Our next spotlight is on Fruit Snacks made for the prequels. For Episode I, Farley's made fruit flavored snacks in a variety of shapes and flavors. These came in a colorful box with embossed artwork. The snacks and logos were all embossed in both sides of the box, showing a surprising level of quality for such a simple product.

Farley's also produced Mega-Duals, which were larger gummy snacks featuring two flavors merged together, and Galactic Watermelon Glitter Rolls, which were similar to Fruit By the Foot. I have no idea how they glittered or why you would want to eat edible glitter. These other snacks came in similar packaging featuring Anakin and Jar Jar Binks, respectively.

For Revenge of the Sith, Kellogg's made Star Wars fruit snacks, very similar to the Clone Wars snacks available on the market today. These came in a bright orange package, featuring Darth Vader on one side, and C-3PO and R2-D2 on the other. There are two packages for Revenge of the Sith . The original, seen here, was available after the movie release. A later version advertises the DVD release of the movie, has a different image of Vader, with Anakin on the other side.
