I certainly loved the movies, but it was the toys that secured my love of Star Wars. Imagine a time where it took several months for a movie to be released on video. The wait between movies was a few years, not just 365 days. So to fill that time, we had to create our own adventures, and the toys were the tools that made that happen.

What I especially love about the idea of toys and imagination is creating. And while I’ve dabbled in customization, I certainly am no expert. Some of my favorite links below deal with people who have created their own things for the Star Wars Galaxy.
