Launched in 1995 by Galoob Toys, Star Wars Micro Machines proved one of the top-selling Star Wars toys of the 1990. These were among the first Star Wars related-toys available to purchase from toy stores in 12 years and kids were eager to tell the stories of heroes and villains, of empires and rebellion, and of good triumphing over evil. The four original sets of figures included Stormtroopers, Ewoks, TIE pilots, and Rebel Alliance pilots. The next series included Jawas, Imperial Officers, and Echo Base Troopers.
