I've got these crazy figures I got from "Star Tours" in Disney world in like 1994.  A chewie, vader, and two Stormtroopers

they are rubbery and can't move at all, they just stand up with their hands down.  The chewie is an off light brown, and the stromtroopes have gray paint on the top of their helmets from the eyes up.

The have an LFL copyright for 1990 too. I've NEVER seen them other than the ones I have

$5.24 is a pretty good price I think.  I remember the 1995 start  Wal-Mart had them at $4.76, heh.

then they went up to like $5.25. Most bitter I was about that. I think that's what spurred them to start with the stupid slides and comtech junk.  I like the idea of having a free battle droid with each figure!

Some many Legos so little money

Wow, I need to get back into the comics, I started Empire and some of Republic, but I'm way behind.

At least I have most of the first years of DH comics.  up through like 2000.  X-wing is my favorite series...oh tales of the Jedi is up there too

I'm fine with a character just being, but they have action taking place elsewhere that when you start RotS you are supposed to know.

Like Windu crushing the General's chest in Clone Wars.  If you didn't see that, the General's behavior in the movie is odd. All the gasping and coughing like he can't stand up...then blam he's all the sudden healthy and vigorous.

I wished they'd explained more definitely about Syfo Dius and Tyrannus and how that worked.  I know they let you know Dooku is Tyrannus in AotC.

Leaving things open ended from the moive for the EU to take up is fine, I don't think they should do it backwards.


As to Topps and their incessant evilness, Yeah I've got like 8 sets I'll never complete thanks to case chase cards.  I didn't even know they existed till years later.  It just isn't fun anymore.  No fun of the hunt as they just keep blind siding you with extras.

I noticed comments about how RotS relies on other sources to rely information that just accepted in the movie.  I completely agree. 

they never provide needed details about Greivous, Syfo Dius, or Lord Tyrannus.  They just are there and you should know about it already.

It is one thing to bring in EU elements to the movies, as long as they aren't just dropped in like a white elephant, but to rely on EU to explain things in the movies is just bad.

I'm reminded of the NJO books and how they made a couple of ebooks for it, that is then just accepted as having been known in the next real book.  Sure I hate ebooks, but I don't want to have to search around in other media and product types to find information.


Think about the trading cards too.  you can't be a completist anymore, cuz they hide promo/special/bonus cards all over the place.  In toys, games, books, mazagines.  Even Box and Case chase cards.  When they issues TWO sets of Special Edition cards (same cards with different borders) that's when I gave up collecting cards.

They just keep squeezing the turnip (us) for more cash. =(

Oh I'd love a combination of Rebellion and Force commander, with the improvements.

Rebellion was great having 'tactics' for the space battles would be neat, but I'm not sure how they'd go about that.

Force Commander stunk do to the interface, it is difficult to play and the 3D camera movement can be a pain

I'm so glad I never got into collecting the CCG sets, too much effort.

I don't think I'll ever complete my Galaxy Series 1-3 either.  Alas
