Some fun with Kenner's Star Wars figures!

1930's bad guy!

A retro looking bad guy; what I imagine a Darth Vader-type character looking like in Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe!

Ootini!

X-Wing Fighter!

Luke prepares to do battle! (Scene recreation from the Kenner Box)

Star Wars Marvel Special Editons!

Read the heck out of these in the late seventies!

What a desolate place this is!

The Original Star Wars-on Laserdisc!

 The original on laser disc!

 "Star Wars".  No "Episode IV", No "A New Hope".  Star Wars.  The film didn't have "Episode IV" attached to the crawl until the 1981 re-release.  Even after that, the first film was still referred to as "Star Wars" until the Special Editions came out in '97.  That's when the DVDs had "Episode..." on the case spines.  Then, when the prequels came out, the first three began being referred  to by their episode numbers.

 Chapter notes for ESB.

 The commentary tracks on the laser discs are great-much better than the later dvd audio tracks.  However, when no one is speaking, there is silence; unlike their dvd counterparts which replaces the audio with the actual soundtrack during the commentary lulls.  The discussion of the effects during the end battle on Star Wars is great!

 The player.  Pretty hefty! Thanks Dave McDowell!

 The laaaaaarge discs.  Star Wars alone is three, two sided discs.

 One of my favorite shots...excised from the Special Edition.

 More cut shots.

The player in the studio.

Next on order, the original version of THX-1138!

Love Howard Chaykin's art for Star Wars #1!  This is the only issue he inked himself, and it's my favorite (although i must admit 10 year old Rory Cobb didnt appreciate it.  Today, Love It!!)

Your powers are weak, old man!

Kenner's 12" Vader looking out into the studio!

Now I am the master!

Kenner's Darth Vader action figure!

Kenner Star Wars!!

The Imperial Cruiser, more commonly known as the Star Destroyer, from Kenner's Die Cast line.  It still has the Rebel Blockade Runner tucked tightly in it's landing bay!

Star Wars Sketchbook!

Love Joe Johnton's artwork in this; one of the early Star Wars behind-the-scenes books!

Here they come!

Here's my Kenner Die Cast Star Wars TIE Fighter!

Star Wars!!

Love my Star Wars Storybook from 1979! Lots of great stills from the movie; one of the best ways to relive the film for kids in the late 70's. I read it dozens of times!

Obi-Wan Kenobi? Obi-Wan.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time. This is a cool figure from Kenner's 12" line.  This actually belongs to my brother, but lives in my collection currently!

Human-Cyborg relations!

Love my Kenner 12" C-3PO; purchased in 1979!

Chewie!

Will somebody get this big, walking carpet outta my way?
