R.I.P. Erik Bauersfeld, Vioce of Star Wars? Admiral Ackbar

He does probably have on of the top twenty if not top ten most quoted lines of the series


On the star wars thing, I think the liberal media already made a stink about this
but I actually am annoyed that there are soo few Rey action figure's and toys in general
My daughter is a huge fan of Rey and out of almost an entire isle of Star wars crap…1 rey action figure and it was like $15.  (I guess that's the going rate these days)

I did find in the attic my original star wars figures and she loves Yoda, Han and R2D2.  I even have the Luke and obi wan with the retractable saber
I remember having to mail a check to get those and wait for like a month to get them
different times
Its a toy.  From a movie.  That sucked.  The end.  Kids are spoiled, anyway.  The end, again.
I have the Rey and Kylo Ren Pop Funkos, so far.
I will buy the special edition target version,  though.  When it comes to star,wars . . . I will own what I hate.

can't really see a 6yr old having fun with a pop funkos
while they are cool, but really for adults
they are just for sitting on the shelf, not 'playing star wars'
Took me a while to find the Rey with BB8 package for my wife, but she held my Sphero BB8 hostage until I did so I had a little extra motivation.

I'm pretty sure I got it from Amazon.

I know what's up with that…only available on the resale market?

i could play with them if I was a kid… It's called using your imagination.
Any news on Rogue One? Surprised we're in April and don't have a teaser or anything.

"Imagination"? Is that an app?
Yeah…. yeah…. I saw that…. lol

I wouldn't put it past them to "leak" this "poster" to keep the hype drummed up as Force Awakens comes out for sale.

No, no it's not.  Playing with a block of wood and a lump of beeswax, that's imagination.  Playing with plastic toys from a movies does not require any creative thought.
These are Pop Funkos:

To Sidehatch, because of lack of articulation with these figures, that kids would not have fun playing with them.  I disagreed and said that was not true, you can play with these if you used your imagination.

for the record…my kids often use beeswax and color (not using coloring books)

but I don't know that making up scenes with the action figures doesn't require any creative thought
There were no horses, maganatiles or giant wood blocks in the star wars movies….but in her's there are

and I guess if given no alternative …the pop funkos could be used
but they were purley designed to sit on the shelf (or in their cube) of an adult who likes anime stuff…period
