    I was trying to poke fun at the expensive price quoted on that site - he's never been worth what they seem to think ;)

    A two foot tall Amanaman sounds like a good plan!

    How come you never see bespin twin car pilot 1 at comic conventions? If I was TK-421 I would be at every convention signing toys and movies and stuff. Sorry, between the signed Boba Fett and the Twin Car Pilot I thought that would be a good question.

    That IS a good question. But the answer might be that it was probably some forgotten builder just pulled on screen as an extra. And he is now passing a comfortable life with only occasional thoughts of an afternoon's work in '79. I think a lot of people, at least for Star Wars, might have been pulled in to the project by mere chance (did anyone follow the story of the original armor creator? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12910683). It would be great to hear some of the stories of all these people who played roles. By Jedi of course it was a different story, as the marketing machine was in full force, though this still worked out well for Warwick Davis :)

    I think you got a book idea there UltraKaiju, you could call it an afternoon's work, the carpenter's story of Star Wars. And just interview a bunch of people that did double duty.

    Mom found the 1977 Kenner board game in the garage and sent it to me. All the pieces still there, I think. Inside the box was my own version of an SW board game that I'd made at the time and had completely forgotten about. I didn't write the rules down so I have no idea how to play the game that I designed all those years ago. :lol:

    Now if only my sister would give up my collection of SW trading cards. She seems to think they were hers. I never fight with sis so I'm not going to argue about it. Not worth it. But maybe I can plant a few seeds of sibling guilt, muhahaha... :twisted:

    I have a Aunt in law, who ran into financial problems, so sold off less than a third of her doubles, and came out with close to 20 grand, her collection fills up a basement, and her husband doesn't get it at all... That said, for a wedding present he bought her a stained glass portrait of R2D2...

    still bummed I let my Mom give a way my old Rancor when I was a kid. Seems to be $20-$25 in most flea market/conventions. Considered re-buying it on numerous occasions.
