We're keeping the Tomocast ball rolling and presenting to all of you Star Wars!

The storied franchise has influenced the last several generations all around the world and just about anybody with any sort of nerd cred has an opinion on the space adventure. Lucky for us, I've got community manager Kristina Pino and contributors Crystal White and Chris Pranger to help me wax nostalgia about the movies and their sweet toys!

As per the usual, we'd like all of you to send us your questions. So, ask away and gain limited internet fame/notoriety!

[REMINDER! We record tonight and best question gets a prize!]

Yes another tomocast!!!!!

We all know your hate for the non-existent episodes 1-3, but what do you guys think about The Clone Wars on cartoon network?
Also have any of you accidentally bent your wookie?
What a coincidence, I participated in a Star Wars marathon yesterday!
Not sure why everybody gets all up in arms over the new trilogy. Only the first one was out-and-out terrible, the other two were comparable to Return of the Jedi (which, in itself was inferior to A New Hope which, in turn, was inferior to Empire Strikes Back).

Kinda surprised that there's going to be a podcast about this at all, considering none of the staffers really talk about collecting SW figures anyway (I mean, how big are you SW collections anyway? lol) and, at times, people here have mistaken IG-88's back-end for his front XD

At any rate, I really regret passing on the Target-exclusive ESB stuff like the AT-ST repack (which, honestly, was a bargain). I'm also curious if anybody on the site actually picked up the AT-AT. I somewhat regret not picking it up when Target had their $20 off coupon, but the thing is so massive that it'd be near impossible to store.
Oh, right, and who's your favorite bounty hunter not named Boba, Jango, or IG-88? =p

Bossk.
If you could have a giant playset of any scene depicted in the movies (it could be a certain terrain, a whole section of a city, maybe even a frigate that opens up) what would it be? I know I'd probably want that sinkhole on Utapau, perhaps Petranaki Arena, and of course that battle on Hoth.
I used to have every SW figure back in the day. My Mom bought me a few figures for my B-day way back when and forgot where she put them. When we were moving we found them in the garage rafters (lol), so now I have a bunch of boxed mint figures. :) I watched all of SW on Spike this weekend in HD. Fantastic.
What do you think of the recent outpouring of dedicated, professional level of fan rage recently poured out against the prequels, between Red Letter Media's reviews and The People v. Gorge Lucas?
Since I know some of you are gamers: Knights of the Old Republic, great series, or the greatest series?
Damn, and now there's a prize? I have to think up a prize-winning question... On this I will reflect muchly and not simply ask what everybody finds sexiest about Jabba the Hutt...
Here's a deep cut on an old conspiracy of mine... I think Obi Wan Kenobi wasn't alive during the movie A New Hope and was always a spirit in the Force, which is why he poofed when Vader sliced him. What do you think?

Why would Amadala fall in love with Anakin after he admits to genocide?

Why do the new Star Wars games suck?
Pedro, Kristina, Crysta, or Chris...one of you has to attend a convention dressed as Slave Leia. Put it to a vote! Who is the "winner"?
Back when I was a child, I loved (and still do) the star wars movies. I can remember watching the VHS copies I had over and over, untill the point where I could act out the scenes with my legos or action figures. I used to get together with my friend and our collections of legos and acting out what went on scene by scene. This little story brings me to two points, one: as a kid, I had too much time. Two: Do you have any "magical" star wars toy memories?
Alright... I think I've got some serious questions here:

Do you feel that George Lucas should still be left in charge of the Star Wars properties given his questionable choices over the past two decades and decision to not create the proposed third trilogy? Is there any point where a franchise's creator should be asked to step back so somebody else can carry on the legacy?

Also, Star Wars toys have generally been around the 4" scale for the past three decades or so. Do you feel that these lines would be as (or more) successful in 6" or is it only viable as 4" or smaller given that they have to scale to vehicles/ships?
