Classic Space and Star Wars have two distinct looks. I think the only real

mix. Pippin Reed could play a leading lady, and Professor Kilroy already
looks like Indy’s father.

But wait - since the old Adventurers and upcoming Indy line share so many
similarities, wouldn’t it make more sense to only have one and not both?
Besides, despite the two distinct looks of Classic Space and Star Wars, it was
generally assumed that part of the SW licensing deal was to NOT have Classic
Space at the same time.
