Good news for fans of LEGO Star Wars and loyal fans of the original trilogy. The adorably ferocious furball known as Ewoks that dwell on the forest moon of Endor (specifically in Bright Tree Village) has been given the brick treatment. Once again, LEGO took on the challenge of turning […]
We sure did not see this coming, but I suppose it is good news for fans of LEGO Star Wars—especially for those who missed the LEGO Star Wars Imperial AT-ST (10174) from 2006. Folks, meet the LEGO Star Wars AT-ST Walker (75417), the second LEGO AT-ST “UCS” set. Set for […]
I know we have hopped onto the time machine many times, bringing you news from the past. I promise you this isn’t something we picked up while traveling in a DeLorean Time Machine. After the success of its 3D-printed twist-to-Fwwsshhh-VMMM! saber on Kickstarter last year, the team is back, clearly […]

LEGO and Hasbro aren’t the only ones having a field day thanks to Star Wars Celebration. Japanese audiophile brand Audio-Technica clearly wants in on the galactic action too. So, it took its pride and joy—the ATH-CKS50TW2 true wireless earbuds—and gave them the full Star Wars treatment. Not one, not two, […]
Let’s be honest: in the Star Wars universe, Tusken Raiders are right up there with Jawas on the list of characters who really need to chill. You roll through Tatooine, minding your business, and bam—someone’s taking potshots at your droids. But here’s the twist: Hasbro’s new Star Wars The Vintage […]
