Star Wars October 1996 QVC Special: Steve Sansweet and Greg and Tim Hildebrandt

This special aired on October 28th, 1996, and features Star Wars collector extraordinaire Steve Sansweet as co-host, in addition to special guests Greg and Tim Hildebrandt (wonderfully tagged as “Hilderbrandt” by everyone at QVC, apparently), and special call-ins by author Kristine Rusch and artist Dave Dorman, promoting their new books.

Joy to the strange hosting style of Steve Bryant as he segues from lucid fanboyism, to strange sexual references (“she’s kind of like the blow-up doll of the Empire!”) and several cringe-worthy accidental references to “Star Trek” that go uncorrected.

Dave Dorman call-in: 12:18 (promoting Star Wars – The Art of Dave Dorman)
Kristine Rusch call-in: 39:19 (promoting Star Wars – The New Rebellion)
Greg & Tim Hildebrandt: 1:14:22 (promoting Star Wars – Shadows of the Empire card series)
