I have a memory of a show that was on tv, maybe it was a special, and it was about Chewbacca, and he lived in the forest and lived with a bunch of Bigfoot, or Bigfeet??? I think it was set on earth or an earth like place, it was not a cartoon, but live action......am I on crack or was this real? I think it was in the very early 80's maybe late 70's?
: ...since the old one is basically dead...
: Alright, I'm honestly curious, what's so great about this guy? I remember wanting the figure as a kid just because he had a bitchin' backpack/rocketpack, which was totally a first with the SW figures...I recall being devastated when I found out the little plastic red rocket wouldn't actually fire...
: But why is this guy considered so "cool"?!? I remember seeing the old SW Holiday Special and being scarred for life...and as such, I basically laughed when I recognized Fett when I saw "Jedi" in the theaters as a four-year-old, because he was just a shmuck from THE crappiest SW tie-in, EVER...and he hangs around, says nothing, and gets eaten. Boom. The end. My life went on happily for almost 15 years until suddenly all these "special editions" start popping up with more Boba Fett...doing absolutely nothing. What the hell?!? What am I missing? He's a guy with a giant plastic head whose name is THIS close to being "Bubba" who ends up being eaten by what's essentially a giant vagina...
