Other Influences
Carrie Fisher's "Princess Leia Pez dispenser" is one of the noted "merchandising horrors" that "clearly left a mark -- a scar really" on the actress.
These candy dispensers are featured prominently in the 2010 Emmy Award-winning fan film, Star Wars Uncut.
Star Wars Pez has a gateway drug-like effect for some young collectors. One fan of Pez dispensers started her huge hoarde with Star Wars figurines at the age of three. Another fan calls Pez dispensers generally "a 'gateway drug' to hardcore collecting". Pezheads shopping for new dispensers frequently place "Star Wars" first on their shopping lists.

Famous quotes containing the word influences:
“I don’t believe in villains or heroes, only in right or wrong ways that individuals are taken, not by choice, but by necessity or by certain still uncomprehended influences in themselves, their circumstances and their antecedents.”
—Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
“Without looking, then, to those extraordinary social influences which are now acting in precisely this direction, but only at what is inevitably doing around us, I think we must regard the land as a commanding and increasing power on the citizen, the sanative and Americanizing influence, which promises to disclose new virtues for ages to come.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
