I’d always heard ‘bout it, in a lot of fan publications, but I hadn’t seen it ‘til recently.

Steve Sansweet used to show it at cons in ’96, he reckons, along with the trailer for the Special Editions.

(Even if he didn't have half circles on his hands!.)
The real cool thing about that 2-pack Fett is that he was painted in ESB deco/colours, whereas the first carded POTF2 one was an ROTJ version (basically speaking, as best as could be represented at the time).

That is correct!

I kept it for a long time. But the IG-88 went in the bin! Well, it was gifted to a friend.

The audio book was a cheap buy, and was good thing to finish a week with, but it wasn’t the best production…

On that note, I've got to admit that I never knew Guri was pronounced 'Gory', or that Xizor was 'Zeesh-zor' and 'Cheese-zor' (depending on which character is saying it).

No *censored*, I feel like I've lost two decades by not knowing this.

But, hey, the narrator kept mentioning 'Chorus-carnt'… politicians, huh?

Yeow!

Nice spotting, Kristy!

And, yes, I'm getting that (since it is cheaper than what is listed on Amazon and eBay, no less).

A bizarre read, which is all over the place, but it's cool to see Shadows being talked 'bout...

I saw this floating around too, and based on the title experienced a brief spark of excitement...but the whole premise underlying their opening paragraph is unfounded, leading to a somewhat confused conclusion.

Considering the official news that did come out of Celebration, it seems strange they'd make up headlines about something so insignificant, which isn't actually factual... but, hey, it's the 'Net!

It's great how they got Mark Hamill to do the voiceover work on those Kenner commercials.
