STAR WARS EPISODE I (1999-2000)
​The early 2000s brought forth a thrilling new wave of Star Wars films that transported fans back to the beginning of the saga. Hasbro seized the moment, unleashing a barrage of must-have toys that let kids re-enact the epic battles and adventures onscreen. With excitement at a fever pitch, Hasbro's designers dreamed up all kinds of galactic goodies that sadly never saw the light of day. But for a glorious time, toy store shelves sagged under the weight of a new Star Wars toy renaissance, delighting fans young and old.
