It is a novelty watch, and a Quartz at that, so I don't want to sit here and pick it apart as it really doesn't matter. The cutoff numeral drives me nuts, but what is also odd to me is the 100 Meter placement up underneath the logo. Nothing specifically wrong with it but not sure I've seen that done before. Towards 3:00 or certainly 6:00 just feels more normal for me. Then again it is modelled, at least to a marketing degree, after a science fiction movie so I'm not sure any of the typical WIS type standards are fair to apply.
Me, I'll hold out for the Indiana Jones version

I'm pretty sure there are quartz 'novelty' watches that are attractive enough. My main gripe with this is the tiny date window growing on the oversized 6 numeral like a disease. And its distance from the bezel.

It is the way of the emperor to spell it that way.
Maybe the rebel alliance will be more European

Most of you guys know this, but Seiko did a nice job with their Brightz Star Wars LE a few years ago. While the logo on the dial killed it for me I liked the C-3PO model:

A guy over on another forum is building a Star Wars watch I might actually be interested in.
Those Nixons are so overpriced...

Not to mention that $375 for a quartz novelty watch is rather a lot. You can go get a Seiko helmet chrono for that much, that's plenty Star Wars-y.
