Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of “Return of the Jedi” and in celebration, all in stock Star Wars items are 15% off! All Star Wars action figures, t-shirts, graphic novels and comic books! So come on down and pick up that Star Wars item you’ve been wanting! (excludes special order items)

It’s also a good time to grab a membership to Rancho Obi-Wan!  They are a museum that contains the world’s largest privately-owned Star Wars collection.   Check out all of the details here:http://www.ranchoobiwan.org/support/memberships

And here’s a little piece of Star Wars history: the original name was going to be “Revenge of the Jedi” but was later changed. The change occurred because George Lucas decided that revenge was not the way of the Jedi Order. But some promotional material was already released, such as this trailer. BONUS: pay attention at 1:11. There is a quick shot that was not used in the film! 

Happy Friday everyone! Just to let you know, we will be open this Monday, May 27 from 12 noon to 5 pm for the Memorial Day Weekend. If you will be in town, come on by. If you are going out of town, stop by today to pick up reading material for the trip! Hope you have a great holiday weekend!

I am sorry to say we still have not received our new comic books yet. They are scheduled to arrive by the end of the day. If you are coming by, give a call first or plan on this afternoon. I will post here as soon as they show up. In the meantime, enjoy this picture of our new puppy Kirby!

I want to give everyone a heads up: our weekly shipment will be delayed this week due to Victoria Day (Canada) closures affecting Diamond shipping.  We are scheduled to get our comics by end of day Wednesday.   Sorry for any inconvenience and we will do our best to get the new comics out as soon as possible.  Thanks!

Petaluma has been jumpin’ these last few weeks. And the excitement continues this weekend with Petaluma’s Salute to American Graffiti! So come on down and check out some cool cars and stop by Brian’s Comics for some cool comics!
