The Planet Alderaan

The Planet Alderaan

It’s just a box of rocks…. yes, it’s the Planet Alderaan. Post-destruction, the play value of this toy was somewhat diminished.

Recreate the moisture farm massacre - Luke's aunt and uncle* killed by imperial stormtroopers all over again!!

Dead Ewok

Dead Ewok

We saw this poor wee creature mercilessly gunned down by Imperial Troops in Return of the Jedi. In a moving scene, his furry buddy tries to revive him, but alas, he has bitten the dust of Endor’s moon.

Even in death, Ewoks represent a lucrative opportunity to sell playthings to Earthling younglings. Or perhaps not.

The Force

The Force

It’s not an empty box. The force is an invisible energy, it surrounds us and binds the galaxy together.

So stop whingeing. It’s not an empty box, it’s the FORCE™, all right?? [Ed. Note: Kenner is now selling this same action figure in The Lost line of toys as “The Smoke Monster”]
