Hi there. I always enjoy watching your videos, always informative viewing.
Nice work on restoring that Snow Speeder & are you still planning on doing a video about Kenner's Centurions toy?

Hey Thundershot!
Yes, the Centurions video is being written and researched right now! My buddy, Joe, who's in the Transformers videos we did as well as the BMX restoration (still ongoing) has a massive Centurions collection!
I promise that video will land this year!
Great profile pic, BTW!

Many thanks,
Now you've covered Droids everybody will be asking you about the Ewoks cartoon
I'm very much looking forward to seeing your take on the Centurions, personally I love the toys.
You know, I often wonder if the pale blue (Tri-Logo?) Boba Fett figure was originally intended to be the (Droids) cartoon version of the character... somehow the colours seem to blend in nicely with the other (animation style) character figures from that line.

Great video Michael, enjoyed watching it very much. Thanks for investing all the energy and research needed to make it!
Good spot, that a few elements from the Prequels were possible derived from the Droids series. General Grievous' Wheel Bike indeed has a striking resemblance to one of the vehicles in the Droids series. From which episode?
The A-Wing is my favourite toy which was released in the Droids line, but there is another.....

Ditto...
Still one of my favorites is:
Star Wars: Don't Eat the Yellow Lightsaber
I even remember my father trying to dye my Luke farmboy sabers blue. They never were perfect, but they were better than yellow!
Great stuff! cheers and thanks!

I didn't know Stuart Copeland was responsible for the Droids theme music, I should of guessed from the closing credits music:
I still think his theme for The Equalizer is fantastic:
