#Collection Corner -Lego Snoke’s Throne Room

When this set was initially announced I was in two minds about it. The set itself looks cool but the fact that there were only two mini-figs that were new (Praetorian Guards) kind of put me off. I already had the Rey, Kylo and Snoke figures from the first wave of ‘The Last Jedi’ sets.

My Star Wars (Life) Reviews – Lords of the Sith by Paul S. Kemp

I’ve been on a bit of a Vader kick recently. Built Vader’s Castle, bought a tonne of Vader comics, levelled Vader up on Battlefront 2 quite a bit and the first book I’ve read this year (I’m writing this on 6th Jan). I first read this in 2015 when I was on a huge Star

#Collection Corner – Lego Vader’s Castle

When this set was first announced last October and and made available for pre-order, I instantly sent the link to my wife under the banner ‘Christmas Please’.

My Star Wars (Life) Reviews – Dark Disciple by Christie Golden

What a great novel! From Katie Lucas’ introduction to the final sentence this book is fantastic. Originally written by Katie Lucas as two four part arcs set during The Clone Wars, Seasons Six and Seven the story follows Quinlan Vos, an unorthodox Jedi Master, who is sent by the Jedi Council to assassinate Count Dooku.

#Collection Corner – Lego T-65 X-Wing (2018)

As some of my older readers may know, I got my first Star Wars Lego set in 1999 and it was the X-Wing. At the time it was the best thing ever. Screen accuracy meant nothing to me. I had a Lego X-Wing and that was all that mattered. Fast forward to 2016, my Lego

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Inferno Squad by Christie Golden

As I have been slowly making my way through the game I have been re-reading the tie-in novel ‘Battlefront 2: Inferno Squad’ by Christie Golden.

My Star Wars (Life) Reviews – The Force Awakens

How does one prepare to watch one of the most anticipated films ever? By binge-eating sweets, drinking coffee and hoping the butterflies in your stomach is actually nerves and not an inconvenient need to go for a poo when the film is mere moments away from starting. That was how I felt three years ago

The final part of Wendig’s Aftermath Trilogy, Empire’s End builds on everything established in the previous two books.

Storylines come together, for the main characters and those featured in the Interludes, giving us a greater

My Star Wars (Life) Reviews – Revenge of the Sith

The run up to Revenge of the Sith, for me, was fraught with anticipation. Through the first half of 2005 I was in full Star Wars mode. I bought absolutely everything I could. We had gotten the teaser in the November before and from then on that was it. Lucas had me and my money

My Star Wars (Life) Reviews – Attack of the Clones

Full disclosure. This is not my favourite Star Wars film. In fact its my least favourite. But I still enjoy it. It’s just that sometimes I’ll struggle to watch it. Take my recent re-watch.
