Quote from eBay Category Manager, Jim Migdal: "With the May 19th release of Episode III, the final in the Star Wars saga, eBay has seen a boom in Star Wars items. Always a top search term on eBay, this Star Wars release is on track to record more than four times the sales on eBay than the 2002 release of Episode II. According to eBay sellers, General Grievous has proven to be one of the hottest characters."
