'Star Wars' Infomercials Advertise to a Galaxy Far, Far Away

We know what you're thinking — Jedi Warriors and Ewoks don't have time to watch QVC and order Ginsu Steak Knives and Snuggies. But you're wrong. Even Sith Lords can benefit from an infomercial or two.

YouTuber TheGamerChick imagines what advertisers would sell in the Star Wars world. Everyone in a galaxy far, far away is gearing up their credit cards for light saber bread cutters, carbonite laundry machines and lawyers for those injured in Rebel attacks.

And yes, even on the Death Star, they offer the "Call right now and we'll double your order" deal. (Or as Yoda puts it, "Double your order, we will.")
