• Companion to R2-D2
• Take apart features

Force fact:

The very end of the Kenner Star Wars toy line was released in 1985 with the Droids and Ewoks lines based on the Saturday morning cartoons. Saturday mornings and after school were the primary times for cartoons for the 1970s and 1980s. Lucasfilm tried its hand at this market but fell flat with better results outside the United States than within.

C-3PO was an all new sculpt for the character with the same break apart feature seen in the Removable Limbs C-3PO. All the Droids and Ewoks came with coins like the POTF line.

• Companion to C-3PO
• Clicking head
• Has Pop-Up Lightsaber

Force fact:

Like C-3PO R2-D2 was an all new sculpt for the character with the same feature seen in the POTF version.

• Stormtrooper Blaster

Force fact:

First of the new characters based on the cartoon Thall has the same dark black Stormtrooper Blaster that came with Luke Stormtrooper POTF. All the weapons for this line are re-used from early figures with a few that have unique coloring.

• Zuckuss Rifle

Force fact:

Jord Dusat seemed to be the worst seller of the line as I was still finding them on Kay-Bee shelves in 1988.

• Squid Head Blaster

Force fact:

Kea Moll was the lone female character from the Droids line. She too, in lesser numbers, could be found on shelves years after her release.

• 2-1B Staff

Force fact:

One of the villains of the series, a leader of an underworld gang of thugs. And he has a 2-1B medical staff as a weapon?

• Nothing no weapon at all. What kind of villain has no weapon? Even the Emperor had a cane at least!

Force fact:

The main villain and gang leader who wants to run…the Empire. Yeah, good luck with that. He has no weapon and wears a purple bedspread. Loser!

• Black Stormtrooper Rifle
• Shoulder strap

Force fact:

A lost prince whose memory has been erased. Why did this show not do well with such cliched characters? Cool looking figure though.

• Black REE-YEES Staff

Force fact:

An old fortune hunter or so the back of the card says. He looks like Mario and Luigi’s uncle if you ask me.

• Black IG-88 Long Rifle

Force fact:

Another teenager character but this one is orphaned due to the Clone Wars. A mention of the Clone Wars!

• Stormtrooper Blaster – very likely the Dark Black POTF Luke Stormtrooper version

Force fact:

I assume Boba Fett makes an appearance in the show to justify his inclusion in the line. The figure is exactly the same as it has been since 1979, no known variation.  Toughest figure to find in this line.

• A-Wing Pilot Blaster

Force fact:

Again I assume that for some reason an A-Wing Pilot must have shown up in the show. Wait, maybe he was released to fly the A-Wing Fighter! Another tougher to find figure from the line. No known variations on this figure, it is the same as the POTF release.

• Laser Cannons are adjustable
• Open cockpit by pushing lever forward
• Landing gear automatically lowers when lever is pushed

Force fact:
Two “AA” batteries not included.

The last of the great fighters from ROTJ to be released. Excellent toy that is very movie accurate.

• Rotate Side Gunner to dodge enemy fire
• Opening cockpit and rotating Side Gunner
• Side Gunner detaches for solo raids.

Force fact:

As I have not seen the Droids cartoons I am unsure of the purpose or side for this vehicle. However given that JCPenney calls it the Imperial Side Gunner and the box shows an Imperial Gunner and Stormtrooper flying the vehicle I assume that it is indeed an Imperial Side Gunner. If that is not the case someone please send over the correct information.

• When rear button is activated wings automatically fall and side laser cannons pop out
• Opening cockpit holds pilot

Force fact:

The last of the Kenner Star Wars vehicles comes to odd looking ATL Interceptor. It always looked to me like it was missing the back of the ship or was a escape pod or something. The package on this shows Thall Joben, a B-Wing Pilot and Stormtroopers with the ship so who knows who it belongs to.
