Yoda Fights Darth Maul for Some Brisk

Yes. Before you read any further, the answer to your question is a certain, emphatic Yes, George Lucas has sold out…again. This time the murderer of childhood nostalgia has re-joined the evil forces of Pepsi-Co for a new marketing campaign coinciding with the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.
