Mark Hamill has already conquered the Star Wars collectible niche.

He has warehouses containing one of literally every Star Wars toy, because he put that in his contract

That's a smart dude right there. Does that go all the way back? He was only 24 when filming began and that's one hell of a move on a contract.

He read the script, saw there were robots and laser swords and poo poo, and figured that there'd be a few good toys in it.

Didn't expect there to be a million different thing made, or that the early stuff would be worth tons of money

So I had a funeral in my Calendar for this Saturday and I was very stressed out because I didn’t know whose it was and I was afraid I was going to miss it. Then I realized that it was part of my 60 year plan and I set it like 50 years ago. It’s my funeral, I’m missing my funeral.

Couple say I'm their daughter and try and kidnap me for not doing my job...

u/flex_tape_gurl

This was about 3 years ago but my aunt recently brought it up so I thought I'd share. This was a horrid experience but I now look back and laugh.

I was 14 and was visiting my aunt and uncle over the summer. My aunt works at the drug store a few blocks away. One day I had to get some feminine products as I had run out. So I decided I'd bring some lunch and eat with my aunt on her lunch break.

I went straight to the feminine products and in my haste accidently knocked some down. So I had squatted down to pick them. Note I also had my earbuds in listening to music. I was on the floor for maybe a minute when i was forcefully pulled up to a standing position. I turned and was met with a barbeque stained tshirt. Looked up I realized the guy wearing it was very angry and still holding on to my arm. He then started angrily ranting about how I shouldn't be wearing earbuds at work and should listen when someone was speaking to me.

I gruffly say "I dont work here. Go find someone else," and pulled my arm from his grip. Suddenly he's furious. He grabs my arm and starts pulling me to the front saying he's going to get me fired for being such a rude b***h. I was literally being dragged against my will so I start screaming "help! I'm being sexually assulted! He's trying to kidnap me!" He told me to shut up and still wouldn't let go!

People finally start coming around the corner as we get to the cash register. The lady there is horrified and tells him to let go of me and she is going to call the cops. He doesn't let go but realizes he's gonna be in trouble. So in an effort to cover his rear end he starts saying that I'm his daughter and I was trying to steal and his wife is right here to prove it. His wife looks a little shocked but quickly composes herself. She then marches right up to me and slaps me saying, I didn't raise my daughter to steal. They turn, still pulling me along, to leave. The whole time I am utterly horrified and didn't really say anything.

At this point my aunt comes from the back room and is utterly shocked. She starts screaming to let go of me. They start yelling that they are just disciplining their daughter. My aunt screams back that I'm her niece and they are going to jail. The guy quickly let go of me and literally run for the exit. The cashier lady followed them out yelling at them.

Turned out the cops had just pulled up outside and arrested them. I stayed in the back room as I was freaking out. But my aunt talked to the cops and pressed charges. They charged with assult, attempted kidnapping, theft (they took their unpaid items with them when they ran) and something else that I cant remember. I know the guy got 18 months in jail and a fine and the woman got a huge fine.

Edit: I think that the other was for having an illegal drug on them.
