Comments on: Desperately seeking 'Star Wars' at the Toy Fair

It's the 30th anniversary of the original Star Wars. So why aren't there more related toys at this massive convention?

Not that I care either way. The original was groundbreaking for the time, but the saga as a whole and the recent trilogy was underwhelming in my opinion - high on effects, but pitifully vacant on plot and dialog. My 7 year old girl likes them though...; Like this Reply to this comment
