This is pure speculation. Games of “connect-the-dots” are fun, but can also lead to massive disappointment. I thought I had sniffed out that a new Stormtrooper was coming during the first run of the Vintage Collection and was crushed when we learned it was a repack / retool of the VOTC figure.

The anticipation was better than the payoff. As we approach the 20th anniversary of the release of Episode I, here are my recollections of that time.
Very sad news today, as it has been reported that Actor Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca, has died at the age of 74.
