Petco Is Also Celebrating Force Friday; Check out Mouse Han Solo in Carbonite!
 |
Did you know Petco had their own Midnight Madness last night? Yes, even your cats and dogs can enjoy Star Wars fandom (you imagine, as you laugh at things they have no idea about beyond “fuzzy” and “must catch”).
While we can – and I’m sure many will – debate the merits of turning the first major female Star Wars movie villain, Captain Phasma, into something for dogs to chew on, the real highlight is Han Solo in carbonite…as a mouse (mercifully not the Disney kind). Cats actually have a lot they can relate to here – like Han blindly sending Boba Fett to his doom, cats are REALLY good at obliviously knocking things into destruction.
