The thing that makes me feel old is that I remember when I first came across
the GN's.. I was in 1st grade which was like '78/79 I think. oi.
The movie has started and stopped more times than a mass transit bus, sadly.
it would be nice if they could just find someone to do it right and release
it already..

Seige of Blue Mountain was 'ok', but there rest just started getting too
weird for me.. some time travel stuff and other oddities as I recall. As
with you the first 4 GN's are where I prefer to 'end'.. they all live
happily ever after and it's just cool. :)

I think I could do better now with the SW figs/heads/hair and such. When I
revisit them I'll be sure to post pictures.

I think I did Skywise, but he had brown hair... but now with the "old"
ObiWan's grey hair it would at least get the point across better.
Nightfall was indeed a cool character. :)
