Celebration Orlando Swag – Part 2

With Star Wars Celebration Orlando now just two weeks away, its time to announce our next piece of swag. Our "Kylo Ran Lives" button and its purposeful misspelling will be immediately understandable for long-time and/or vintage Star Wars collectors.  The button is a tribute to Twentieth Century Fox's "Darth Vadar Lives" button which was produced following the massive success of Star Wars in 1977 in included the accidental misspelling of "Vader" which was never corrected.
