POTF2 Photo Archives Update: ...And The
Rest
06/17/2004 12:14 AMBecause it's not
all about action figures, today's
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives update features other types of toys in the line. From
the
Role Play
toy versions of blasters and lightsabers to the
Miscellaneous
gallery that has everything from carry cases, Collector Fleet ships,
games, figure makers, Freeze Frames, and those plush Star Wars
Buddies.
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Droids
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Droids
06/01/2004 10:32 AMToday's update to our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives focuses on the various mechanical beings found in the
Star Wars universe...Droids! They come in all shapes and sizes,
performing a variety of functions, and usually make life easier for
their creators. Protocol droids such as
C-3PO are
invaluable when dealing with aliens. Injured lifeforms can always
count on medical droids like
2-1B to speed their
recovery. The
ASP-7
Droid is equipped for menial labor, usually at local spaceports.
The RA-7 series
Death Star
Droid was mostly used for spying missions, along with the small
MSE-6 series "mouse droid." And every pilot needs a good astromech
droid, like
R5-D4, although it's
a good idea to check their motivators.
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Han Solo
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Han Solo
05/18/2004 02:49 PMToday's update to our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives shows the different sides of the captain of the
Millennium Falcon, Han Solo. Whether he's hard at work with his
Smuggler Flight
Pack, negotiating a deal with
Jabba the Hutt,
flirting with
Princess Leia
on Cloud City, or just kicking back in the
Millennium Falcon
CD-ROM Playset, the hard-working Corellian is just shows how busy
the life of a scoundrel can really be.
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Playsets
POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Playsets
06/06/2004 12:32 AMToday's update in our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives features something that we don't see much of these
days: playsets! Complete with action features, projectiles, and
footpegs to hold various 3¾" figures, collectors can re-create scenes
from the Classic Trilogy. Free the princess during the
Detentio
n Block Rescue and swing to freedom in a daring
Death
Star Escape from
A New Hope. When winter comes, head
outside and set up in the snow for a
Hoth Battle
from
The Empire Strikes Back. Take a trip to the woods and
break into the shield generator bunker in an
Endor Attack
from
Return of the Jedi. While not the most movie-accurate,
these playsets do provide an interesting way to display your
collection.

POTF2 Photo Archives Update: Bootlegs
06/18/2004 04:51 AMBefore we finish up our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives series of updates, we open up a new section of
unofficial
Bootleg figures.
Based on the early waves, these figures have bad paint jobs, incorrect
colors, and generic cardbacks. But they do make for a fun addition to
my collection. This gallery is by no means complete, and if the
interest is there, we may add more of these in the future.

from the underworld that can be found lurking the dark corners of
Jabba the Hutt's Palace. The often-drunk
Saelt-Marae
trades information with his allies,
Malakili takes
care of Jabba's pet Rancor, a bodiless
B'omarr Monk
can often be seen wandering through the halls, and torture droids
EV-9D9 and
8D8 can usually be
found perfecting their skills in the lower levels of the dungeon.

Alliance. For space combat missions, nothing beeats the
X-Wing Fighter for
aerial dogfights.
Luke Skywalker's Red
Five X-Wing Fighter has earned a place of honor for delivering the
final blow against the Death Star. But when fighting an atmospheric
battle on cold-weather planets, the
Rebel
Snowspeeder works best, especially when combatting AT-ATs.

06/05/2004 01:14 AMFor today's
Power of the
Force 2 Photo Archives update, we travel back to the desolate
desert world of Tatooine, where getting off the planet is hard, but
getting around on the planet is a little easier with the right
vehicle. For travelling across the Dune Sea, many moisture farmers use
a
Landspeeder.
For short flights through Beggar's Canyon, the young wannabe pilots
often fly a
T-16
Skyhopper, which has controls similar to that of other spacecraft
and is perfect to bullseye womp rats.

Max Rebo
Band with the trio of
Jabba's
Dancers: Rystįll, Greeata, and Lyn Me. After partying with the
bounty hunters, the three femme fatales strike a pose for today's
update. The mighty Hutt loves his scantily-clad dancers so much, he
has one perched upon his throne, keeping company with his pet Kowakian
monkey-lizard.
Oola and Salacious
Crumb are among the first beings seen when visitors come to call.

The
Death
Star Trooper commands death squads of Stormtroopers into battle
against enemy forces. Field promotions are commonplace in the Imperial
navy, such as when
Captain Piett was
promoted to Admiral. Imperial pilots begin their service flying a
TIE Fighter,
but the most skilled among them can become a
Cruisemissile
Trooper in aerial assaults. Such is the life of an Imperial
soldier in service to
Emperor
Palaptine.

06/09/2004 01:13 AMToday's
Power of the

series of toys. After
The Phantom Menace was released, a new
line of figures with Commtech chips from
A New Hope also came
out, featuring updated versions of some classic characters, many of
which have already been spotlighted. A new version of
Princess Leia was
made, who recorded a secret message inside
R2-D2 and
charged him to seek out an old ally. A 2-pack of
Jawa and Gonk
Droid was also released, featuring a pair of updated characters.
The only new character in the line was
Admiral Motti,
who became a believer after he felt the power of the dark side of the
Force.

06/04/2004 12:56 AMWhen the Empire strikes back, it doesn't hold back. Today's
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives update focuses on General Veers' Blizzard Force assault
squad. None can stand against the mighty
Imperial AT-AT
Walker, skillfully piloted by the
AT-AT Driver
team of highly-trained troops. Running Assisting the strike force is
the
Imperial
AT-ST, or Scout Walker, which can cover more ground in half the
time. Locating the rebel scum can be tricky, however, so a deluxe
Probe Droid
is sent out to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, providing
long-range scanning.

Rebo Band

Power of the Force
2 Photo Archives update today features the
Max Rebo Band,
Jabba the Hutt's favorite form of musical entertainment. While the
band started out as a trio, Jabba insisted on "special edition"
additions of more singers, drummers, and dancers. The vocal duties
were shared by
Sy Snootles and Joh
Yowza, with musical accompaniment performed by
Droopy
McCool and Barquin D'an, and a throbbing beat played by
Max Rebo and Doda
Bodonawieedo. The band is not known for punctuality: While today's
picture day was scheduled well in advance,
Rappertunie
showed up early, drummers Umpass-Stay and Ak-Rev were still hung over
from the previous night's gig, and the dancers were rumored to be
entertaining visiting bounty hunters. Since the death of Jabba the
Hutt, the band has had a successful exclusive gig playing at Wal-Marts
across the galaxy.

08/21/2004 04:34 PMToday features a few leftover updates from our
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives series. Not that I forgot them neccessarily, but it
seems that I customized my original
R2-D2 with New
Features and
Chewbacca as
Boushh's Bounty! Oops...so I had to acquire replacements. In
addition, I never got the Target-exclusive
Y-Wing Fighter, but
a friend of mine was able to score one for me, so at last our 3¾"POTF2

up!

Episode I Sneak
Preview toys. Before
The Phantom Menace was released in
theaters, fans got their first look into the
Prequel Trilogy by
way of a pair of action figures. Jedi Master
Mace Windu
was a mail-in exclusive, while the
STAP with Battle
Droid was sold at stores in special packaging. Although the two
characters never met onscreen, fans anxiously awaited the release a
new
Star Wars movie.

06/08/2004 01:29 AMToday's
Power of the

the Sith Lord who held the galaxy in his evil grip. His ruthless
tactics include using an
Interrogation
Droid to find the hidden Rebel Base, spending unlimited hours
training in his
Gunner Station,
or targeting his next prey in the sights of his personal
TIE Fighter.
Any remains of his former life are hidden behind his
Removable
Helmet, which he only takes off while inside his meditation
chambers aboard the
Executor and the
Death Star.

with today's update. As we peek into the
Mos Eisley
Cantina, we quickly spot the surly bartender,
Wuher, who keeps
an eye out for unruly customers. And he's got quite a numer of patrons
to keep an eye on, like these
Cantina
Aliens: the Devaronian spy
Labria, the Moorseerian pilot
Nabrun Leids, and the Snivvian artist
Takeel.

Hutt's employ. The
Skiff
Guards Klaatu, Barada, and Nikto (although technically, this alien
is named
Vizam) watch over the skiffs and sail barge,
protecting the Hutt's valuable property, or perhaps securing a
prisoner about to be thrown into the Great Pit of Carkoon. The
Skrilling
Pote
Snitkin can pilot the skiff, but he has been known to dabble in
exclusive deals from time to time.

05/25/2004 10:20 AMWhile Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley isn't really the kind of place
where everybody knows your name, today's
Power of the Force 2
Photo Archives update should help in identifying some of the local
patrons. The Shistavanen scout
Lak Sivrak, the
Kubasz spy
Garindan and the
Chadra-Fan/Talz team of thieves,
Kabe and
Muftak, would all probably rather remain anonymous.

Final Jedi
Duel, arguably the most emotional lightsaber battle in a
Star
Wars film...so far, anyway. Take away all the scoundrels, droids,
aliens, bounty hunters, space battles, and explosions, and what do you
have? A story about the relationship between a son and his father.
What better day to end the series than today. My father took me to see
my first showing of
Star Wars in 1977, and it has been a part
of my life ever since. Now I'm off to spend the day with my own
children. Happy Father's Day!

Palpatine and his forces. Palpatine's bodyguard, the

Universe - Heir To The Empire
06/10/2004 01:33 AMIt was a time when
Star Wars was long forgotten. The movies had
ended, the comics were cancelled, no toys on the shelves. Then in
1991, a new novel came out that changed all that.
Heir to the
Empire was an instant hit with readers and sparked
Star
Wars interest for a new generation. A
comic book
adaptation was published, and the character designs were used for
the figures in today's
Power of the Force 2

featuring a

wanted to make! As I've been getting luckier with my toy hunts
