When Sci-Fi influences Star Wars Toys

To those who have ever read or watched any 'making of' or 'behind the scenes' content,  its common knowledge that George Lucas, and all others who have had the chance to play in George's sandbox, did not create Star Wars in a vacuum.  Star Wars instead is rooted in many things.  From mythology to religion, from history to science fiction many aspects of humankind's stories and creations played a key factor in making Star Wars the primary mythology to come out of the 20th century.

Darth Vader Action Figures + Butts = SNL

Star Wars action figures just show up in strangest of places!  Louis CK's most recent hosting of Saturday Night Live came with a most unexpected appearance of our favorite Dark Lord of the Sith from The Saga Collection. Entitled "Darth Vader Action Figure", this digital short is odd to say the least, but had a few good lines, like our favorite, "I'm a lady, but there could be a General Grievous!" You can check it out for yourself at NBC.com and if you get inspired to watch more figures on screen this Spring Break, make sure to check out our ever growing Star Wars action figure filmography "Lights! Camera! Action (Figures)!" And remember, "It's better to know."
