Star Wars wowed the seventies, and the franchise has grown into a billion-dollar empire. The movie series has led to thousands of licenses for toy deals and merchandise, and original toys that came out with the movies have resold for thousands of dollars. An example is the 1978 Darth Vader action figure. Made by Kenner, the double-telescoping Darth Vader is worth thousands. The “Double Telescoping” refers to the lightsaber that Kenner used to include with its Darth Vader, Kenobi, and Luke Skywalker action figures.
