For many years it seems that Star Wars licensed Easter items had been
lacking, but this year Target and Toys R Us have combined to rectify that.
More than just the usual dye kit, this year we get two egg dye kits, one
with a kit to make a giant TIE Fighter egg! Plsu easter baskets, easter
buckets, Easer Eggs filled with candy and Jake character art, special Legos,
and more. This week on Star Wars Action News we build the ultimate Star
Wars Easter Basket for a 3 year old and give tips how you could modify this
for kids of all ages.
Also this week, we discuss the Star Wars items you can buy from the King of
Pop himself, Michael Jackson (Jesus Juice not included) and we listen to
your voicemails on new Force Unleashed figures found at Toys R Us, misprints
on Topps Galaxy 4 Series cards, and one listener's recent purchase of a life
sized Star Wars item!
Also, we are still gathering voicemails and recordings of your Episode I
memories. We want to know your favorite memory, funniest story, or just
your experience of buying toys for Episode I or seeing the movie. You can
send MP3s to
show@reviewstarwars.com
or call our voicemail at 415-508-JEDI.
Your story may be played on our 10th anniversary Phantom Menace show.
Finally, on a serious note, on this show we send good thoughts to our friend
and Star Wars author Aaron Allston who had quadruple bypass surgery last
week. You can send well-wishes to Aaron at:

Updates on Aaron's status and information on how you can help donate blood

We at Star Wars Action News wish Aaron the very best. Get well soon!
