The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has a well deserved reputation for the eccentric, from crackpot inventors to Morris Men, funny food to minding your manners, curious customs and odd attire. The world of Star Wars collecting is no exception. From the first collectibles in 1977, to the end of the vintage period in the late 1980s, kids in Britain were treated to a world of weird and wonderful merchandise, officially licensed or otherwise. This panel looks at an assortment of unusual Star Wars memorabilia that was made in Britain, or for the British market, during the vintage period. We’ll be bringing you the best of the quirky, the unusual, and the downright odd, including toys, games and puzzles, stationery and food packaging, toiletries and homewares, magazines and more. Join us for a light hearted, entertaining, and educational panel, delivered by five dedicated collectors who keep up that great British tradition of eccentricity!
