    Original SW screening at BFI in June

    getting tickets for this will be impossible - the damn bots will get them all in the first 2mins... but: https://www.bfi.org.uk/news/bfi-film-film-festival-line-up-star-wars-twin-peaks Pretty cool to see the original again

    Tariffs... Is this going to be another nail in the modern toy coffin...

    I guess the header says it all - will the new world order serve to kill of Modern toys (not just Star Wars) as we know them. Chris Cocks has been very quick to point out that Trumps tariff war can only result in the cost of toys going up and while Hasbro will try to offset some of that with...

    Retro Collection Pre-Order

    Arse - I missed out on the pre-order for the next Retro Collection Box If anyone comes across (or know of) any still able to order much appreciated (I am not dreading the Evilbay price....)

    History of Palitoy

    I was lucky enough to be at Farthest From in Dec where Brain showed off some pages - it is a fantastic looking book: If Palitoy is your thing I do recommend hopping over and backing this one:

    KK to step down...

    OK This may prompted a lot of 'about time' posts - but here we go: https://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2025-02-25-breaking-news-kathleen-kennedy-will-retire-and-step-down-at-lucasfilm-for-real/ So if KK is stepping down - who steps up - what projects get dropped and what takes its place. I can't...

    Latest film gossip

    Fact or fiction - could be good news if it is real - although nothing is known about it, but I can't imagine a big-time A lister (and massively talented one at that) would line up behind something that didn't at least read well...

    Vectis SW Extravaganza (so they say)

    Toy of the Year

    So this can only apply to modern collecting, but since there are a few of us and we do seem to buy a fair bit of modern I figured I'd have a go at this (might be an epic fail). But, what do you all think the best SW toy of the year is. Given the spread of vendors and breadth of their ranges I'm...

    KK might want to call BB for some advice

    This may be a bit simplistic and I have no idea how true this is, but I love the idea of Barbara Broccoli telling Amazon boss to F&%K OFF - Bond isn't 'content' it is so much more: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32427559/next-james-bond-film-amazon-barbara-broccoli - It is also interesting that...

    Here we go again - New films announced

    And the game of musical chairs which is, what Star Wars films will get announced and never made continues..... https://deadline.com/2024/11/star-wars-trilogy-simon-kinberg-movies-1236169916/ Although this one feels like it is more 'real' and less clutching at whatever it they clutch at...

    Are Hasbro and Lucas Film (Disney) Falling out of Love

    I guess this a Modern thread thing given I'm talking about new SW toys. I was reading this article (which is quite speculative): https://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2024-09-20-the-star-wars-rumor-zone-weekend-fun-edition/ But at the same time, kinda rings true - SW is no longer a top 10 toy...

    The Acolyte is Dead

    I'd love to post this in the Acolyte thread but for whatever reason I can't - only new posts for now, but to no one's surprise the show has been consigned to a trash can far far away: https://deadline.com/2024/08/the-acolyte-canceled-no-season-2-star-wars-disney-plus-1236044233/

    London Film and Comic Con this weekend

    Not Star Wars specific but I am sure there will be plenty of SW merch at the stalls - at at least I am hoping there is as I finally have a morning free to make it a con for the first time in years... Going to combine it with a little promo work and chats for my own upcoming Graphic Novel launch...

    My New Graphic Novel Business

    Last year after almost a decade of working for Sky I found myself surplus to requirements and unceremoniously booted to the curb - since then I've been a mostly unproductive member of society and while I'd love to say UNTIL NOW - I am not sure starting a GN buisness makes me useful - but it is...

    Revenge of the Sith Carded Figures

    So if anyone is looking to get rid of some Revenge of the Sith carded figures let me know - I've decided to try and get a full run of figures (which means I'll have to look for Attack of the Clones at some point even though that SAGA line is a mess). Anyway - I'm starting with zero - going to...

    Tales of the Empire

    Anyone else checked this one out yet. Personally I really enjoyed it - I thought it was better than Tales of the Jedi. I enjoyed getting a bit more of the backstory to Morgan Elsbeth and as normal DF couldn't resist giving us more Clone Wars throwback characters and images (I am not...
