Star Wars

Did you know that back in 1999 when Star Wars "Phantom Menace" came out I went out and bought every single kind of toy/collector's item/gadget related to the movie? It's true! I got 'em out in my garage...on pegboards...unopened...mint condition...now as to the worth of them I have no idea since they aren't considered "rare" yet...emphasis being on "yet"...but hopefully they will someday.



I have never seen one of these on eBay! Or in the store! I stumbled across this on Starwars.com back in 1999 when the "Phantom Menace" movie came out. Paid $60 for it. Wonder what it's worth now. Hmm...



Anakin: "Well...here we are...together again..."

Obi-Wan: "Yes...yes...this is nice..."

Yoda: "A friggin' GameBoy anyone bring? Hmm?"



How is it this kid aged 15 years between movies? he must have used...The Force...



The truth is...R2D2 is single-handedly responsible for the defeat of the Empire and subsequent success of the Jedi Rebellion. Who was out there fixing X-wing fighters? Spying on Jabba and Darth and Bobo Fett? Plus...that huge net that everyone got stuck in in "Return Of The Jedi" thanks to Chewbacca? Who used their li'l saw and got 'em out of THAT? Everyone salute R2!! Now!!



Hey look! It's Walter Mathau all packaged up!!



You know...wherever this guy came from...everyone looks like that. Do the horns get bigger as they age? Smaller? Was he an ink addict? Sure could swing a mean lightsaber though.



(customer walks into "Darth Vader's Death Star 'O' Chicken")

Darth: "What is thy bidding my master?"

Customer: "Um...what do you recommend?"

Darth: "I hear the dark side of the chicken is superb."

Customer: "Um...that's okay...I'll have the "Emperor's Special!"

Darth: "Coming up" (into microphone) "ONE EMPEROR'S SPECIAL"

(teenage employee comes to the front)

Employee: "Um...sir...we're out of Emperor's Specials"

(employee begins choking to death under 'The Force')

Darth: "You have failed me for the last time."



How'd ya like to have THIS hiding behind your bushes at night! Then...when someone tries to break in...they roll out...put up their shield...and just start firing at them! Aiming away from the house of course. Property taxes are nothing to be taken lightly.
