AS MANY OF YOU KNOW AND WERE THERE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELVES, WHEN THE SPACE THAT USED TO BE "Q-ZAR"- THE LAZER TAG SPOT INSIDE THE FALLBROOK MALL BECAME AVAILABLE -IT BECAME THE NEW HOME FOR COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. THIS HUMONGOUS SPACE WAS NOT ONLY ABLE TO FIT ALL OF THE 100 STAFF MEMBERS AND POKEZOIDS, BUT-FINALLY GAVE US ENOUGH ROOM TO PUT UP SOME OF OUR BEST DISPLAYS INCLUDING THE SPEEDER BIKE SCENE FROM "RETURN OF THE JEDI"

SO I REALLY WANTED TO GET A "FOREST FEEL" FOR THIS SCENE AND ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS WAS ABLE TO HUNT DOWN THESE PIECES OF WOOD THAT MADE FOR THE PERFECT SETTING FOR WHAT WE WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH. YOU CAN THANK GENTA FOR THE AMAZING PICS AS HE WAS ABLE TO MANUEVER TO CATCH THESE GREAT ANGLES.


NOBODY DID IT LIKE US RIGHT? I LOVED RE-CREATING THE ICONIC SCENES-YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR THE LASERS AND DEFLECTIONS.

MEANWHILE LEIA IS HOLDIN HER OWN.... ALSO I HAD PAUL PAINT THE BACKGROUND TO MIMMICK THE SPEED OF THE SPEEDER BIKES TO GIVE THE ILLUSION OF THE SPEEDER BIKES FLYING AT HIGH SPEEDS.




AND I HAD TO PUT IN THE ICONIC SCENE THAT WOULD GIVE THE DISPLAY ITS "WOW FACTOR"....THE CRASH AND BURN.


AND THAT'S HOW IT WENT DOWN.
