Not sure what is selling in Hake's, but, yeah, Star Wars has always been collectible for those of us who are a certain age, although some of it has really taken off lately (e.g., unopened wax).
I have Star Wars stuff mixed with sports stuff. And just picked up the Empire Strikes Back sticker sheet (now framed). If my kids (now 12 and 14) ever collect cards when they are older, it is going to be Pokemon, because.... that's all I ever see kids buying.

Nerd here. I collect both Star Wars & Pokemon.
Star Wars has always been a popular item to collection but, even more so after Disney acquired LucasFilm. It helped attract new collectors & keep the old school collectors around. Pokemon is very nostalgic for my age group (mid 30s). I started playing/collecting Pokemon when it first came out in the late 90's as a kid. Much like trading baseball cards it was fun to trade cards with fellow classmates & friends at school, around the neighborhood, the mall etc.....tons of great memories! That original targeted age group is all grown up now. Having their kids interested in the new Pokemon franchise reengaged them back to the franchise...so it's cool to see the franchise has survived that long.

Nerd here.
Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw at the local drive-in as a 4 year old and I was instantly obsessed with anything and everything star wars through about '85. I still watch the new movies but I only collect stuff from the original trilogy. I also collect/dabble in vintage toys, movie posters, Halloween, coin-op, and pop culture, as well as baseball.

I stopped in to Hake’s yesterday (very nice people) to preview a few items. They have a great office with toys, posters etc all over the place. The one gentleman I was talking to was coordinating the Captain America shield to be previewed at the comic show in Baltimore. As I left, I was kicking myself to ask if I can try it on.
