Posted on by

It’s a trip to one of our favorite places as this week we’re heading back to the magical land of the STAR WARS QVC SPECIALS!   Listen as we watch a full episode from August 1997, an age when the Special Edition VHS tapes were the hottest things in the world and Shadows of the Empire still cast a Xizor sized shadow over fandom.  Along the way we’re talking Master Replica sabers, life size Vader and the Lucasfilms.  So call before supplies run out, send a fax, listen today and celebrate the love!
