Jim Swearingen, instrumental in bringing the Star Wars line to Kenner where he was a senior designer, is attending Star Wars Fan Fun Day on Bank Holiday Monday, May 4th, 2026, at Blackburn Rovers Football Club.
In early 1977 as a Senior Designer Jim was instrumental in Kenner’s acquisition of the Lucas Film, Star Wars license and the design and development of the toy line. If you’re a collector of the vintage toys from the 1970’s & 1980’s Jim is the guy who designed and developed them.
