The Vintage Rebellion Returns. Or is it the Return of the Vintage Rebellion, or maybe even the Revenge of... okay, okay you get the point. We blame Richard and possibly Jason for the lack of January release. Its a long story, but considering our length in show you don't need to hear it. Its Episode 91!

Our very specialist of guests this month is Star Wars Podcasting Royalty, Sir Jimmy Mac from Rebel Force Radio. Pete has a good old fashioned chat about collecting, podcasting and anything else Star Wars related.

With Christmas but a fading memory, the lads rekindle some of the festive spirit with a recap of the best (and worst) Star Wars gifts they've received, and look forward hopefully to their dream purchases in 2022.

The New Acquisitions section leads on quickly into a discussion on the Book of Boba Fett - did we think it's a hit or a miss? Action Figure Face-Off features 3 flyboys and a Princess. Who will come out on top? Listen to find out.

After a cracking quiz from Andy Spoons, the team goes on to discuss this month's round up of fantastic finds from around the community. In Rebel Briefings the lads look at an unusual moment in Empire, a sad tale of a loss in the post, and a recap of the Special Editions which are now 25 years old.

And to close out the show, the licensee section features Star Wars jewellery by Weingeroff, and sold by Factors, one of the earliest licensed products. All this and the usual nonsense and senility, look out for the podcast in all the usual places.

Another v enjoyable episode fellas
I liked James's interview, he has a great view of life and the hobby although I must say turning up 20 odd mins late to the pictures to see Star Wars…unforgivable!

V bad news regarding Jeff Jacobs and his lost package via Fed Ex I can understand his complacency sending as he has been doing it 20 years with no probs which is something I can relate to personally. One thing I really have an issue with (which I'm not sure applies to Jeff's situation) is the description of the contents on the customs form on the outside of the box! One may as well send a piece in see through packaging
I do agree with you guys for a package worth that much, hand deliver yourself, get the recipient to pick up or poss get someone to do it for you! In 2013 I sold 27Ks worth of vintage SW MOC and insisted the buyer picked up! It turned out the buyer genuinely couldn't pick up and I refused to put them into the postal system so the buyer ended up arranging a courier to pick up the package from me and take it straight to him at a cost of around £200!

Special Editions, totally agree Andy it was amazing to have SW back in the big screen For me it was my chance to see SW & Empire for the first time on the big screen!! Which I did 3x each
However yep much of the changes absolutely poor and no need!! Totally agree Jason, Han shooting first under the table shows who & what he is!! What I did like; Falcon taking off in Mos Eisley, X-Wing dog fight, extended Wampa scene, Cloud City shots and Slave 1 screaming across screen the clean up of it all was great too
One of the changes that really bugged me was during the fight of Luke v Vader in Empire, the scream Vader makes when Luke puts the steam pipe in his face is repeated when Luke kicks Vader off the podium where in the original Vader makes a diff scream! Copying the same sound makes it cheap, so why mess with the original sound track there As for Jedi, not going there

Thanks again for a great show.
