Star Wars Cereal Trilogy – Review & Giveaway

In our house, Star Wars is a favorite. The boys haven’t even watched the movies yet but they know all the characters, thanks to some books and their Dad! If something has C-3PO, R2D2, Yoda, or even Darth “Mater” on it, you better believe the boys will think it’s cool!

We actually saw the Star Wars artwork cereal at WalMart first, and J pointed it out excitedly, saying, “Oh LOOK, this cereal is COOL!” I told him we might just get to have that at our house sometime, knowing that ours was on its way for us to review. Sure enough, a couple of days later we had a box waiting for us on the porch!

At first glance you might think this is just regular cereal:

Which in itself would be exciting to the boys! Lucky Charms & Cinnamon Toast Crunch are a special treat for them anyway… but the coolest part occurs when we turn the boxes around:

We’ll definitely be cutting out the backs of these boxes to keep  – how cool is the design? Of course, as any Star Wars fan would know, this art has been released to commemorate STAR WARS The Complete Saga on Blu-ray, which came out in September. This is the first time that the entire saga has been offered in one package. That, along with the quality that Blu-ray provides, makes this exciting for all fans (great gift idea for the holidays)!

Exclusively at Walmart, look for specially marked boxes of Big G cereals, including Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Lucky Charms. Collect all three to create a Star Wars panoramic poster showcasing your favorite characters, like Darth Vadar, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and more.

One lucky reader will win a fun prize pack that includes:

• One box of each of the following cereals to form their own Star Wars panoramic poster:
• Honey Nut Cheerios
• Cinnamon Toast Crunch
• Lucky Charms
• $25 Walmart gift card

This contest is open to all U.S. residents. Entries will be accepted until the end of the day (midnight Central) Monday, October 24.
