“It is your destiny.
Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.” What an epic twist! Darth Vader’s reveal that he is Luke’s father is among the most famous scenes in the Star Wars saga, and is (mis)quoted to this day: Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-WanContinue reading ““It is your destiny.”
‘I’m a Mandalorian. Weapons are a part of my religion.’
#thisistheway … I love The Mandalorian’s silver beskar armour – this is one of my favourite minifigures and I have featured it several times already. Introduced earlier this year, to date it is only available with the LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian set 75299 Trouble on Tatooine. Behind the Scenes I enjoy sharing a lookContinue reading “‘I’m a Mandalorian. Weapons are a part of my religion.’”
‘Hello. I don’t believe we’ve been introduced…
… I am C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations’ … In the real world, C-3PO needs no introduction. This particular minifigure version was released in 2016, and has appeared in 11 LEGO sets to date. The silver protocol droid, however, is unique: U-3PO was only available in the Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016 (Day 16). Apart from colour,Continue reading “‘Hello.

Han Solo, the original space cowboy
Change my mind. #spacecowboysaturday … There are currently 47 different LEGO minifigure versions of Han Solo – I wonder if this is the most for any character? The version that I used here with dark blue legs, vest with pockets, and (normally) wavy hair has appeared in four sets: 75159 Death Star – UCS (releasedContinue reading “Han Solo, the original space cowboy”
Hi, it’s the 80s calling.
#tbt to my favourite retro bounty hunter. But that brick cell phone… ugh. #throwbackthursday … Today’s vintage minifigure is Boba Fett – Classic Grays, circa 2000-2003, from either the Star Wars set 7144 Slave I or 4476 Jabba’s Prize. (we have both, and I’m not sure which one this is from). The monstrosity of aContinue reading “Hi, it’s the 80s calling.”

Who goes there?
For #troopertuesday I’m featuring a pair of Imperial Sandtroopers. Sandtroopers are a specialized type of Stormtrooper, trained and equipped to operate on desert worlds such as Tatooine, Jakku, and Jedha. Their armour is upgraded with cooling fans, helmets with sand filters, and they carry survival backpacks with extra rations and water. We first saw SandtroopersContinue reading “Who goes there?”

Behind Enemy Lines
Shot down by rebel scum, and with their searchlights getting closer, the TIE Fighter pilot abandons his wrecked starfighter and slips into the night. He wonders: did the distress beacon signal get out? … Earlier this year, I was glad to see LEGO release this icon from the classic Star Wars trilogy – the soundContinue reading “Behind Enemy Lines”
