#CollectionCorner – Lego Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle

A few months ago I wrote about the (then) upcoming sets from the ‘Ahsoka’ series and how I was wanting to add the three sets to my collection, and I was lucky enough to get my first set from the series at Christmas, ‘Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle’ which, once I had complete all the

#WayBackWednesday – The Bad Batch aka The A-Team of Star Wars

The next animated Star Wars series has just been officially announced after a few weeks of rumours and speculation and rather than the news about a ‘Rebels’ Sequel Series, we’re getting a spin-off of ‘The Clone Wars’. The series will follow the exploits of Clone Force 99, otherwise known as ‘The Bad Batch’, a group

Star Wars: Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn Review

Timothy Zahn could easily just make a career of writing Mitth’raw’nuruodo novels and just sit back and watch the accolades come pouring in because ‘Outbound Flight’ which serves as a prequel to both his ‘Heir to the Empire’ trilogy and his later novel ‘Survivor’s Quest’, all five (including ‘Outbound Flight’ have been released in the

Star Wars Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade by Delilah S. Dawson Review

Before I start, I’d like to thank the lovely folks at Del Rey Publishing for sending a review copy of this book. After two amazing novels set in the Star Wars Galaxy, Delilah S. Dawson returns with another triumphant story that introduces us to an amazing character, built upon the look of one of the

My Top 5 Star Wars Books (Canon)

In this post, I’ll be taking a look at my five favourite Canon Novels. Having read the majority of them, I hope they cover a wide range. I will be avoiding any series (e.g. ‘The High Republic’) and trilogy (e.g. The ‘Aftermath Trilogy’ and ‘Alphabet Squadron’ Trilogy). ‘A New Dawn’ by John Jackson Miller was

Brotherhood by Mike Chen Audiobook Review

Amazing. Just amazing. In my review for Shadow of the Sith I commented on how it very easily became recommended reading, something that doesn’t always happen with tie-in books, and it turns out that 2022 gave us not one, but two. ‘Brotherhood’ has quickly fallen into the essential reading category, it covers territory that I

#CollectionCorner – Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter Lego Review

Way back when in the olden days, well, 2002, I successfully tracked down (because for some reason it was hard to find at the time) a Lego set from the new ‘Attack of the Clones’ range. It was the ‘Jedi Starfighter’. In the years since, there have been a few updated sets but not one

Mandoverse Rewatch Part 1- The Mandalorian Season 1

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

Shadow of the Sith by Adam Christopher Review

Since the Canon reset in 2014, I have always maintained that the books and comics should be used to further the ongoing story of the Galaxy Far, Far Away, and at times, help to enhance the films. Just look at ‘Catalyst’ by James Luceno, the story of Orsen Krennic and Galen Erso and their time

#CollectionCorner – Lego Mandalorian Starfighter

For Christmas, my wife, daughter and I were gifted a trip to Legoland Windsor. So after a day full of rides, queues and Lego themed shenanigans (not to mention an early morning and watching the first episode of ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ on my phone with no sound) we made it to the shop.

#CollectionCorner – Lego Duel on Mandalore

It feels great to be getting back to some building. It feels like it’s been a very, very long time since I built anything other than a mini-build and this was a nice little ice-breaker for 2022. At 147 pieces for £17.99 (which isn’t a bad price all things considered), it’s a small and quick

War of the Bounty Hunters Issue 1 by Charles Soule

What the #%$¥ just happened? I got the first part of Charles Soule’s central story to the ‘War of the Bounty Hunters’ crossover event, expecting something pretty cool, enjoyable and action packed like the Prelude. What I got was a complete and utter masterclass in Star Wars comics storytelling that will be hard to top

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 Vintage: Clone Wars 2D Micro Series – Volume 1

Oh Disney+, you wonderful, beautiful beast you. Treating us to a whole array of Star Wars: Legends content. Back in the 2000’s when this series first aired I really annoyed my parents, taking over the TV to record these onto VHS, in five minute bursts. But I didn’t care, it was wonderful new Star Wars

#CollectionCorner – Summer 2021 Lego Rumours

Thanks to the always informative JediJacPenguin, recently updated with some exciting looking sets, which at this point are rumours, and what’s exciting, a couple of these were even on my recent Mandalorian Lego Wishlist. Summer 2021 On the list for the Summer, there are seven sets on the list, however not all of them have

#Collection Corner – 501st Legion Clone Troopers Lego

I held off on buying this for quite a while, originally feeling that there were plenty of other ‘Clone Wars’ vehicles we could have gotten instead of another AT-RT and a Speeder Bike, but sometimes those sets you don’t get excited for become a saving grace. After a pretty rough week, mental health wise I

Star Wars Reveals at Disney+ Investor Day 2020

Bob Chapek’s introduction gave us a hint of what we were in for later on in the four hour video aimed at investors, and it was a wonderful hint, 10 new Star Wars series/films.

Hasbro recently announced, via IO9 a new batch of ‘Black Series’ figures, all of which are based on characters from ‘The Clone Wars’ Season 7 story arc, ‘The Siege of Mandalore’, and as this is the first announcement of new figures since I started collecting them, I’m pretty excited, and I can safely say that

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

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

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

#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
