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

War of the Bounty Hunters Issue 3 by Charles Soule

When Darth Vader crashes the party and claims Solo as his own, he not only angers the Hutt Cartel, but insults Sly Moore who is at the auction as a representative of The Empire. He also manages to kill a number of gangsters and battles Qi’Ra who is bested by the Sith Lord. As Luke

And Another One Bites the Dust…

Josh Trank… James Mangold… Colin Trevorrow… Patty Jenkins… What do they all have in common? They got Star Wars cancelled. They all had a film in development and they either got let go (Trank and Trevorrow), it never came to fruition (Mangold) or it got put into the “indefinitely postponed” camp (Jenkins). But why does

Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren Issue 4

And with that, the series rights itself. After last months lacklustre issue, Soule really ties the story together the bring ‘The Rise of Kylo Ren’ to a quick but satisfying conclusion. Ben uses his Mind Invasion technique to stop Ren and the Knights from murdering innocent beings but they do it anyway. Once they reach

Speculation: Why Didn’t Anakin Appear to Kylo?

It’s a question many a fan has asked since we first found out about Kylo Ren talking to the burnt mask of Vader. Then we find out in ‘The Last Jedi’ that the Force Ghosts, well, Yoda at least (and you could assume Obi-Wan and Anakin) knows about Ben Solo’s turn to the Dark Side.

Triple Force Fail

This years “big” roll out of new Star Wars merchandise hasn’t exactly gone with a bang has it? There are people all over the world (well, all over Facebook and Twitter) that are complaining about the lack of selection wherever they have gone to buy the new toys. I for one have visited the local

My Star Wars (Life) Reviews – Bloodline by Claudia Grey

If you haven’t read Bloodline by Claudia Grey then tread lightly because there are SPOILERS ahead. You have been warned. When Bloodline was announced I was immediately excited.

#Collection Corner – Funko Pop! The Finn Collection

When Funko got the license for Star Wars they landed on a goldmine. Like Hasbro (and Kenner back in the day) they could make figures of so many different characters in so many different costumes. Just look at Luke in ‘A New Hope’, he has the farmboy outfit, the poncho, the Stormtrooper armour, the farmboy

#Collection Corner – Captain Phasma Pop! Vinyl Comparison

Whilst my last ‘comparison’ was a little one-sided, this time around its being done a lot fairer. These two figures came out months apart. The first as part of the first ‘Force Friday’ even in 2015 as part of the first merchandise push for ‘The Force Awakens’. The second was a Smuggler’s Bounty exclusive from

#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.

#Collection Corner – Lego Porg

Despite this being a Christmas present from my wife and daughter I received it early, due to the fact my wife got her Christmas Present in October AND it was looking at me. I swear it was. The box is big, deceptively big, probably to justify the £59.99 price tag. Granted the model is made
