Gus Lopez made this site! The only reason other than porn to have the internet in the 90s.

https://theswca.com/

The most important section is the collection of vintage figures, prototypes and bootlegs:

He's a super collector...like a poor man's Steve Sansweet, j/k. He also owns the original Death Star, probably one of the most significant piece in a private collectors hands. Also, he puts together collector events for the Star Wars Celebrations too...Star Tots ring a bell? I think he co-authored a book or two as well.

His Death Star display:

I'm ashamed of you all... He's considered the 2nd biggest SW collector in the world, but he may actually have more film props than Sansweet...

Holy ****! Gus Lopez owns one of the matte paintings using behind the AT-AT shots. Wow!

Well. That's a screaming endorsement to go on Ken's next big field trip. Is Gus one of the guys we were considering visiting?

That's just stunning.

From what I've heard that in order to get the movie made Brooks had to agree to NEVER license anything from the film including the figures.

Well. That's a screaming endorsement to go on Ken's next big field trip. Is Gus one of the guys we were considering visiting?

That's just stunning.

From what I've seen, Gus' collection is in his whole house. I highly doubt he'd just let a traveling band of misfits into his home.

I have finally procured myself a vintage B-Wing pilot blaster. My last need of replacing my R2 is, thankfully, going to be much easier than hunting down that blaster.

Good to hear man! Sorry I've been so flakey on getting ahold of that one dealer for ya.

No worries man. The fact you took the time was helpful in itself. However, if you happen to come across a vintage R2 (solid chrome top) with a vintage sticker in good shape, let me know. My current one has a replacement sticker, so this is my final piece in the hunt.

No. Although I know Gus, I don't know him that well. I'm working on that! Duncan Jenkins, who co-wrote all of the books with Gus, is the one I know. He also has an impressive collection with many film props and things that would give us instant stiffies. His entire house is Star Wars as well. His wife, Anne, also loves Star Wars, which helps immensely. She makes awesome SW jewelry that she gives away at every Celebration. I would love to be Gus or Duncan! But I'll just settle for visiting their awesome collections...
