“I wasn’t going to screw around with that one,” Mundell said. Now an adult, Mundell still follows the franchise and adds to his collection of figures by looking through local stores and at events like the Inland Northwest Toy Show Classic in Spokane Valley.Īmong his most noteworthy finds? Stumbling upon a set of figures of Max Rebo, Sy Snootles and Droopy McCool, aka the Max Rebo Band, from “Return of the Jedi” (the original version, mind you, not the 1997 special edition of the movie) at a toy store in Everett. He played with “Star Wars” toys and played the franchise’s video games with friends as a child, and as a teen, his interests grew to include “Star Wars” novels.Īll the while, Mundell saw each of the subsequent movies that made up the original trilogy and, beginning in 1999, the prequel trilogy.
“Everything was pretty much downhill from there,” he said with a laugh.Īfter that initial encounter, “Star Wars,” in its many forms, followed Mundell as he grew up.
He was in diapers when “Star Wars,” later subtitled “A New Hope,” hit theaters, but with the release of sequel “The Empire Strikes Back” in 1980, the first film had been re-released and Mundell saw both movies in theaters. It all started when Warren Mundell was 5 years old.
