Mr. Potato Head
Movie Tie-Ins
In conjunction with the release of the 3rd Star Wars prequel, Hasbro released what was to become one of the most popular Spuds to date...Darth Tater. This Star wars themed figure is appreciated by Potato Head fans and Star Wars fans alike. It inspired several licensed items like pins, keychains, and shirts. There's even a video on the internet of people skydiving while assembling a Darth Tater!

After the release of the Spud Trooper, no one knew at the time if Hasbro would continue making Star Wars themed Potato Heads. There were certainly plenty of characters still left to do.
