I agree, I mean, sure, we can make our own guns that fit the SW universe,
but what about those of us who aren't artistically inclined? I love making
customs, and I've made some cool Blastech DL-44s (ala Han Solo) out of
Adventurer's rifles, from an idea I saw on someones site, but it just
doesn't look the same... And I don't understand why they used the bullhorns,
I mean the old TV camera thingy and blaster pistol from the classic space
sets would have been better (Not GREAT, but better) I bet there are kids out
there going "Mommy, why does my Stormtrooper have a megaphone, and no gun?"
If they could make Colt .45s and Winchester rifles for Wild
West/Adventurers, I don't see why they couldn't make Star Wars weapons, like
they did with the Lightsaber!
Oh well, enough of my ranting...
