Thanks for the heads up Ian, that's really appreciated. Nice to hear word has spread across the pond and fun to hear them struggling to pronounce 'Basingstoke'!

A Ridley Scott Star Wars movie would have looked the absolute business. However having Lucas hovering over his shoulder wouldn't have gone down well. Scott seems quite a formidable no-nonsense leader on set and he probably would have ended up breaking George's kneecaps if he tried to be a...

^^well summarised Mr Savory! I pretty much agree with every word.

"The grass was greener! The light was brighter!" Great stuff...

I don't like to recommend any podcast other the Vintage Rebellion, but if you're all caught up on that then the latest Empire Podcast centres around a really fascinating and frank interview with Rian Johnson, where they go into some depth about the movie, and the meaning and reasoning behind...

The Last Jedi actually does use some of George Lucas' sequel trilogy ideas. Lucas' idea for the sequel was for an ageing Luke to reluctantly train a young girl to be a Jedi (named Kira not Rey). Luke had spent 30 years hidden away in solitude in his Jedi temple. Doug Chiang had created the...

These thoughts mean as much as any critics review, just heartfelt. A good read. I've seen TLJ twice and I am already looking forward to the blu ray and rewatching it and checking out the documentaries and deleted scenes.

In all seriousness it's a legendary item, wish they'd done more 'shop shelf' figure packs like this. Do you also have the Red six pack, is that one on your radar?

Lucas was indeed by all accounts reduced to a nervous breakdown making Star Wars, and that undoubtedly left a scar on him. He'd probably have directed a load more movies if he'd had a smoother ride. And then when he was ready to return with The Phantom Menace, much the same happened again...

Steve, congrats on that Six Pack and the display in that case looks cool. £10.88 bargain! :lol:

Wow, that's humbling to hear! Steve, I hope you enjoy seeing it again - there are some new additions, and good luck with the run :D

Here you go, red only for the Sear Imperial Cruiser (and of course no batteries under the cover!)

May The Toys Be With You is now on (free to visit) at The Willis Museum in Basingstoke. Lots of lovely vintage Star Wars, and do pop in if you're in the locality!

You've got a minty C3PO. Full stop. That ought to be the end of the story! Some pimply young fellow in a low rent industrial estate, working for probably close to minimum wage has looked at this figure and written a number on a sticker. He's then probably chowed down on a donut and texted his...

Defo not Ledy, they have a much thicker black headband (see middle figure in pic).

Knowing how little a percentage authors receive from their work I feel sympathy for John Kellerman as the vast majority of $$$ from his book has been from the after market, sold on second hand. Like Edd, I also don't know why prices remain as high as they do now that the internet provides such...

Going a bit deep down the rabbit hole with this one, as I don't know if any of you boys collect vintage tickets (although I know Mark Daniels dabbles). These are tickets to early UK cast & crew screenings. I'm not sure if another complete run of all 3 tickets exist, but you can see them in...

Yes, this is a trailer for the ESB and ROTJ Special Editions, so it would have likely played in front of Star Wars: Special Edition upon its release in France March 1997. Some people buy these and cut them up, and then resell the film cels individually - but I think it's a nice thing to keep...

I’ve kept thinking ‘any day now we’ll hear that Solo release date has been pushed back to December’. All the other Disney SW films have had December releases and after Lord and Miller got replaced I thought this has to get bumped... ...but looks like we are still on for May. Just 4 months away...

Yes, a 'newbie' special episode would be great. Something we could direct first timers or new people entering the hobby to listen to. ps. I listened to the first half hour of the podcast with the sound accidentally set at 1.5X speed on my iphone. I thought everyone was chatting a bit quicker...
