If you grew up during the era of the original Star Wars trilogy, you’re probably more familiar with Kenner’s repro art than you may realize.

From weekly newspaper ads to many of the images on cardbacks, cups, and Star Wars memorabilia, repro art presented the latest toys in an appealing way, enticing both children and parents to “collect them all.”

And for Kenner, repro art standardized how these action figures and assorted items appeared in print across the country.

So, how much do you know about repro?

Join host David Quinn for part one of a new collectors conversation series, as he chats with collector Ron Salvatore.

Dive 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 the essence of collecting and connecting, and why Star Wars resonates with each of us. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
