1997 was one of the best years to be a Star Wars fan. With the Special Edition trilogy hitting theaters and the prequels still on the horizon, there was just so much to do — and to look forward to!
At the peak of Frito-Lay’s partnership with our beloved franchise, specially marked bags of Lay’s potato chips gave us the chance to catch Obi-Wan Kenobi’s ghost.
“The Spirit of Obi-Wan” still ranks as one of the most famous toys from the “Power of the Force 2” era, which began in 1995 and marked the long-awaited return of Star Wars action figures to toy stores. Available for $1.99 and two proofs-of-purchase from Lay’s, this blue beauty was only obtainable by mail
There was history, here. The original Kenner action figure line — the one that began in 1978 — was famous for its mail-away offers.
POTATO CHIPS + $1.99 + TWO PROOFS OF PURCHASE = AN ACTION FIGURE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE.
