The whole "this box isn't for boys, it's for true Star Wars fans" argument is arrogant and petty, and should be shelved right now.Spoiler: show
But I think that's how we should address it from now on: not "true Star Wars fans vs Casual Star Wars fans", but "Star Wars fans vs Star Wars TOY Fans". And the toy fans should understand the movie fans' frustration/confusion, while the movie fans should see where the toy fans are coming from and maybe have fun learning another piece of Star Wars history. Everybody wins!

Put it in boiling water to make it pliable so you can straighten it, then in cold water to make it set.
