0:10 - I'd say SDCC has NYCC beat by a few thousand people, as far as "biggest event of the year for toy collectors" is concerned.

3:14 - No, MASK was not the precursor to Transformers. Transformers debuted in 1984, a full year before before MASK debuted in 1985. Get your facts straight or get a dictionary.

6:59 - No, the planet was changed from Kashyyyk to Endor (and Wookies became Ewoks) due to budget and script re-writes, not intentionally to make the series more "family friendly." Lucas himself has said this on numerous interviews.

12:56 - I call BS. He owns the oldest comic shop in Cincinnati and was around when Kenner first made Star Wars figures. He knew enough to call it a "Rocket-Firing Boba Fett" and he has no idea how much it's worth? Yeah, total set-up.

i worked for a very popular reality show for MTV for 3 years as a Story Editor and i can tell you firsthand that the only thing "real" are the people and the paychecks.

everything else is crafted in story meetings w producers and show runners calling the shots.

but... that doesn't take away from the entertainment factor for many people who have no clue how productions are constructed.

in the end, its only entertainment.
