Did you wake up faithfully on Saturday mornings to watch the Ewoks and Droids cartoons and hope beyond hope that THIS episode would be the one to have Luke Skywalker in it? Did you continue to scour the pegs for Star Wars figures even though they were few and far between? Well there wasn't a whole lot of Star Wars in 1986, but there was in Brazil! This week Arnie and Marjorie look at the singular most expensive Star Wars figure, Vlix from Glasslight's Brazillian Droids line.

Jacob tells us a little bit about what goes into the making of the Star Wars audio books, as well as giving us some information of the books new release on iTunes. To make matters even better, he has given us a coupon to allow all Star Wars Action News listeners to receive a free digital audio book, the audio book for the first volume in the Legacy of the Force series, Betrayal by Aaron Allston.

This was an item Arnie had toyed with keeping or trading off, and he finally opened it up to give it a close look. Did it earn a final place in the Sithsonian? Also, Arnie and Marjorie reflect back on 1988. Star Wars was 11 years old, and 11 is an awkward age for many things. Adolescence is nearing, youth is behind it. Star Wars endured this awkward period as well, and there was not much to show for it. Sure, behind the scenes Timothy Zahn was preparing to write Heir to the Empire and bring Star Wars back to the mainstream, but to the average person Star Wars was no where to be found...except on the screen of your Amiga or Commodore 64 computer. The Star Wars Action News hosts resurrect a "classic" video game from that period and see if it holds up with age.

New books were being written, new comics being planned, video games being coded. But to the average person Star Wars was fairly nonexistent, a memory of a movie over a decade old. We had moved on to bigger Sci Fi movies like Total Recall. However in the gaming stores across America, West End Games continued to sell new product. In 1989 and 1990 its newest entry was the Star Wars Miniatures game, a game that could be played in conjunction with the Star Wars RPG or played alone. Arnie and Marjorie recently bought this game and sat down to play. Listen to this week's show to find out what they think of the state of Star Wars in 1990. Also this week Arnie and Marjorie look at Sideshow's Premium Format Boba Fett. In the Star Wars Action News Forums there has been some debate on this item. This item is completely sold out at Sideshow, although some Wait List orders may still be activated. Should you head over and try to get one, or wait and see what the secondary market does? The Star Wars Action News hosts discuss. Finally, after much hinting and teasing, the Star Wars Action News team has partnered with Jedi Temple Archives to throw a party at Star Wars Celebration 4!
