Are you talking about this one? I still have mine!

Yeah that kind of thing, most of it is long gone here.

You can always try and find it on Ebay, for hundreds of dollars…probably.

Ah there are plenty for sale for less than 20 bucks, if was I so inclined. Just don’t have the space for all the old merch any more.

The mid 90’s saw some strange ideas come out of Kenner.

At least the old Mini Rigs back in the 80’s looked like something that was just “off camera” in the OT. In Kenner’s defense, they did follow up with more sensible things like a Hoth Rebel soldier with a laser cannon, and the Probe Droid.

Haha so goofy. There was a Boba Fett Deluxe too I remember. At one point I’m sure there was a Han Solo that came with the Falcon turret, but they decided that it needed an action feature so the barrels of the gun itself fired out for some reason.

Did you know it took 12 years to make?

Yes. I actually think that that was one of Red Letter Media’s least funny and most cringe-worthy memes.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I love RLM, but they have a large subset of their fanbase that will parrot every single thing that they say as though it is 100% fact. It isn’t RLM’s fault, but it’s something that I can’t stand about its fanbase.

Their fan base made it cringeworthy like everything in a youtube comments section. But the whole thing was just another one of their reactions based on people saying how dare they not like something, so in a way it’s perfect.

Pretty simple really.

I’m still fuzzy on the whole good bad thing Egon.

Magic crystals are fantasy which is good, but if they’re in Star Wars it becomes sci-fi which is bad, but this is about wizards which are good, but magic crystals make magic laser beams and swords work so that’s bad, even though they don’t obey the laws of physics which is fantasy, so this is good? Although it’s just an extension of mystical amulets? And in the end this is kind of irrelevant to anything in the narrative anyway? It’s almost like this is just some kind of minor detail that allows for another series of banal complaints over things that don’t really matter or determine movie quality on the whole.

I can sit and watch TFA but it’s a huge mess in terms of basic script elements. One TIE Fighter destroys all the turbo lasers on a capital ship? It had like two or three? Someone had to be told to use missiles? Would they have forgotten they were there if the order wasn’t given? It’s hilariously hair brained for most of the running time.
