Finally got around to watching the pilot. Can't say I'm impressed, though.

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.
