Cathy Veness is a Kenner and Star Wars toy legend.

She worked on the 3.75” and 12” action figure lines, on characters like Yoda, Leia, and Han Solo.  And George Lucas paid her the highest compliment a toy designer could receive for her work on the Ewoks plush line.  

A master of soft goods design, she helped create some of the most iconic pieces that Star Wars fans loved as children and collect today.

And Cathy brought her unique perspective and power to innovate to many of the biggest toy companies during her 50-year career in the industry.  She helped Kenner, Tyco, Playmates, Toy Biz and others successfully expand their reach in highly competitive markets.  

Join host David Quinn for an inspiring and insightful conversation with Cathy, as she recounts highlights from her career, including some of the most amazing Star Wars stories toy collectors will love!

170. Live From ECHO BASE LIVE: The UK's Largest Star Wars-Centric Convention!

The year’s biggest Star Wars event is coming to the Peach State.

In a year without a Star Wars Celebration convention, the Georgia Alliance of Star Wars Collectors (GASWC) is busy creating a vintage and modern collector’s dream event.  

During the May 4th weekend, more than 150 passionate Star Wars collectors will travel to Kennesaw, Georgia for three days of panels, activities, meals, collection tours and the unforgettable moments only an event like this could deliver.  

And the weekend’s room sales event may be the best one in years, with collectors bringing some of the rarest and previously unseen prototypes and production items.

Join host David Quinn as he sits down with Georgia Alliance members Narayan S. Naik, Jason Wasulko and Glen Williams, for a behind-the-scenes look at the Rogue Fun weekend.

In this two-part series, the Georgia team will explain the origins of the event, as well as what to expect for the weekend’s itinerary, and why it takes a community (and a few former Kenner and Nelvana employees) to build something as special as Rogue Fun.

This is the weekend where collecting and the community collide in Georgia.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

For children of the 1970s and 80s, the Sears Wish Book was the portal to the latest exciting Kenner Star Wars toy releases.

Georgia collector Jerry Hancock, known in collector groups as Ki-Adi Randy, is an expert on the history of Sears, as well as the retail company’s relationship to the Star Wars franchise.  

And during the May 4th weekend, Jerry shared that history with more than 150 passionate Star Wars collectors at the Rogue Fun collectors weekend in Kennesaw, Georgia.  

He kicked off the panel portion of the main event with an incredible presentation titled: “Santa Shopped There; Star Wars and the Golden Age of the Sears Wish Book.”

Join host David Quinn for a new five-week series that focuses on the fascinating presentations from the Rogue Fun event and brings the full panels to you!

This is the impact of an annual Wish Book on a generation of fans.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
