The Sandpeople Are Coming!
I love that this Star Wars toy commercial from 1978 calls the Land Speeder’s simple hood a “space hatch.” Just one of the little details that made the toys so much fun back in the seventies and eighties . . . and a bit of charm that makes commercials like this something that’s still fun to watch today. And, as always, action figures each sold separately.

Hahaha, from now on, I’m referring to every variation of door, window or shutter as a Space Hatch.
“Yeeeaaaah!!”
Shut the space hatch! What, were you born in a space barn?
