The Epic Continues
As potential to mine further figures and toys from Star Wars dwindled—even as Marvel kept carrying on its own version of Star Wars’ post-Return of the Jedi continuity in the comics—Kenner made one last hail mary to extend its line of action figures beyond its plans for 1985. That idea formed around The Epic Continues, a presentation made by Kenner designers to Lucasfilm that would’ve created a brand new Star Wars story to build new figures and playsets around, carrying the line over into 1986, and potentially beyond. Scans of a presentation booklet used to sell the idea are all that remains of what could’ve been.
