I think the reason they don't have Darth Vader or Yoda on the tongues of the production versions is because Adidas didn't want to pay LucasArts for the copyrights to the characters. Nowhere on the packaging or on the shoe does it say Star Wars. I'm actually quite surprised LucasArts didn't sue for using Star Wars likeness to promote the product, and at the very same time I'm glad that they haven't. But I really feel like Adidas cheaped out on these. Being a Star Wars fan, I was expecting a lot more, especially in terms of quality, like some lace jewelery, extra laces, fatter laces, being an officially licensed Star Wars product, something extra or different. Maybe the Adicolor packs spoiled me.
