Getting stuck in a toilet, starting an office fire, and firing blow darts into plastic dolls? Just an average day at Kenner. These are just some of the ridiculously funny and fascinating stories from the final Star Wars-themed panel of the Rogue Fun collectors weekend, held during the May fourth weekend in Kennesaw, Georgia. Former Kenner employees Howard Bollinger and Tim Effler shared tales from their time working together on the Star Wars toy line, with an audience of more than 150 collectors and fans. Learn who added the telescoping lightsaber feature to the early figures, how the design of the Death Star playset came together, and why the Ewoks eventually played an important role in Return of the Jedi. Join host David Quinn for the fifth and final episode of a new five-week series that focuses on the fascinating presentations from the Rogue Fun event and brings the full panels to you! This is how the toys we love were made. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production! *Photos courtesy of Narayan S.
