Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

I've mentioned this documentary before - I watched it a couple years ago on Tubi - but I just noticed it's available in its entirety on youtube. It's called Plastic Galaxy - The Story of Star Wars Toys.

If you were of the age where you appreciated the original run of Star Wars toys (I got my first Star Wars figures in 1978 when I was 6), I'm pretty sure you will enjoy this:

Thanks for sharing this. I'll take a look in the next little while. I had a lot of SW toys when I was a kid, characters and vehicles.
It's a good little documentary, especially when it gets into Kenner and the whole design and marketing aspect of SW toys, which was really revolutionary at the time. You'll dig it.

I remember the original Han Solo guy didn't really look like him. Somewhere between an ape and a Beatle.
