Remembering Vintage Star Wars: An Interview with Skye Paine & Stephen Danley of The Star Wars Collector’s Archive: The Chive Cast

Any child of the 70’s or 80’s must remember toy aisles filled with Star Wars.

Fortunately, one huge difference between SDCC and PCC is that there aren’t the same time commitments regarding lines. That being said, it is easy to miss some great panels, so here are a few I spotted for you that might otherwise get lost in the glitz of some of the larger ballroom offerings: Continue reading
