Supermarket Roundabout: Chewbacca's Galaxy

By jwilliams Mar 14, 2007, 5:00p

Our good friends at oosoomdotcom have emailed us with startling pics of the newly announced Tesco Fresh & Easy store at the Galaxy Complex in Hollywood. As you can see, the lower half of the Galaxy is being gutted in preparation for the landing of the Fresh & Easy flagship store.

Chewie's been a closet lover of marmite and bovril, all along. More amazing pics here.
