    197. Is Disney BAD At Star Wars? Exploring The Controversial Article Analyzing The Franchise!
    Oct 14 2024
    Continuing the momentum of a powerhouse franchise like Star Wars or Marvel is not easy. In October of 2023, Disney spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, acknowledging the issues the company faced with its Marvel films and series, and what it planned to do to correct them to get Marvel back on track. And while Star Wars fans have wished for something similar - more direct communication and a clearer road map of the future - Disney and Lucasfilm have been largely silent. Instead, The Hollywood Reporter’s James Hibberd has taken that audit into his own hands. This month, he wrote an article assessing the health of the franchise according to the performance of its films, series, merchandise and experiences. And his findings may surprise you. In it, Hibberd asks a key question that many want to know: Is Disney bad at Star Wars? Join host David Quinn for an in-depth look at Hibberd’s article, going beyond the author’s takes and providing the insight a longtime Star Wars fan and collector can offer. How did the films and series actually perform with audiences and at the box office? Has the company delivered on its initial plans and promises? Is Star Wars heading in the right direction? Is the fanbase losing hope? 
And what does all of this mean for fans and collectors? This is the analysis you need, about the franchise you love. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

    195. Retro Con Returns: Is It The Best Toy Show For Star Wars Collectibles On The East Coast?
    Sep 9 2024
    Is Retro Con the best toy show on the east coast? A number of toy fans certainly think so, and with good reason. The Pennsylvania event offers so much for collectors and attendees of all ages. Across more than 67,000 square feet of toy show space, it contains more than 300 booths filled with vintage and modern toys, with a number of the dealers saving their best items for Retro Con. And over the past decade, collectors have had some incredible Star Wars finds at the show. Will that wonderful streak continue this year? Join host David Quinn as he travels to Oaks, Pennsylvania for a return to Retro Con. Hear from collectors about what the show is like, what they picked up, and why you need to be there next year. If you’re looking for carded and loose Kenner figures, sealed mailers, a plethora of Tri-logo items, graded Black Series and Vintage Collection pieces and all of the ephemera from the past three Star Wars trilogies, you’ll find them at Retro Con. This is why toy trip weekends are special. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
