While looking up some vintage Star Wars toys online, I came across
THIS interesting
web page about Kenner's efforts to revive their wavering Star Wars line after ROTJ. They called this project: STAR WARS IS FOREVER.
Basically, Kenner decided to make a toy sequel of sorts to the orginal Star Wars trilogy. After the death of the Emperor, a new villian, Atha Prime,
would be unleashed on the galaxy. Meanwhile, Grand Moff Tarkin, having escaped from the original Death Star's destruction(!) gathers the reminant
forces of the Empire to fight against the new Republic.
While this all sounded very ambitious, the Star Wars Forever line never made it past the presentation stages. However, some of the vehicles proposed
were produced under the Power of the Jedi Line.
For you toy collectors and Star Wars fans, check it out!
