Star Wars Vintage Anakin Skywalker

Anakin Skywalker came from humble origins. He spent the first years of his life on Tatooine as a slave along with his mother. Skywalker later met a Jedi by the name of Qui-Gon Jinn. After obtaining his freedom, Jinn took Skywalker and departed from Tatooine, though they had to leave Shmi Skywalker behind, something her son always resented. Skywalker took part in the Battle of Naboo, destroying the Droid Control Station despite his young age. Soon after, he joined the Jedi Order, becoming a Padawan to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Skywalker was believed to be the Chosen One of Jedi prophecy, one who would bring balance to The Force by destroying the Sith, which was why the Jedi Council chose to bend the Jedi Code and permit his training.

Star Wars Vintage Greedo

Greedo is the subject of a lot of controversy to Star Wars fans. In the original theatrical version, Han Solo shot Greedo under the table in the cantina. For the reissue in 1997, George Lucas rewrite it so that Han shot only in reatialition, angering mnay of the movie purists. If you've seen the shirt "Han shot first," you now know what it means.

Greedo is not a member of Jabba the Hut's entourage, but when we meet him, he is on a mission for Jabba, so I've classified him in this group.

Star Wars Vintage Die Cast Toys

Many vehicles were also available in miniature diecast models. I always preferred the larger playset-type vehicles, but that's the great thing about collecting Star Wars Vintage Toys: there's no wrong way to collect!

There are quite a few rebel leaders, including Jab Dodonna, Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar, and Carlist Rieekan, but the rebel leader action is a generic figure most closely resembling Carlist Rieekan.
