From 1986 to 1995, there wasn't much new Star Wars stuff coming out during the slow time between Return of the Jedi and the announcement of the prequels which would debut in 1999 with Star Wars The Phantom Menace.


In 1995 merchandising for Star Wars kicked into high gear, beginning with Hasbro's Power of the Force line. Many other licensed products started appearing, including a line of bandages from Curad shown here, featuring C-3PO.
