IT'S NOT WISE TO UPSET A WOOKIE! This Sandtrooper got the chance to talk toys with everyone’s favorite furball. What does the first mate of the Falcon have in his playroom? What kind of collectables does he cherish most? Does he have each of his figures and is he out digging through pegs in Wal-Mart like the rest of us? Check it out in the interview below! Just please keep in mind that this interview was this Sandtrooper’s first and was taken writing quite quickly, so quote marks were omitted for reason. Next time I’ll bring a tape recorder!
