      Nah, peak Star Wars was during the anticipation for Phantom Menace. For at least a year, you could not escape seeing Star Wars literally everywhere. I remember being a kid and going through all of that. Star Wars toys, Pepsi cans, Pizza Hut toys, etc etc. It was everywhere.

      The 2015 events were big but nothing will ever come close to what it was in 1999. I seriously think Lucas only made that awful movie to sell toys and products, cause they went above and beyond with Phantom Menace stuff. I was just talking about this with a friend a few days ago, who was working at Pizza Hut at the time and brought up the toys, and how people went nuts trying to collect them all.
