I fell into the hype in '95 at age 9 when the "One Last Time" Faces boxset was to be released. I'd already seen enough parodies (Muppet Babies, anyone?) and had been indoctrinated through pop culture to know vaguely what it was about. I knew who Luke and R2-D2 and Yoda and Darth Vader, etc. were, even though I didn't know of the Luke/Vader relationship. I awoke on Christmas morning to find the movie boxset and my couch covered in a neat line of the new Kenner action figures: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, R2-D2, C-3PO, and Chewbacca. I never looked back.
