Star Wars Joins Forces With Scalextric

Just when we thought George Lucas couldn’t bastardise the franchise any further comes the announcement that Scalextric and Star Wars are to join forces.

What pisses me off the most about this is that despite the fact I deride Lucas and hate what the man has done to and with the most beloved of my childhood franchises, I BLOODY WANT ONE OF THESE SETS!

Ugh.

This from the Scalextric website:

Scalextric Joins Forces with Star Wars

The incredible partnership of Scalextric and Star Wars will take place in 2012; combining to become a most powerful Force.

With set products suitable from four years old to adult; Scalextric Star Wars products are expected to fly off the shelves!
