“few remember Hardware Wars”
Not for lack of trying. At various times there were articles about it inside magazines like Star Wars Insider, and fans have tried making fan pages for it. I even recall a few fan made petitions and attempts at fundraisers to try to get the creators to make a new one when the prequels came out.
