091 : LETRASET STATIONERY ORIGINAL ARTWORK DISCOVERY (Video)

We've not done a 'This Morning' style sofa show before, so have a look and see how the format suits us.


It's a good way to get a closer look at these beautiful pre-production pieces, but there's also a more in-depth blog here if you'd like to go even deeper.

091 : LETRASET STATIONERY ORIGINAL ARTWORK DISCOVERY (Video)

If ever there were Star Wars items Craig and Mark dreamed of turning up, it would be these.   

Listen in on this special one-off sofa chat as they discuss the pre-production find of their lives – from stumbling on an auction  listing that seemed too good to be true and building a war chest, to some tense phone bidding and ultimately taking delivery of some of the most amazing original Star Wars art of the vintage era. 


It's a candid conversation that explores how connected they are to these items on more levels than just childhood nostalgia, and an opportunity for you to hear about the artwork in more detail.


This represents a landmark discovery for the hobby and a very personal  achievement for two incredibly passionate collectors. Some things are  meant to be.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but if you watch the enhanced version of our Aftermath chat, you can at least see all the images we reference. 


It's worth a watch for the beautiful Brazilian covers alone.

051 : THE AFTERMATH TRILOGY with MARK MULCASTER & BRIAN CAMERON (Enhanced Podcast)

The Aftermath books tell the 'official' story of what happened after  Return of the Jedi. And for Book Month 2021, we've invited Mark  Mulcaster and Brian Cameron from Fantha Tracks to join Stuart and Craig  to take a closer look at the trilogy.


From the general story arc  and key characters, to the cover designs and the initial reaction of  fans and detractors – it’s a series of books that divided opinion at the  time, but how do they stand up six years and three sequel films later?

It's time for another beer show, and our drinks expert Kimberley is back from the bar with another round for us all to try.  

Featuring Star Wars-themed beers from S43, Full Circle, Fallen Acorn, Northern Monk, J Wakefield and new offerings from Brew York and Original Stormtrooper Beer, there’s plenty for the team to sniff, taste and appraise as they collectively discuss the Mos Eisley Cantina and its various appearances in toys and other media through the years.  


It's a big old Generation Skywalker extended family get together, with the regular team joined by Lee Bullock, Marc Hockley, Emma Burgess and Stu’s son Toby.  

Recorded live in Stuart’s garden, what the recording occasionally lacks in clarity, it makes up for in good vibes.

Beer and Star Wars – they are more connected than you might think. Welcome to the first ever Generation Skywalker Beer Show.


Stuart, Craig, Jez, Dan and Mark are joined by beer expert Kimberley Owen, who takes us through a tasting of five Star Wars themed beers from Moor Beer, Tiny Rebel, Brew York and Original Stormtrooper breweries. She really knows her stuff and takes the boys out of their  comfort zones, as she teaches them how to appreciate what they are  drinking. We learned a lot, you might too.


Between drinks, Craig takes us through his latest blog post,  which looks at drinking culture as portayed in the movies, TV shows and  expanded universe, as well as a tour of Star Wars-themed beers from  around the world, while the team suggests suitable ways of storing,  serving and enjoying your beers.

It's  five years after Return of the Jedi: the Rebel Alliance has destroyed  the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the   remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the  galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi twins.   And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi   Knights.
 

In 1991, Star Wars burst back into  fans' lives with the release of the Timothy Zahn novel, Heir To The  Empire, which began the start of a trilogy of books, affectionately  known as 'The Thrawn Trilogy'.  


Stuart  and Craig are joined by Mark Mulcaster and Mark Newbold to discuss this  books and the impact they had on the Star Wars Universe.  Join us as we  reminisce about characters old  and new, a plot which perhaps should  have been the sequel trilogy on screen and just how much these books  changed the Star Wars landscape.
