I have to agree with Matt, the “storm trooper’s” armor looks just like armor you could get on KotOR. Nice!!!

I am kindof…wow. I dont have much to say on this matter as it is so weird and unfamiliar!

Star Wars knock-off merchandise makes my stomach churn.

Maybe in the Knockoffverse the characters were part of a documentary film crew and that’s why they have cameras. Their version of Star Wars chronicles their efforts to shoot, edit and distribute a searingly honest tell-all portrait of life in the Rebel Alliance.

I know this is absolutely ridiculous unless wormholes in time really do exist, but don’t some of those chest decals remind you of KotoR armors?

Interesting.

These look really familiar. I think I had one or two of them!

Cool storm trooper… it IS a storm trooper, right?

In the Power of the Force series after Return of the Jedi, Kenner released a version of Artoo with a pop-up lightsaber – no doubt inspired by this Astro-Quack.

They wouldn’t have been inspired by Battlestar Galactica — not in 1978.
