Force fact:
This was one of Kenner’s larger toy releases and the big toy of 1982. However this was one of the few disappointing sellers of the line.  It was not re-released in a ROTJ box as the ESB ones were still on the shelves during Return of the Jedi. I found some still on Toys R’ Us shelves in 1988!
