I started watching at 7pm, but it didn't seem to start until 8pm. So far this is what has been shown:

Star Wars Food
- from all over the world including Jar Jar Candy

C3P0
- made in canada with a chainsaw modeled after a C3P0 toy

Star Wars Hippos from Germany
- paper Falcon folded out to show tiny hippos in star wars gear

Star Wars Toiletries
- Darth Vader soap with Darth Vader toy in center of soap
- Roll on deodorant
- soap shaped like R2D2
- electronic toothbrush

More updates to come as more is revealed at Rancho Obi-wan. Please discuss and add to the list what I might have missed.

 

Tommy's an idiot, I'd rather just seen Stansweet give us a tour by himself.

 

Sure, but the kids love him. And isn't that what it's all about? Ha!

Well I'm hoping they will make the Rancho open to the public someday. Look at the bright side; at least it's not Elmo taking us on the tour.


More Updates:
Boba Fett's stunt jetpack
Han's blaster
C3P0 head
R2D2 dome

 

Would that Jar Jar candy he ate not be 5 years old?

 

Probably. That's why it showed him chewing it for 1/2 hour.

I saw these things on the tour on tv:

- empire strikes back from 1980 slumberbag
- r2 shirt, backpack, hat
- star wars arcade
- full size replecia of x-wing, tie fighter, and snow speeder

then i stopped watching because i couldn't sit through the other crap that cartoon network aires

I did turn in at 11:30pm to see that Tommy gave Steve a hug. Then Tommy pulled out what looked like a condom wrapper, but it turned out it was the wrapper for the Jar Jar candy. (freshness date of 1999 ha!)

 

Oh man... after the first season of Clone Wars, I totally forgot about that Tommy kid. Now, he's back and worse than ever... Cartoon Network was my favorite network growing up because it WASN'T Nickelodeon... Let's hope it stays that way.

 

Those commercials during Clone Wars were atrocious. I liked seeing Sansweet's merchandise and whatnot, but those kids and... ugh, must forget. Must forget.

 

I like that Tommy kid, lol. He's brave enough to act silly on TV, and I must admit-- I laughed a few times.


Oh, and every single one of us grown men and women (well, older than Tommy at least) on here would have been geeking out way more than Tommy was if you were ever to visit the Rancho. Admit it.

 

Yeah, Tommy was pretty calm compared to how I would have been acting.

 

I felt like Tommy was more "Hey, I'm on TVing out" more than "geeking out." It semed like he was pretending stuff was cool, because he was told it was cool, not because he actually thought it was... Cartoon Network probably wasn't looking for someone to "geek out" about the stuff in the collection, but they could have at least had a "real" fan go along with Tommy...

 

Does anyone have this tour encoded and uploaded to the internet? I'd love to see it.

 

I doubt anyone took the time. Maybe if we're lucky it'll be on the Clone Wars DVD. Or maybe they'll put up the whole show on starwars.com. It was more goofy than informative.

 

I know if I was offered a tour of Sansweet's place, I would cream my pants!

 

Where is Rancho Obi-Wan anyway?

 

I have those star wars soaps.....only mine are busts and his looked like full figures inside. I use mine....only one left.

I was kinda disappointed. This guy has the best collection in the world and all we got to see was the odd ball stuff. I wanted to see more vintage figs and vehicles.
