Richard is SUPER excited about this next interview: in 1978 Lucasfilm commemorated the one-year Anniversary of Star Wars with the now iconic poster. This poster included Kenner action figures surrounding a cake with the Star Wars logo.

Star Wars 1st Anniversary Poster

That very cake was made by our next guest Tom Rosa, the owner of Cake and Art located right here in Los Angeles. What stories he has to tell!
