Mandoverse Rewatch Part 2 – The Mandalorian Season 2

In the run up to ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3, I attempted a rewatch of both seasons of ‘The Mandalorian’ as well as ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ but ended up having life getting in the way and my attempt was unsuccessful. However, I have continued the rewatch and I’ve decided to put some of my

Obi-Wan Kenobi: One Year On

Back in May 2022, during Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm premiered the first two episode of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ and released them on Disney+ just after. Now this was during the height of my total burnout of ‘Star Wars’ in the past year that started just after ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ ended but I was still

#CollectionCorner – Lego Inquisitor Transport Scythe Review

During my year off, the Lego collecting dwindled a bit. Other than getting ‘Boba Fett’s Throne Room’ as an Anniversary gift and ‘The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter’ for my birthday, my desire to expand the collection just seemed to vanish, I suppose the fact that I moved out of the “Office” so that our son had

All Roads Lead to Thrawn

The Mandalorian Ahsoka Skeleton Crew The Book of Boba Fett The four series that comprise Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni’s “Mandoverse” that, according to the big reveal at SWCE 2023, will culminate with Filoni’s feature film, seems to be, as the ‘Ahsoka’ trailer has strongly hinted at, a Canon reinterpretation of the seminal Expanded Universe

Star Wars: Dangerous Turn Comic Review

With the Rebel Fleet getting stronger and the leadership reunited, survival is no longer the priority but Luke’s focus is drawn away towards his destiny and a need to train harder toward becoming a Jedi. As Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar make strategies for locating the missing Rebels and (finally) setting up a rescue mission

Thrawn Ascendency Book 3: Lesser Evil Audiobook by Timothy Zahn Spoiler Free Review

I won’t lie folks, it’s very rare that a book affects me on a huge level. Not since ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ and I read *THAT* scene and launched that time across a room because I was so emotional. Listening to ‘Lesser Evil’, I had some very vocal responses. Luckily I

#CollectionCorner – Sabine Wren Black Series Figure Review

Out of all the characters from ‘Star Wars: Rebels’, Sabine is the one who got some of the best character development throughout the whole series. The quick witted, teenage Mandalorian graffiti artist turned heads with her brightly coloured armour and explosive hobby which makes her more than perfect to be immortalised in 6” of plastic.

#CollectionCorner – Chopper (C1-10P) Black Series Figure Review

Whilst Hasbro have had a hit-and-miss success rate of getting figures to look like their on-screen counterparts (just look at every Poe Dameron figure ever), Droids, Troopers, masked characters have always looked amazing This is Chopper’s second ‘Black Series’ release, and this is a repack of the first, with the same accessories and base that

#CollectionCorner – Hera Syndulla Black Series Figure Review

Whilst you could say that making a life-like figure based on an animated character could be hard to do, an easier thing would be to translate an animated alien character to a life-like action figure. A “life-like” Hera Syndulla has been done before. This is her second outing as a Black Series figure, we have

#CollectionCorner – Kanan Jarrus Black Series Figure Review

When I decided that ‘The Black Series’ figures were something I was going to get into, I spent some time figuring out where to start other than a Rey and Kylo from each of the Sequel Trilogy as well as a Han Solo from ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ and a the Jedi Master Luke

Why Does Bo Katan Want to Rule Mandalore?

I’ve been doing some contemplating on Bo Katan Kryze this week (I rewatched ‘The Rescue’) and I’ve been wondering quite a bit about her reasoning behind her, almost desperation to retake Mandalore. In ‘The Rescue’, we learn a few things in regards to Mandalore, firstly, Boba Fett claims that “The Empire turned the planet to

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn Book Review

I can’t imagine the excitement for fans in 1991 when this book was released after eight years since ‘Return of the Jedi’ has been released. Of course there had been new content, the two Ewoks films as well as the Droids and Ewoks cartoons, but this was the first story that continued the heroes adventures.

Thrawn Ascendency 1: Chaos Rising by Timothy Zahn Book Review

Thrawn’s back baby and this time he’s bringing his fellow Chiss along for the ride. Set during The Clone Wars (for the most part), we find Mitth’raw’nuruodo during his time in the Chiss Ascendency. Brought in to investigate an attack on the Chiss Homeworld, Thrawn’s investigation takes us on an adventure throughout ‘The Chaos’ (The

#CollectionCorner – Imperial Troop Transport Lego Battle Pack

This was one of those sets that I missed out on as I started collecting Lego again. Based on the vehicle from ‘Star Wars: Rebels’ which in turn is based on an original concept that Kenner produced in the 70’s and 80’s as part of a set of smaller vehicles. It also recently made it’s

Doctor Aphra Vol. 4 – The Catastrophe Con

I am really enjoying this series, it’s quickly becoming my favourite of all the Star Wars comics from Marvel right now. The character of Aphra is one of my favourite original characters from the new expanded materials. I am so pleased that I made the decision to go back and read the whole of her

#CollectionCorner – The Black Series Expansion

As followers of the Blog will know, I am a big collector of Star Wars Lego and Funko POP! Figures, and for a time that was enough. In my collecting past, I used to get the ‘Power of the Force 2’ action figures in the 90’s, and those are stashed away in the shed, buried

The Rumour Mill

The rumours coming out in the last few weeks have been almost overwhelming. And at this point I’m getting sick of hearing them. Lets go back a few weeks when the news was suddenly dropped that Rosario Dawson was playing Ahsoka in ‘The Mandalorian’ Season Two and the internet exploded, and rightfully so. Dawson has

Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith Vol. 1 – Imperial Machine

I can’t believe that I’m about to say this. I found this book to be disappointing. I think, because I had heard so many great things about Charles Soule’s Vader series that I went in with very high expectations. Don’t get me wrong, it starts out amazingly in the first issue which is essentially Vader

The Tragedy of Darth Maul

Warning – Some Spoilers for ‘The Clone Wars’ and ‘Rebels’ ahead. I have harped on about that Teaser Trailer for ‘The Phantom Menace’ a lot this year (or it feels like it anyway), especially the shot of Darth Maul igniting the double blades lightsaber that ruined ‘The Mask of Zorro’ for me (well, distracted me

Darth Vader: No More Mystery

Am I the only one who thinks we are getting too much Vader content at the moment. Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm and the Canon got reset I feel like the character who had this air of mystery, not about their identity but about their actions, is slowly losing that mystery thanks to all of the

#CollectionCorner – Where Are the ‘Resistance’ Toys?

After one season of ‘Star Wars: Resistance’, that has grown a huge and dedicated fan base but the merchandise is severely lacking, especially here in the UK. So far, even though there has been an action figure wave, I have yet to see them in any shops or online, with the exception of larger Comic

Speculation: The Future of Evil in the Galaxy

“Sources close to the movie say that Skywalker will at long last bring to a climax the millennia-long conflict between the Jedi Order and its dark shadow, the Sith.” Lev Grossman Vanity Fair Lets just take a moment to take those words in… The climax of the millennia-long conflict between the Jedi and the Sith. The Sith

Thrawn – The Marvel Adaptation Review

Novel – Timothy Zahn Writer – Jody Houser Artist – Luke Ross Colour Artist – Nolan Woodard With ‘Thrawn: Treason’ fast approaching and after finishing ‘Master and Apprentice’ I decided I would give the current Thrawn books a go, then I found that Prime Reading has quite a few of the Marvel Star Wars Comics

For those in attendance, today is a nice ease into the weekend. No panels, just cruising the Con Floor looking at stalls, getting tattoos, picking up

Dave Filoni: Animator. Director. Saviour.

‘The Clone Wars’ film was released in cinemas and a name appeared on screen, that when I first saw the film I shrugged it off, Dave Filoni? Who is Dave Filoni? Now, almost eleven years later, that name is almost as synonymous with Star Wars as George Lucas. Dave Filoni is the man behind some

The latest episode of the Life Debt Podcast is now live. You can listen to it HERE. This week I watched ‘Revenge of the Sith’ and really took notice at how much ‘The Clone Wars’ really helps expand the story of Anakin after ‘Attack of the Clones’ and makes his actions in ROTS make more

#RebelsRemembered

A year ago today I woke up an hour earlier than normal. I got myself settled and I found the final three episodes of Star Wars: Rebels and started watching. I didn’t move from that spot for the whole time they were playing. I was moved, incredibly torn and quite emotional. I had no clue
