221. The Story Of The 2024 ROGUE FUN Weekend: The Star Wars Collectors Trip Of A Lifetime Begins!

Rogue Fun’s first full day was a Star Wars collector’s dream.

Together, 200 fans and collectors traveled to Kennesaw, Georgia in May of 2024 to attend a once-in-a-lifetime weekend centering around Star Wars and its amazing community.  

Join host David Quinn for an in-depth look at day two of the ROGUE FUN weekend.  

Follow your fellow Star Wars fans as they hike the Kennesaw Mountain, check out the original Muppets at Atlanta’s Center for Puppetry Arts museum, visit the Georgia Aquarium, and stop at local toy and comic shops along the way.

Later that evening, head to a special mixer at Georgia collector Narayan Naik’s home, to tour one of the best and most extensive Star Wars collections in the world.  

And in addition to focusing on Boba Fett, Luke Jedi and Yoda, the collection showcases the greatest Kenner and Hasbro toys, prototypes and production items, carded and loose figure variants, and hundreds of customs and swag pieces.  

And return to the host hotel for a late-night impromptu Star Wars prototypes sale in the lobby, offering some truly rare and desirable pre-production items that you won’t find anywhere else!

Featuring live moments and stories from Hannah Bennett, Sam Bennett, Dave Brott, Josie Eclipse, Chris Georgoulias, Stu Kesilman, Doug Meyer, Vincent Michael, Narayan S. Naik, Ki-Adi Randy, Mattias Rendahl, Joel Slater, Jason Smith, Tim Theall, Jason Wasulko, Shannon Wasulko, Glen Williams and more!

#395 Citizen Star

Darth Vader actor David Prowse spoiled The Empire Strikes Back’s biggest surprise, two years before the film premiered in theaters.  

So why was he just as shocked as the rest of the audience to hear his character utter those five iconic words on opening night?

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, join host David Quinn as he revisits the story of how Star Wars’ greatest twist remained a secret known to only a handful of people during the making of the film.  

Learn how the twist was devised, who knew about it, and how it became one of the all-time moments in one of the best films in cinema history.  

And find out why some Star Wars fans were discussing the twist at length as far back as 1978!  

This is truly an epic, wild tale you’ll have to hear to believe.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

''YOU HAVE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME'' - STARKILLER x solaR_eclipse

The main event is finally here.  And it’s the pinnacle of one of the greatest Star Wars collectors weekends ever.

In May of 2024, 200 collectors traveled to Kennesaw, Georgia for Rogue Fun, a multi-day Star Wars trip centering on collecting and connecting.

And on Saturday, May the Fourth, the Georgia Alliance hosted a 7-hour ballroom event, featuring dinner, room sales and five incredible Star Wars-themed panel presentations.  

The panels covered the history of Star Wars and the Sears holiday catalogs, two legendary action figure customizers, the artist who introduced Boba Fett to the world in 1978, and Steve Sansweet and the authors of two of the most iconic books about collectibles. 

And the presentations ended with a wildly funny and insightful chat with two former Kenner creatives who worked on the Kenner line and helped design some of the most beloved Star Wars figures and playsets.

The evening concluded with every collector’s dream: an epic room sales event in the ballroom.  From Kenner to Hasbro, and from prototypes and production pieces, the event had enough Star Wars items for sale to fill an entire store!

Join host David Quinn for an in-depth look at day three of the memorable Rogue Fun weekend.  

Featuring live moments and stories from Star Wars fans and collectors Rich Alot, Howard Bollinger, Lewis Brown, John Celestri, Tim Effler, Matt Fox, Jerry Hancock, Josie Harmon, Paul Harrison, Don Henderson, Erik Janniche, Bruce Lieberman, Jonathan McElwain, Doug Meyer, Maggie Moore, Shawn Moynihan, Narayan S. Naik, Steven J. Sansweet, Barry Scott, Ryan Shaw, Jason Smith, Tim Theall, Mike Tricomi, Vinny Tricomi, Jason Wasulko, Shannon Wasulko, Gary Ray Weaver, Glen Williams and many more!

This is the magic of the Star Wars collecting community at its peak.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

Why is The Maryland Toy Expo one of the best toy shows on the east coast for Star Wars collectors?

The summer toy show season kicked off in a major way, with a June trip to the town of Timonium for The Maryland Toy Expo.

Join host David Quinn for part one of The Maryland Toy Expo experience, as he explores the show during the Friday afternoon vendor setup.
