From IMDB:
In a 2013 television interview (shorty before receiving the AFI Lifetime
Achievement Award), Mel Brooks stated that he personally obtained George
Lucas' full permission to parody any and all things Star Wars-related but,
on one condition, that absolutely no merchandise of any kind be produced
from the film. This is the reason why all Yogurt and the Dinks do is
merchandising (it is also why none of the merchandise seen in the film was
ever mass produced or publicly sold in any way).
