Star Wars Zero Company Faces Backlash After Fans Realize They’ve Been Selling Rebellion Merchandise as "Limited Edition" Since 1977
In a galaxy not so far away, the internet erupted this week as whistleblowers revealed that Star Wars Zero Company—a mysterious conglomerate of bootleg merch dealers and TikTok hypebeasts—has been rebranding old TIE fighter pilot helmets as "vintage collectibles" with price tags higher than the Death Star’s construction budget. The irony? Fans are now debating whether this "new" company is actually a clandestine First Order marketing ploy, seeing as how George Lucas once sold the entire franchise to Disney for a cool $4 billion. Memes of Jar Jar Binks photoshopped onto a counterfeit Millennium Falcon have gone viral, with the hashtag #StarWarsZeroCompany trending alongside clips of Darth Vader angrily shaking a tin can labeled "The Force: Pay Up."
