Mark Boudreaux, Hasbro’s longtime Star Wars product designer/creator, who retired in 2020 and was hospitalised due to complications from COVID has sadly passed away. Mark worked for Kenner and then Hasbro for a total of 43 years, and brought us so many iconic products including the original 1978 Millennium Falcon and the Khetanna (Sail Barge). His influence on the line was immeasurable, and all those that follow in his footsteps owe him a great debt of gratitude for everything he achieved, and the high standards he set.
We send our condolences and love to his his wife Judy and the entire Boudreaux family.
