Taika Waititi, voice of Mo in Pixar’s Lightyear, has spoken about the first film that made him want toys as a child, and he immediately pinpointed Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
When asked for the first time a movie made him need to go out and buy all the toys as a kid, Waititi immediately pinpointed Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. As for which specific figures were top priority, one of his picks won’t come as much of a surprise.
“Han Solo, and then Boba Fett, obviously, was a big one. See, Return of the Jedi was really when the toys really took off for me, and that was very exciting. I remember also having an LP, a record … but it was a whole narrated Return of the Jedi and I’d like listening to that and reading along with the book.”
