'Store Wars: The Organic Rebellion' a k a 'Grocery Store Wars'Play this trailer

In a movie spoof from The Organic Trade Association (OTA) and Free Range Studios ("The Meatrix"), vegetables and other organic foods star as famous "Star Wars" saga characters in a short film promoting healthier eating without pollution and pesticides. Cuke Skywalker, Obi Wan Cannoli, Princess Lettuce, Ham Solo, Chewbroccoli, C3Peanuts, and Tofu D2 take on Lord Tader and The Dark Side of the Farm.

Review:

The OTA promises "all the characters in 'Store Wars' are live-action food puppets -- organic vegetables, fruits, pastries, and a couple canned goods. The only computer effects are the laser blasts and lightsabers. The rest of the action was brought to life with strings, sticks, wires, and trick camera angles." The results are cute and glossy, providing several smiles during the intergalactic parody set "not long ago in a supermarket not so far away."
