I thought we had lost these forever, but it turns out they were just buried in a box deep in a closet in my house!

It's still wild to me that it took so long for TPM to make it to DVD. I remember it being a big deal when it came out on VHS (like a year later, lol) but even as an 11 year old I thought it was stupid that I couldn't watch it on my DVD player.

In TIL:

Bantha poodoo doesn't actually refer to bantha shit. Poodoo = fodder, which is a kind of food the creature eats.

Bantha fodder

Bantha fodder (Huttese: "bantha poodoo") was a slang term for a person deemed to have no value beyond something for a bantha to feed on.[2] It literally referred to food for banthas, which was known for having a terrible smell[3] and attracting stink-flies.[4] The term was also used as a synonym...

I learned this from KOTOR when you had to find/buy "bantha fodder" to lure some banthas to a cave opening to serve as bait for that dragon

I know We Got This Covered is usually/always bullshit but I would be morbidly curious to see Lucas' ideas for VII, VIII, and IX repurposed for some future project. Not necessarily movies but a D+ series could be interesting.

Hey all. It's been a minute since I've posted—between things going on in my personal life and everything happening in the world right now, it's been hard to take part in any of the talks here.

I apologize for the crummy phone pictures in advance (and for how big the pictures are), but I wanted to take a moment to share my ever-growing Hot Toys collection with you all. I've been collecting these for a few years now and they take up the majority of the space of my living room shelves. Still working on getting some lighting installed and there's several more figures on the way (Mando, Qui-Gon, Wicket, just to name a few) but it's a fun passion project and I can't wait to see where it goes.

That collection now awesome! Definitely a few pieces in there that I'm jealous of, including that Episode IV Obi. Hot Toys figures are really great, though I don't have many.

Thanks. That Obi-Wan was my very first Hot Toy and the collection's been growing from there. They're fantastic quality figures but I definitely had to cut back spending on other collectibles.

I'm basically this tweet but replace the candles with Hot Toys.

That's real life right there. That collection is really impressive, especially since you started with Obi. If I remember correctly, that release isn't that old. Hot Toys makes a great product though, I just haven't actually pulled the trigger on any of their Star Wars releases. I have a smattering of other figures and they've all been really nice.

I wanted to get a nice Star Wars display going, to compliment my lightsaber. Some choice 1/6 scale figures are high on the list of possibilities. The secondary market for them can be a little brutal though.

Watched a little Rise of Skywalker again last night. My goodness, the movie was so incredibly disappointing. The disappointment just gets worse and worse for me.

Aftermarket prices can really stink. Paid a little too much money for the TFA Han Solo at the time but it was worth it. Who are you thinking about getting?

Also forgot to mention: that lightsaber you posted earlier is incredible. Makes the one I have from Galaxy's Edge look like a cheap toy lol.

In a perfect world I'd get that ANH Obi, probably a Last Jedi Rey, some Kylo amalgam (I like his Force Awakens look best, but that figure didn't have an unmaksed head), an ROTJ Luke and probably the Solo Maul. I also really like that Leia and Wickett release that's coming up. I also really want a Clone Wars era Obi with the lightly armored look. That doesn't exist in any official capacity yet, but it'd be a day one.

Thanks for the kind words about my saber! Savi's was a front runner for me for a long time, I just couldn't make it mine enough and that's why I ultimately didn't do it. I still really like the Savi's stuff and I think the experience of doing it seems super cool. Also...I could have gone to Savi's enough times to get all the pieces for about what I paid for mine lol. I dumped all my insanity into one purchase.

Not 100% sure what aftermarket prices would be like for ANH Obi-Wan since he's an older figure... same with TFA Kylo. I think you can join a waitlist for TLJ Rey over on Sideshow's site but it's kind of a gamble whether someone cancels their order or not. Solo Maul looks great, currently have him on a payment plan.

An armored Obi-Wan isn't impossible, with them starting to do Clone Wars stuff with Captain Rex. Honestly I'd love to see them tackle characters from the games. Day one preorders for Iden Versio in her Inferno Squad gear and a Cal Kestis/BD-1 set...

Aftermarket Obi's of either flavor seem to hover between 4-500. I'm watching a couple now that are lower but bid only, so we'll see. Armored Obi is the dream, especially with them doing Clone Wars. I'd love to see a full Cad Bane too. There's so many characters across the Star Wars spectrum that I'd love to see get figures. Recanonize Dash Rendar and give me a black series or 1/6th scale figure lol.

Cal would be awesome too, I really liked his character. He'd also be fun to whip up custom stuff for since he had soany outfit options.

Random thought: have you considered the Mythos Obi-Wan figure from Sideshow? I got mine a few months ago and it's fantastic. It's a nice blend of Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness, and he comes with his Clone Wars armor (though I think it's attached to his backpack).

It's a quality figure that can really stand on its own in a collection, even if it isn't technically canon or movie-accurate. More like a fun "what-if" scenario or a time that we never saw between the films.

If you're interested, he's still in stock at Sideshow for $260 with free US shipping.

good thing Benredemption and others stepped in to set the record straight. I hate to bring personal beef into this, but I recognise the original source as someone with a history of spreading unsubstantiated rumours. The time a friend of mine got caught up in it a few months ago things got kind of nasty and personal. I'd block and not give any further engagement to this individual.

Oh wow it seems like the guy deleted the tweets after getting called out lol. (Edit: he actually made his account private)

Just stuff like "I know a guy who worked on TROS. Here's what happened."

Some of the things were like Collin wasn't able start to work on his IX until 6 months before TLJ because nobody would tell him anything which goes against what we know when his first draft was complete. Or he wanted to do so much with the Knights of the Ren to the point where he hired the guys that played them in VII when the IMDB page says the IX knights didn't work on VII.

Has anyone else stopped watching the content on the Youtube channel? I'd looked forward to watching the Star Wars Show each Wednesday but now with the new format and Corona, I realized I've stopped watching it. I can't even remember the last one I watched.
