Netflix’s ‘The Toys That Made Us’ has been an immensely popular hit series, charting the true stories behind toys from Barbie dolls, G.I. Joe, to Star Wars.  Now Den Of Geek have an exclusive Star Wars deleted scene for us to enjoy (above.)

For those readers who weren’t born in the 1970s or ’80s, we can’t begin to emphasize how Kenner’s Star Wars items immediately and permanently changed the toy landscape. Like the film that spawned them, there was nothing ever like it in pop culture before. These things were everywhere, and their success was a tribute not only to George Lucas’ mastery but also to the great workmanship and marketing from the Cincinatti-based Kenner company.

The company’s struggles in bringing these toys into the marketplace are chronicled in-depth in the Star Wars installment of The Toys That Made Us, but a deleted sequence sheds more light on how photography was used to make the product look as appealing as possible. Exclusive to Den of Geek, the below clip includes insight from Kenner photographer Kim Simmons on how his images helped bring a galaxy far, far away to your local toystore.
