    Meet Darth Vader and "Chewbakka"

    "Characteristic Representation" means that Darth Vader will sound like the stock boy and "Chewbakka" will likely look like this:



    Oh well, we were kids and didn't notice things like Chewbakka was a left over Planet of the Apes costume.....

          Chewbakka's photo in that ad looks to come from the famous Patterson Bigfoot film.

          Maybe Chewbakka is Chewbacca's 2nd cousin, twice removed?

          Could be worse, could be some of his family from the Holiday Special. Ugh.

            Man how could they screw that up? I was thinking maybe it was done on purpose for legal reasons but Darth is spelled correct

              When I was a kid I went to see a Darth Vader appearance at a local electronics store called Apple Tree. I can't remember the year, but it would have been the late 70's, or maybe very early 80's. I remember his cheap WHITE lightsaber and that he was wearing a Darth Vader Star Wars pin/badge on his uniform. I still have the promo card which is signed to me. I have been meaning to scan it for ages, but don't currently have a working scanner. One of these days. I think there may exist a photo of me with him, but hard to say what ever happened to it, or if it still exists.
