Star Wars fans are up in arms about a pair of pajamas that feature the Death Star and a lightsaber-wielding Darth Vader surrounded by pink hearts.
Dr. Jennifer Gunter, a Canadian obstetrician and gynecologist, tweeted her outrage over the Star Wars-themed pajamas she came across in the women’s section of Target on Monday.
‘These #StarWars pajamas for women are pure f**kery. A Death Star is designed to kill millions. The superlaser doesn’t f**king blow hearts,’ she wrote.

The Star Wars fans were equally befuddled as to why Darth Vader was surrounded by hearts.
‘Oh that Darth Vader, he is just misunderstood and like totally dreamy!’ Helena Jidborg Alexander wrote.
‘Is the laser a rainbow instead?’ KellyAnn Palin asked.
Some people questioned if the pajamas were real, while others pointed out that the cutesy PJs completely miss the point of what the Star Wars franchise is about.
However, not everyone hated them.
‘They’re so weird I actually want them though…’ Serena Newman commented.
