| "Going somewhere, Solo?" (listen to him sam it, HERE!!!) |
And today we shall talk about my favorite Star Wars alien, Greedo. I've always loved Greedo, ever since I saw Star Wars, I immediately connected with Greedo. Maybe it was the way he looked, maybe it was his suspiciously (and somewhat racist) asian sounding voice, or the way he was shot below the table by Han Solo.
When I was probably about six or seven, I was given, a Greedo and Han Solo action figure, I'm not sure which ones, but they had black packaging and they where my favorite toys for like a week, as new toys always seem to be when you're small. I had Greedo for probably like six months, and one day I couldn't find. And I never saw him again.
Around the same time I had this toy Greedo, I had a nightmare involving an alien that looked just like Greedo. In the dream, this Greedo doppelganger came into my room and stole my toy Greedo. And the thing is, no one believed me in my dream, till they found lotion in the toy box, and they said "I guess you're right, aliens love lotion.", I still to this day, don't know how this came into my mind. But the reason this dream was so scary to me at the time (other than the fact that there were alien thieves in my room), was that it was around the time that my Greedo toy went missing.
That's really my history with Greedo, a strange history if I might add, but I still have one little story to tell. For probably, the last year, I've been searching for a new Greedo action figure for my collection. And I finally got one. Recently I went to a local store called Time Bomb, and picked up a Greedo from the 1990's toy line, and he stands, out of package, on my shelf. I'm still looking though, for a better Greedo, I hope to find the one I had when I was kid, but for now I'll probably get the Saga Legends one.
That's it for now, and I hope this was good start for the Halloween Season, so HAPPY SOON-TO-BE HALLOWEEN!!!
