-cinema marketing is everything today, and so characters and extras are made to be easily translated into a line of action figures. The movie becomes a vehicle for selling stuff to kids, and is diminished. It is a gigantic product placement.
It also works this way for making money, so it's not likely to end.
