That's pretty screwed up.
On the other hand, it makes me kind of wonder what Lucasfilm might think about this unlicensed use of Star Wars props and sound effects in the "original" commercial. Parody? Fair Use? No?

(Also, the fact that this is coming out of Rockingham County, North Carolina, is of particular interest to me.)
