One thing which I’ve always liked about that ad, especially as it was in a SW comic, is the text which basically encourages kids to make their “own continuation” of the SW saga. I’ve seen a lot of SW toy ads that try to sell the ability to recreate scenes from the movies, but here the focus is on letting the kids tell their own “EU” type of stories. I’m too young to have experienced the Kenner era of SW, but that’s definitely what I did with my SW Lego in the late 90’s.

Also, I’ve had this comic since I was like 11-12 years old, and I’ve never spotted the strings on the X-Wing and Vader’s TIE until now.
