How Can Episode VII Topple Avatar?

To many Star Wars fans, I’m sure this topic won’t be a big deal.  I mean, what if Star Wars: Episode VII goes on to topple the domestic (U.S.) and worldwide box office numbers of James Cameron’s, Avatar (2009)?

I’m going to skip over all the other action figures stuff from Hasbro’s 2014 SDCC panel and get right to the good stuff. The Black Series. First up is the 3.75 inch line. I’m not big on the 3.75 line, but I love this one. Rex looks great, not too much to complain about here….

My Theory on Boba Fett in the Sequels
