Star Bar

Star Bars were a popular variety of confectionary. These took the form of a chocolate-coated bar with a "loose nougat filling", packaged originally with the image of the famous and powerful champion of World Mission, Star Man. In this sense Star Man acted as a brand mascot. The specific financial relationship between Star Bar and Star Man, if there was one, was not expanded upon.

Rebranding of Star Bars

Following the disappearance of Star Man in 2016 during the unfolding events of Grimskull's rise, Star Bar packaging was redesigned. It was seen as poor taste to reprint the image of Star Man when his fate was unknown. This new packaging featured no hero imagery. This fact may have been beneficial for the makers of Star Bar as the formation of Armored Core, the election of President Lyndon Jackson, and his assassination in the State versus Mann court case of 2018 each marked a diminishment in the popularity of classic superhero popularity.

Star Bars were rebranded again in 2025 with the fictional hero 'Captain Star' in a campaign initiative operated out of Armored Core. This was part of the objective to repopularise the Saturday morning cartoon styled hero, with the distinction being that this armour-clad hero did not have superpowers. In this sense Captain Star reflected the ideals of Armored Core.
