Arnie / arniec – Creator and co-host

Arnie has been a Star Wars collector since 1978 when he first tried to convince his mother that the cardbacks to his Star Wars figures were items to be saved, not fire kindling. Since that wee age he has been amassing his Star Wars collection, which now occupies a full floor in the house he shares with his wife and co-host Marjorie, and Arnie has been called “one of the world’s biggest Star Wars collectors” by starwars.com. Arnie has hosted collecting panels at Star Wars Celebration IV, Pittsburgh ComicCon 2006-2008, and done a live show on the Kotobukiya stage at San Diego Comic Con International in 2009. Additionally, Arnie hosted collecting panels as well as a panel on the Star Wars Radio Drama at Star Wars Celebration V in 2010.

Marjorie / marjoriec – Creator and co-host

Marjorie first saw Star Wars with her mother in 1977 and has held that love of Star Wars dear throughout her life. She collected Star Wars casually, but when she met Arnie in 2000 she joined him in his collecting and now helps preside over their collection. Marjorie has hosted collecting panels at Star Wars Celebration IV, Pittsburgh ComicCon 2006-2008, and done a live show on the Kotobukiya stage at San Diego Comic Con International in 2009.

Dan / Darth Rockstar – Segment Host, Guest Host

Dan has been a Star Wars collector since the release of the Power of the Force 2 line of action figures in 1995, and found it incredible to find a likeminded community of Star Wars fans online. He has since turned his fandom into his regular role as a Star Wars Action News reporter, as well as host of Star Wars Action News’ Clone Wars spin-off podcast, Republic Forces Radio Network.

Jason / Darth Prime - Staff Writer, Webmaster, Programmer

Jason is very much a behind the scenes work horse for Venganza Media, Inc. While he may prefer a keyboard to a mic, he has been very active in the Star Wars Action News collecting community by moderating the forums, running the annual Sithmas Gift Exchange, and even helped create the covert tribute Episode 201. Jason has had an on-again off-again collecting relationship with Star Wars starting in 1995 with the release of Heir to the Empire. This peaked around 2007 with Celebration IV. Jason has since scaled back his collecting a lot due to economic conditions.

Line Collected: Gentle Giant mini busts, Hallmark Keepsake ornaments, books.

Jerry / Bounty – Segment Host, Vintage Historian, Guest Host

Jerry has been collecting Star Wars and Marvel toys for over 30 years. Now, retro-collecting is his favorite sub-set of the hobby and he brings that passion to podcasting. On Star Wars Action News he hosts the Vintage Viewpoint segment highlighting the great Kenner toys of yesterday as well as guest-hosting the show occasionally. Additionally, Jerry co-hosted a panel on the Star Wars Radio Dramas at Star Wars Celebration V in 2010.
