WHAT WE DO

Here's our Top 10 lightsaber battles in a 20 minute video.

Did your favourites make the cut?

Lightsaber fights are a unique highlight of any Star Wars story and  over the last 45 years we have seen showdowns between every light and  darkside heavyweight across movies, animated shows and, more recently live action TV.

In this show, the Generation Skywalker Committee has gathered, along  with special guest Ian Trussler, to determine the all-time Top 10 duels.  

Looking at battles from the original trilogy, prequels, sequels and  TV shows, we cast our net wide for worthy combatants before voting to  decide the final 10.

Did your favourites make the list?

Delve into this audio debate here.

A video run-down of the Top 10 Star Wars toys that should have been made in 1977 – according the Generation Skywalker Committee. 

Beginning with a peek at what contemporary Star Wars collectibles the team has been buying, this episode of our modern collecting roundtable show takes a look at what happened when Generation Skywalker attended the recent London Film and Comic Con as part of the Star Wars Zone, as  well as exploring the supply, quality, packaging and price issues that are angering parts of the Hasbro collecting community. 

And of course we run through all the fresh releases from The Vintage  Collection, Black Series, Hot Toys, Lego, Funko and beyond. 

Where will Dan find the room for a 4 foot N1 Starfighter? Just how far will Jez's 'one from everything' rule extend? Will Stu be buying a pewter Fett bust for his mahogany panelled snooker room?

All the visuals, all in one place.

See all the collections discussed, websites referenced, deleted scenes debated and items examined – all from the comfort of one video browser.

A walrus, a rebel, a biker and a droid

With Jez, Stu and Craig along with collecting powerhouse and Star Wars community favourite, Lee Bullock forming the round table.

Alex Pardi joins us to talk all about his Cantina Collection, Ron Salvatore pops in to wax lyrical about his love of Walrus Man (and his collecting pet peeve). Andy Goulding talks 'Hoth Soldier' as part of his Rebel Soldier focus. (He says he's not a focus collector but he's fairly focused).  

We also discuss the Biker Scout and Pop-Up Lightsaber R2-D2, with the Variant Villain team (Mark Andrews, Will Mellish, Jamie Acott and Thomas John) joining the crew  throughout to run through the figure variants of each of the four chosen characters.

Is  this our most vintage figure focused podcast yet? It's certainly our longest episode but it's pure vintage and nothing else.

What does the vintage wild find of dreams look like?  Press play and see for yourself. 

From a complete Early Bird Kit and an untouched Action Display Stand mailer, to the most pristine SKU footer Stormtrooper you ever saw – this is more a drool-a-long than a watch-a-long.

This is the yard sale find of dreams. Join Jez, as he interviews lifelong  fan and collector Paul Jason who has recently managed to get himself an  incredible find of vintage Star Wars toys.   

Paul’s find gives everyone ‘A New Hope’ that the vintage we crave is  still out there to be found.

Lovingly crafted with clips from the show and interspersed with scenes and imagery from the entire saga, this enhanced podcast adds an extra dimension our Obi-Wan Kenobi review and discussion.

Re-live the highs and lows of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series with the  Generation Skywalker team as we sit down to discuss the entire six-part  story in one, in-depth, spoiler-filled show.  

We leave no force-lifted stone unturned as we get into the themes, fan  controversies and easter eggs, and breakdown what individual elements  really shone and what left some of us cold.  

Cross referencing IMDB ratings with our own social media polls, there’s a  general consensus, but not everyone on the team sees things the same  way.  

It was awesome to see Anakin and Obi-Wan go at it again, but have  lightsaber stabs lost their sting? Is there more to NED-B? And did the  discussion around Leia’s ladder need to have quite so much screen time?  Listen in and let us know your thoughts.

We always say that the vintage collecting hobby is a very visual thing, so here’s episode 14 of Those Old Fossils enhanced with over 400 individual images and video clips to bring this month’s Four Figure Focus to life. 

Can’t quite visualise a Ben Kenobi first shot? Couldn’t make out Dengar in the shadows of Jabba’s palace? Having trouble picturing an army of Klaatus? Want to see the original artwork for the Anakin cardback? 

We’ve got you covered.

Those Old Fossils – our vintage collecting show – is here with the first of our Four Figure Focuses. 

This month an incredible nine members of the global Star Wars community join Jez, Stu, Dan and Marc Hockley as they delve into: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dengar, Anakin Skywalker and everyone’s favourite peg warmer Klaatu.

Matt George drops in for a brilliant interview on his beloved Ben  Kenobi, giving some incredible insights to pre-production collecting. Jez discovers a brilliant Facebook Group dedicated to Klaatu (The Klaatorium – Star Wars Klaatu and Skiff Guard Memorial & Cocktail  Lounge) and interviews three of its most enthusiastic members: Paul James, Barry Lewton and Dave Moore. 

Ron Salvatore gives his brilliant take on Anakin Skywalker and Mark Andrews, Will Mellish and Jamie Acott from Variant Villains give the lowdown on each figure.

Lots of voices, lots of knowledge – all looking at these characters, action figures and the Beyond the Toys items that they inspired. Did we miss anything? Let us know and get involved.

Your pictorial guide to all the latest modern collectibles with some juicy video clips thrown in for good measure.

We’re back for our regular round-up of modern Star Wars toys and collectibles. And this time we have a special guest.  

Toy shop owner, event organiser and all-round fan ambassador, Dave Tree joins Dan and Jez to look at the new releases, as well as offering up some fascinating insights into the workings of Hasbro and the toy industry in general.  

This episode covers all the latest from our favourite licences and a few that have the team scratching their heads. What do we think to Haslab’s Reva Lightsaber project? How many retro prototype variants is too many retro prototype variants? And will anyone be ordering the £2k Lladro porcelain Vader?  

Dive in to find out and hear more about the Star Wars Fan Zone at London Film & Comic Con and where Generation Skywalker fits in to three exciting days at Olympia.

The enhanced version of our big Celebration celebration. Lots of clips, lots of exclusive footage. It's a bit like 'Celebration: The Movie'!

Experience our lovingly crafted rich media Attack of the Clones tribute as it was designed to be experienced.

Star Wars : Episode II : Attack of the Clones premiered 20 years ago today. 

We have been celebrating all month, but as an extra special treat we've also curated and assembled a collection of behind the scenes clips, archive news and TV footage into one mega tribute to a chapter in the Skywalker story that has sat too long in the shadow of more revered movies. 

Come with us back to 2002 for a journey across the stars. 

And back.

An episode exploring the Attack of the Clones creative campaign, concept work and fan art – it's shows like this that are the reason we enhance most of our podcasts.

In 1977 a Star Destroyer flew over our heads and the Hildebrandt brothers turned in an mesmerising poster to promote a new space fantasy movie. Star Wars has continued to push the limits of visual artistry on and off screen ever since.  

And Attack of the Clones was no exception.  

Stu, Jez and Craig go deep on this one, as they explore the marketing campaign – from the teaser poster and Drew Struzan's stunning artwork, to the unusual strategy and some of the clever tactics employed to encourage people around the world into cinemas.   

The team also look at the concept work of Doug Chiang and his team, examine the influence of Art Nouveau on the film and cherry pick some of the best licensed and unlicensed art inspired by the movie.  

Episode II? A missed opportunity to be brilliant?  

Not for Prequel and Attack of the Clones superfan Matthew Schoenfelder. 

Matthew joins Stuart to discuss why this film works for him and why he feels the need to defend the prequels on social media at every given opportunity. 

It's a refreshing discussion with a fan who sees the positives in ALL Star Wars, even if it's sometimes flawed.

(Unavailable as an enhanced video version.)

Pull up a chair, we're sticking the Clones DVD in our HD ready widescreen  surround sound TV.

Fair warning, we do plan to talk through it.

Join Stu, Jez, Craig and Dan for a big watch-along as we start to get into our special month of Attack of the Clones shows.  

As longtime fans who are heavily invested in Star Wars, what exactly does everyone think to this film? Which bits work and which bits don’t? And what tidbits of info have stayed lodged in our brains all these years?  

Consider this your formal invitation to hang out with the boys for 2 hours and 25 minutes as they candidly air their views in real time.

Setting the scene for our special Attack of the Clones months with some actual scenes from the movie, photos of what Stu, Jez, Craig and Dan looked like in 2002 and much more besides.

May 2002 saw the release of the second chapter in the Skywalker saga, and Episode II : Attack of the Clones instantly rocketed to the bottom of a lot of fans’ lists of their favourite five Star Wars movies.  

Its detractors are often quick to point at the bad dialogue, wooden acting and poor cgi, so why would Generation Skywalker dedicate a whole month to exploring a film most people are lukewarm about at best?  

Because we we are convinced there’s more too it – things we’ve maybe missed and elements that certainly deserve closer examination with the hindsight of 20 years.  

So join us as we set the the scene, with this short episode to kick-off 31 days of shows, unboxings and social posts that will explore the best and worst of the movie and its legacy.  

Think you know Attack of the Clones? 

Think again.

We talk about it, you get to see it on screen. 

And there's always lots to watch in the enhanced versions of our modern roundtables.

Our modern collecting shows are always crammed with news and reviews of the latest Star Wars collectible releases – and this one is no exception. 

We have all the latest on Hasbro’s Star Wars licence renewal, a watch of the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer, a look at how recent TV shows are affecting the prices of older toys, thoughts on our freshly landed Razor Crests and of course, a run down of what’s new from Hasbro, Lego, Sideshow and all the other things we like to chat about.  

So join us to hear Mark get nerdy over Nerf, Stu get geeky about new tikis, Craig get a teeny bit excited for tiny toys and for Dan's hot take on Hot Toys stands.  This is the Modern Way.

Packed with footage taken at Echo Base Live, this enhanced version of our round-up is great for those who want to re-live the event and essential for those who missed it!

The UK's premier Vintage Collecting show returns after a two year hiatus.

Stuart, Grant, Jez, Mark and Dan sit down to reminisce about previous events and as they discuss highlights, purchases, social stories amongst other things, the excitement for the return of the show can be heard in all their voices.

Dave Tree, Mr Farthest From himself, joins us to discuss the origins of the event, his personal highlights and what to expect from this one – whilst Dave Shorter, Marc Hockley and Jason Smith all drop by to share their memories too.

(Unavailable as an enhanced video version.)

What good is a gift guide without the images?

Not only is this episode a visual feast, it's also  Stuart's first crack at a visual edit and it's transition-tastic!

Buying  Christmas gifts for the Star Wars fan in your life gets harder each  year, so here's the team to help make the task easier this festive  season.

Breaking  the guide down into four age ranges – Pre-School (up to 5), Primary (6-11), Teenage/Secondary (11-17) and Adult (17+) we are offering up give three main gift ideas (over £25), three stocking fillers (under £25) and a left field item, whilst also revealing the best places to purchase things and the current price you'd expect to pay.

Although the team do get a litte distracted with a nostalgia trip over video rental shops and the Kays and Argos catalogues.

From  the hottest gifts on the market to creative fun items – there is something for everyone in this fun filled festive Star Wars guide.

Sometimes, our enhanced podcasts are close to being two-hour long documentaries – this is one of those times.

Crammed full of stills and footage of everything from the often overlooked Droid Factory winch, to rare cardbacks, it's also a treat for illustration fans, with lots of fabulous artwork by

Arnaldo Putzo, Brian Bolland and Frank Langford.

This episode of Those Old Fossils takes some deep dives into specific  topics – Grant looks at focus collecting, with reference to his own TIE  Fighter Pilot focus, Jez explores the vintage Droid Factories and their legacy, Craig's new blog has made him very nerdy about Look-In  magazines, and Mark runs through the evolution of Star Wars Palitoy ads of the 70s and 80s. 

It’s a packed show that also takes time to discuss Mark’s recent  appearance on Toyshop On Tour, Jez raises the confusing issue of historical toy line classification and we have a little look at our  plans for December’s Farthest From.

When it comes to a podcast talking about visual art, of course we are going to recommend you check out the enhanced version. 

All of Darren's paintings are here and much more besides. 

Songwriter, musician and artist Darren Hayman sits down with Craig to talk about how the re-discovery of his childhood Star Wars figures has inspired a new set of paintings, some tentative steps into collecting and his first ever attendance at a Comic Con. 

From his beginnings with much-loved indie band, Hefner, to a solo career that has seen him bring his enquiring mind and unique creative perspective to everything from open air swimming pools to the Essex witch trials, Darren’s latest project sees him tapping into the magic of vintage Star Wars. 

Join us for a tale of action figures loved, lost and found again, Darren's memories of experiencing Star Wars in the UK in the mid 70s, his thoughts on the success of The Mandalorian, and discover how he is adapting his painting style to produce work that not only captures the look of his old figures, but their spirit too. 

It's work made with acrylics and a lot of love.

See all the old EU characters as we discuss them and have a look at just what is going on with those Shadows of the Empire Topps cards, in this enhanced version of the Book Month 2021 round-up show.

Join Stu, Craig and Jez as they look back on all the highlights of Book Month 2021, which this year featured Becca Benjamin, Brian Cameron, Mark Mulcaster and Stephane Faucourt.

Has a month of shows focused on Star Wars literature influenced the team?  What has Stu been buying? What has Jez got on his reading list? Just how much sex and violence is portrayed on Craig’s new Shadows of the Empire trading cards?   

The  answers are all here, plus there’s a blow-by-blow recap of our Eulogising Legends knockout competition, exploring which Legends  characters you think are worth bringing back into future Star Wars movies, TV shows, books and comics. 

Things get tense and friendships are tested as Craig reveals the ultimate winner of the nail-biting final.

Yeah, we had to look-up some of these obscure book and comic figures too!

Don't worry though, they are all collated here in this enhanced podcast so you can watch along.

This edition of The Modern Way celebrates the crossover of modern Star  Wars toys and literature.

The boys get together to count down a top ten of figures inspired by the  books and comics from the Star Wars galaxy, including a nostalgic look  back at the Shadows of the Empire line from the 90s.

From Mouse  and Princess Leia in her areobics wear, to the heavy metal stylings of  Nom Anor, it's a fun look at some of the more obscure toys from the  modern era.  Join in and see exactly which figures got the team all excited and  straight onto eBay.

Have a peek inside the pages of Stephane's new book 'The Legendary Advertisements 1978-1985' in this enhanced video version of Show 053.

Click on this watch-along version of our second trailer show and see all the trailers as we discuss them, in real time, all in one place.

The audio version is there for you to enjoy too, but with a show like this, the video version comes into its own.

If there was a shortcut to a Star Wars master's degree, this episode could be the primary dissertation and a really enlightening and enjoyable one at that.  

Take your seats with the Generation Skywalker crew as they conduct a deep dive analysis of the Prequel trailers from the very first teaser for The Phantom Menace, to the hidden ‘mystery’ trailer for Attack Of The Clones and the arguably show-all spoiler trailer for Revenge Of The Sith.  

Add in a selection of fan-made trailers and you have the full set. Jez is joined by Grant, Craig, Stu and Dan to dissect the trailers and give everyone a new hope for the prequels. This will make you want to rewatch them all! Seriously.

If you want to see all the beer can designs as we discuss them, plus clips  from all the sketches and ads mentioned and images of all the toys we  talk about... watch this.

If that doesn't tempt you, there are a few behind the scenes photos from the live recording too.

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.

There's an audio version of this show available, but to really get the best out of this discussion we recommend you give the video a watch.

Every trailer referenced is collated here, along with a few bonus extras.

Jez guides the team through a look-back at the cinema trailers of the  Original Trilogy, in the first of a three-part series exploring how the  promotion of the Star Wars saga has changed through the years.  

From the cheese fests of the 70s, through to the current trailers on Disney+ – we start our journey with a palette-cleansing sample of big  movie trailers from 1977, before moving on to the very first Star Wars  teaser.  

Join us as we discuss how the art of the trailer has grown from editing a  few clips with some stand-in music and a voiceover, to the kind of thing  that has halls full of people crying real tears at Star Wars Celebration.

What's a review of something without pictures?

Click  this video to watch along as we chat about new announcements and recent  releases, check out highlights from the GeekiTiki livestream and see just  how cool Mark's prints look in Jez's new triple frame.

From Mandalorian pinball machines to Aztec-inspired Bobas – as Star Wars merch continues to come thick and fast, we explore all the latest  announcements from Hasbro, Hot Toys, Funko and many more – including a special peek at what went down on the GeekiTikis May the 4th Livestream.  

The team discuss what they’ve been buying and offer up some in-hand reviews of the Mando Retro Collection and the Tantive IV corridor, we  take a look back at the Gentle Giant jumbo vintage figures and give a shout out to Misao Soaps & Candles – the independent makers we are  championing with our competition this month.  

Jez’s trip to the framers inspires a more in-depth showcase of Mark’s  creative work, we discuss the #TimeforTonnika campaign and Stu unearths a  decade old copy of SFX magazine which features a very fresh-faced member of the Generation Skywalker team.

At just under 2 hours and 50 minutes, this is our longest show yet and the accompanying enhanced version is suitably epic.

Have a look at our cherry-picked lots from the Dave Prowse auction, see our cherished items behind our collecting stories and join Craig for his detailed examination of on-screen weapons and accessories.

It's well worth a look.

Join Stuart, Mark, Craig and guest host Marc Hockley for a packed vintage show.

The boys celebrate the life of John Kellerman and look at the impact his book 'Star Wars Vintage Action Figures' had on our hobby. We also review some of the choice lots from the David Prowse Estate Auction taking place on May 4th.

The team share some collecting stories, one of which features the unique perspective of Ali Martin, whose chance discovery of a rare Helix item led him into the world of high-end vintage collectibles.

After last month's movie-led loose line-up, Craig returns to examine just how accurate Kenner's accessory allocations were. The team also breakdown the last 17, with a close look at each figure and an exploration of prices and how they've risen vastly over the years. Is the £2.5k that is often offered as the going price on social media accurate?

We also take a look back at Episode 8 of Those Old Fossils and explain where we will be taking the reproduction conversation next.

Watch along and see all the new announcements as we discuss them. 

The gorgeous photography that Hot Toys do to accompany their new announcements is always worth a look, but in addition to that, this enhanced show also features video footage of The Sounds of Star Wars book and a whole bunch of digitally enhanced shots of the Micro Machines line through the years.

Stuart, Dan, Grant and Jez settle in for this month's 'The Modern Way’.

As usual, there are lots of new announcements, so join us for closer looks at the new Black Series comic-inspired figures, The Vintage Collection, Lego and the latest GeekiTikis rumours, as well as a big old love-fest for the new Hot Toys releases of Boba Fett and Bo Katan.

Since the last show, Gina Carano has been fired from her role in The Mandalorian, so we take stock of the latest prices of Cara Dune merchandise, explore the Hasbro Pulse UK news with regards to their Fan Fest on April 9th and also what the company is considering to reduce the amount of plastic they use to package toys.

Dan takes us through his recent blog on Micro Machines, as the boys reminisce about the 90s and Galoob's part in the Star Wars Universe (and yes we are aware it is Galoob, even though the author of the blog often refers to them as Galoop!).

As well as all this, we have potato tent pegs, Formula One predictions, toys in the Star Wars movies and a wonderful Rey print from the brilliant Nerd Head Designs, which you could win by heading over to the We Are Generation Skywalker community page on Facebook.

Generation Skywalker are delighted to welcome Zia Rezvi to the show to discuss his collecting habits and history.

Zia sits down with Stuart to explore what he calls his 'three phases of collecting'.  

Phase 1 (1977–1983) – books, magazines, scrapbook, trading cards and stickers. Phase 2 (1994–2005) – Topps trading cards, vintage and modern. Phase 3 (2011–present) – Vintage Toy Collecting.  

The pair also discuss Zia's background – from seeing the movie in Belgium on release, to his five favourite runs in his collection. Some beautiful items and some wonderful tales.

Back during May's episode of 'Those Old Fossils', Jez made the statement: "Give me a quiz on the original trilogy movies and I'd pan the lot of you".

And so here we are to see if his arrogant boast can be backed up.

Jez takes on Craig, Grant and guest Marc Hockley as they go head-to-head in Classic Original Trilogy Trivial Pursuit.  

Join in and answer the questions before they do and see how you get on.

Will Jez deliver?  Will Grant send that email to Parker Brothers?  Will Craig answer a question with something other than 'Princess Leia'?  Is Marc Hockley really there to make up the numbers (according to Jez)?

Listen in and find out.

Marvel at images of Mark as a young child and a teenager!

It's all here in the enhanced version of Those Old Fossils Episode 7.

Grant, Mark, Craig and Stuart settle down to discuss vintage Star Wars with a focus on the state of the hobby at the end of a horrendous 2020.

With the pandemic hitting hard, unemployment on the rise and uncertainty around when all this will end, the team admit that they all thought the hobby would take a battering over the year, but with prices spiralling out of control, how wrong they were.

The boys look back at some of the stand-out auctions from 2020 – from C&T Auctions early lockdown Palitoy-heavy sale, through to the final ever Astons auction – delving into the highlights and looking at some of the insane prices certain items went for. 

Are current market values actually sustainable? It's a hot topic that gets some great discussion flowing.

This YouTube video really is the format we'd recommend to watch this particular episode.

Go on... watch it along with us. You know you want to.

Following on from our Holiday Special 'Special', Dan, Craig, Stuart and Jez get together to watch the Holiday Special in it's entirety. 

What new insights and observations will they offer up?  

At the time of recording, none of them have watched it for many years  (apart from Jez who made his wife watch it just 24 hours before!) and we're inviting you to listen along to their reactions as they happen.  

There's even a little bit of post show analysis as they each give it a  rating out of ten. Will there be high scores all round? Or will there be  detractors?  

The perfect companion to SHOW 030.

Experiencing The Star Wars Holiday Special with your ears is one thing – actually witnessing it with your own eyes is another thing entirely.

This enhanced version fuses clips from the much maligned 1978 TV special with stills and other material to bring our indepth overview to life.

"It makes us smile, but only because we are laughing at the utter  horror. We laugh to avoid the pain." – Mark Beall  

"Words have not been invented to describe how bad it is." – Alex Carter  "

We could go on, but is The Star  Wars Holiday Special really as bad as its reputation? Jez, Craig and Stuart to try to answer that question as they look into variety shows of the time, the plot, the music, the cast, crew and much more.

The boys also draw up their own Holiday Specials for a post-Force Awakens Disney release – Will Poe and BB-8 deliver salt from Crait to the Resistance to save Christmas Dinner? Will the 60 minute makeover team be able to rebuild Maz's castle? Will Han Solo's send off be as  crazy as Ackmena using a conga to clear a Cantina? Listen in and decide  for yourselves.

Some people like to listen to our shows whilst driving, or walking the dog, or dodging covidiots in the supermarket, and that's great – our regular podcasts have got you covered.

But if you're at home and want to occasionally glance up to see what we are talking about, stick this enhanced version on your telly or other device. It'll save you Googling 'Tiki Farm George Lucas mug'.

Continuing our run of shows for the festive season, Generation Skywalker brings you the latest edition of 'The Modern Way'.

Once again the team covers all the latest announcements, as we see yet more reveals for the Black Series and Vintage Collection lines – though the majority of this month's love is directed at the Hot Toys Tusken Raider and the four new Episode One Tiki Mugs.

Keeping with a  seasonal theme, we delve into the world of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments and discuss our favourite ever Christmas related figures, along with a look forward to what we're hoping to see in 2021.

What's better than an audio guide to Star Wars beer? 

How about a guide where you can watch along and see all the cool can and bottle designs as we discuss them? Give this a whirl on YouTube and discover some great tasting (and great looking) beers.

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.

Is your Hoth Leia missing a blaster? Don't worry, she didn't have one in  the movie either! Join Craig for a look at just how movie accurate the  accessories given to vintage Star Wars figures really were.

Craig goes against convention and arranges his display of vintage figures 'from a certain point of view'.

Jez takes the team back to 2002 for another watch of the original trailers for Attack of the Clones.

A wild find for Jez leads to closer look at the phenomenon of European action figure 4-packs.

Discover the wacky world of vintage 'lianhuanhua' comics – they are Star Wars, but not as you know it.

A random eBay find of unused concept art prompts Craig to look  into its history in the context of other vintage colour-in posters.

In 2020, a garage crammed with bin bags full of vintage toys were left to an elderly couple in their neighbour's will. Mark runs through the find and the resulting auction.

A quick history of tiki culture, Disney's long association with the movement and why its crossover with Star Wars is something to  celebrate.
