This weeks The Saga Vault is here, an episode that looks at items from 1977, with our panelists Gus Lopez, Steve Sansweet, Michael Wistock and Lisa Stevens. Which one would you choose? Watch and find out.

In May of 1977, pop culture changed forever when a low-budget sci-fi film exploded into a global phenomenon. In this episode of The Saga Vault, our panel travels back to year zero to showcase the rarest first-wave relics from the birth of the galaxy. From the actual hand-drawn 1977 Kenner concept sketch that inspired the original Chewbacca action figure and an authentic original hand-colored Marvel Comics Star Wars #7 production guide to an official 1977 20th Century-Fox studio pressbook and a historic autographed 1976 novelization that predates the movie’s release, these items capture the raw magic of 1977. Join world-renowned collectors Gus Lopez, Steve Sansweet, Vic Wertz, and Michael J. Wistock as they battle to induct the ultimate 1977 treasure into the Vault.

FEATURING:
🔹 Steve Sansweet (Rancho Obi-Wan) — the largest privately-owned Star Wars
collection on Earth
🔹 Michael Wistock (The Sunset Riot) — founding Rancho Obi-Wan Board member
and heavy metal frontman
🔹 Gus Lopez (Bobacabana) — the world’s foremost authority on Boba Fett & bounty
