STAEDTLER^® and Star Wars

To look like Obi-Wan or Anakin for just once in their life is a dream that many fans actually fulfil for themselves by meticulously copying the original costumes.

Even the smallest of details has got to be just right - this also applies to the Jedi food capsules.

On internet fan sites like www.padawansguide.com/capsules.shtml it is exactly described how to
copy the Jedi belt clip-on.

What's more, its main component is a German brand product, the cap of a STAEDTLER liquid point.

'We were quite surprised ourselves when fans told us that we were involved in Star Wars like this,' explained Alexander Stier, head of the international marketing department.

'Indeed, our latest liquid point is even better for fans as it already has the typical silver food capsule colouring - just like in the film.'

Obviously, true Star Wars fans want to get as close to the original as possible.
There are precise instructions to be had on how to make the perfect Jedi accessory.

For example, the internet site http://public.fotki.com/Kait/star_wars/tutorials/jedi_food_capsule/ gives step-by-step instructions on how, with the help of a little modelling clay and paint, the amazing transformation from pen to intergalactic energy bar can be made.

STAEDTLER is not worried about the growing demand for the liquid point:
'There are enough of them in the market to keep all Jedi knights in good supply,' said Alexander Stier.
