Star Wars Action News - Episode 104
[Pete | 08/22/07] |
Got Dice? That seemed to be the question last weekend at GenCon Indianapolis. Arnie and Marjorie encounter Marjorie coming to face her fear of irregular, non-cubic dice. In addition they recount what little Star Wars was actually at the convention, and little is right as Arnie drooled over some of Wizards of the Coast's new Star Wars Miniatures. We also discuss the recent widespread toy recall, look at the newest Star Wars items being found in the stores, and recall a more innocent time, 2004, when the first Star Wars Original Trilogy DVDs were released. You can download this week's show from http://www.swactionnews.coms or directly from http://www.swactionnews.com/Podcasts/Enhanced/SWAN104.MP3

Most
Star Wars fans look back at 2002 and think of Attack of the Clones. Some think first
of Star Wars Celebration 2, the first Star Wars con held in Indianapolis, IN. Marjorie
and Arnie think about their Star Wars Wedding, held four days before the opening
of Attack of the Clones, and the purchases that ensued. They recall this heady time
of fandom by looking at a new era of collecting that was ushered in along with a
million soldiers all wearing Temura Morrison's face.
