The only way I've figured out so far would be to buy the HAS which if I recall correctly bought the "toys" part of the subsidiary rights. The news release was a while ago so I'll see if I can find it. I also remember an analyst saying that they were concerned they paid too much and might not break even if the demand for action figures doesn't repeat. My (video) copy of the special edition has a mark from 20th century fox. I don't know if their public or even if they're going to be doing the video and DVD distribution for the new trilogy though... Are there any other ways to play this? (Other than maybe bootlegging t-shirts and selling them outside the theatres <g>) If Lucas just would do an IPO... -Tony
