Checklist: Fad Wars

Posted By Justin on April 2, 2009

Bonnie Burton, Pete Vilmur, and Pablo Hidalgo have put together a throwback look at some of the more "interesting" entries in the Star Wars line of merchandise from days long gone.

See the excerpt below:

"While most of us tend to think of the Star Wars saga as timeless, classic, and unyielding to the frivolous whims of pop culture, there have actually been a few notable infractions made on the merchandising front in years past: Remember the van craze of the '70s? Yeah, we've got those. How about those latch-hook rugs from the '80s? Yep, those too. And the '90s pogs? Uh-huh.

To that end, we've scoured the collection of Steve Sansweet to come up with a handful of items that seem to be firmly fixed in the '70s, '80s or '90s, hopelessly trapped by the fads of the era."
