If Lynch Gets To Talk About Trek…

I was starting to look for toys for my son for Christmas and browsing action figures at Amazon when I came across some Star Wars stuff I thought was interesting.

I’m aware that Star Wars has a million different characters offshoot books, but I’m really impressed/frightened with how deep the merchandising goes.

Check this out; it’s General Grievous from that abysmal third prequel, except that it’s not. It’s apparently what the guy looked like before he became mostly robot and got that nagging cough:

I have to admit some curiosity about the character’s origins, but this seems a bit of a reach for me.

Then there’s this Boba Fett, not as he appeared in the movies, but in his very first appearance on the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special:

Now these two, I might actually be interested in owning. They’re action figures based on the original Ralph McQuarrie art for the movies:

Neat huh?

I’ve got a cartoon in the big 400 Richest People issue of Forbes! (Here’s the cartoon.)

Cooler still, I’m on the cover. See me?

No? Look closer…

Forbes400-2

OK, so that’s not really me per se, but I am in the 400 Richest People issue and my last name is on the cover; allow me the fantasy for a while.
