The potential winner, randomly chosen from those EU collectors who left their comments for her, is the commenter who posted under the name ‘Rotwang’!

Did you whine like a Skywalker?

news — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 02:12:15 +0000

During our recent Spooktacular event, we challenged our Star Wars collectors to give us a call on our pod cast line and ‘Whine like a Skywalker.’ Well, we only had this competition up for about a day and did not really think we could entice all that many people to tussle over Luke Skywalker and Sith Apprentice Anakin 12-inch figures. We had anticipated to announce the winner of this little challenge on Tuesday, October 31st, however, we were pummeled with over 150 callers leaving over three hours of whining, yelling, acting and singing renditions of all sorts of things. We are only half way through the judging procedure, having just survived a ten minute rendition of ‘Whine like a Skywalker – Bohemian Rapsody’ complete with wacky humming, as well as someone acting out an entire section of A New Hope – all characters included. Our mass Sideshow cry is “Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi!” We plead for mercy and patience as we complete the rest of the judging. Please expect the winners to be announced in the next podcast episode along with clips of the winning whines. We will even include the entries we have categorized as “What the hell was that?!” [Learn about the Contest]
