When Star Wars landed in the theaters, it introduced audiences to a
galaxy filled with heroes and villains, robots and space ships, and a
dizzying variety of alien life. But when the lights came up, they all
disappeared... Unless you had all the toys. In which case, the adventure
never had to end. Like no toys before them, Star Wars toys were a
phenomenon that swept the nation, transforming both the toy and movie
industries, and ultimately creating a hobby that, 30 years later, still
holds sway over its fans. PLASTIC GALAXY: THE STORY OF STAR WARS TOYS is
a documentary that explores the groundbreaking and breathtaking world
of Star Wars toys. Through interviews with former Kenner employees,
experts, authors, and collectors, it looks at the toys’ history, their
influence, and the fond and fervent feelings they elicit today. The DVD
also includes more than 40 minutes of extras! Tiny Toys, Giant Disaster:
