Getting stuck in a toilet, starting an office fire, and firing blow darts into plastic dolls? Just an average day at Kenner.

These are just some of the ridiculously funny and fascinating stories from the final Star Wars-themed panel of the Rogue Fun collectors weekend, held during the 2024 May fourth weekend in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Former Kenner employees Howard Bollinger and Tim Effler shared tales from their time working together on the Star Wars toy line, with an audience of more than 150 collectors and fans.

Learn who added the telescoping lightsaber feature to the early figures, how the designs of the dianoga creature and the Death Star playset came together, and why the Ewoks eventually played an important role in Return of the Jedi.

Join host David Quinn for a look back at one of the funniest and most enlightening presentations about the world of Star Wars Kenner toys, and the decades-long bond that formed between the two former colleagues who created them!

This is how the toys we love were made. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
