A friend of mine heard a rumor that ILM is making a deal with a wireless telephone company to provide free Star Wars wallpaper and Star Wars ring tones for cell phones in anticipation for the Return of the Sith. Sounds pretty cool and I'm curious what kind of ring tones they might make.

Has anyone heard anything about this???

Yeah, I think it's Cingular, but i don't know anything else...

Star Wars ringtones? Wallpaper? Could it be…? Or is it another stoooopid internet rumor out of control?

Star Wars merchandise? No, it can't be true! Not Star Wars! Star Wars is a cultural epic which is beyond reproach, and they are treating it as if it is some sort of summer blockbuster franchise. Which of course would be a ridiculous paradigm to entertain. Of course.
