Well this is a little bit different. Today’s entry into Hasbro’s Force Friday Countdown Calendar (moving toward the September 4th release of toys from J.J. Abrams’ STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS) features the 2008 Legacy Collection version of Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi – but we’re not talking about Sir Alec Guinness, the exploits of that “crazy old wizard,” or even the adventures of a young Kenobi in the days prior to his hiding out near The Dune Sea. No, today’s entry is dedicated to Producer Gary Kurtz, who was born back in 1940. The producer of both STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, Kurtz also has the producer’s cap for a related film that I’ve had some involvement with over the years… Patrick Read Johnson’s 5-25-77.
Keep your browser pointed toward THE ROCK FATHER as we continue the #ForceFridayCountdown en route to #ForceFriday, the day that new Hasbro toys for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS arrive at retail! 39 Days to Go!
