208. A "Star War" In 1975? Talking Star Wars Miniatures, Milestones And Meetups With Ron Salvatore!

Were the rumors true? Did the maker of a gaming miniatures figurine line originally own the rights to the Star Wars name? What is “Star War 2250,” and how did it premiere two years before George Lucas released his first Star Wars film in 1977? What is it like to celebrate 30 years of the most comprehensive and groundbreaking Star Wars collectors site? And what is it like to bring new information about beloved Star Wars action figures, prototypes and memorabilia to a community of collectors? Join host David Quinn for part two of a new collectors conversation series, as he chats with collector Ron Salvatore. Go deeper into previously unexplored topics, as Ron shares insights and information from the articles he’s written for the website The Star Wars Collectors Archive over the past year. Ron and David also discuss the exciting collector events they’ve attended together, and the ways in which meetups can profoundly impact friendships within the Star Wars community. This is a worthwhile continuation of a wonderful conversation. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
