We are Generation Skywalker - And so are you!

[Mini99]

Good evening to my fellow Star Wars Forum members. It's been a while.

What has happened?
Most people in the collecting community will be aware of the devastating loss of our absolute workhorse 'Craig Spivey'. Craig was a huge part of the team, who dedicated so much of his precious time to enhancing our shows, putting together our wonderful swag and enlightening us with his observations and knowledge of the wider collecting world, beyond the toys. Craig passed away in February after long and private battle with cancer. He was an absolute gent. Craig's last wish to us all in Jan Mary was for the podcast to continue, even though we had lost the desire to continue without him. Several other members of the team were also hugely distracted with their own personal issues in early 2024, which has turned out to be a really awful year so far. My dog died 3 days before Craig and my father passed away in March, so I had no desire to get recording. However, we're back. It's taken us a while to get back on the horse but we're back.


And a good evening to you too @Jez

I was sorry to hear of your troubled year, fingers crossed it will get better.

The latest "Old Fossils" has been down loaded and will go down well on my trips out.

Thanks to you all.

Hello there you vintage crackheads, it's been a while. Following on from Jez's last post, Generation Skywalker has been under going a resurgence the last few months, with 4 Those Old Fossils show released so far this year- 2 episodes of our Palitoy Guide and a recent episode entitled Those Old Fossils Get Hammered where we talk auction houses and the recent Star Wars themed auctions at C&T, Vectis and Oberon.

But today we've put out our first vintage figure focus show in over 2 years. Details below, hope you enjoy it. Any feedback appreciated and any thoughts on the content or our planned IG-88 follow up show would be welcome.

*****NEW SHOW*****

THOSE OLD FOSSILS EPISODE 24:
THE BOUNTY HUNTER CAPTURE POD PART 1 BOSSK

Generation Skywalker makes a long overdue return to vintage Star Wars figure focus episodes. Over the next few months we'll be releasing a series of shows covering each of the bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back and the infamous scene onboard Darth Vader's Star Destroyer.

To kick off The Bounty Hunter Capture Pod, in this first part we're hunting all things Bossk. We discuss the character, the figure, the card back, the mail-away offer, the multipacks, beyond the toys items and much, much more.

Ron Salvatore from the The SWCA is back for another Rebel Alliance briefing and blows our tiny little minds with a Bossk shaped knowledge bomb. Mark Andrews from The Variant Villains also joins us to talk fat lips and toxic limbs.

It's a Bossk bonanza, full of information, observations and a few laughs along the way. Jez's Bossk impersonation alone makes episode an essential listen.
