A long time ago, in a retail store not that far away, there sat an Airfix model of the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer. And I wanted it. Back then, I was a Star Wars devotee long before it became the global pop-culture monolith it is today. I was also a keen model maker - mostly assembling the very earliest White Dwarf and Warhammer kits. But the Airfix Star Destroyer - that was the dream kit. The Holy Grail.

If you make a lot of your purchase decisions based on nostalgia, you're not going to want to miss these great deals on Bop It! toys from Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale.

In total there are 732 pieces, with each figure measuring over 2.5 inches high, 1.5 inches wide, and 2 inches deep. Each has its own baseplate, and some have their own accessories like young Anakin's hammer and Darth Maul's double-bladed red lightsaber. Once built, these unique collectible figures are more displayable than playable, and make great decorations or conversation pieces.

After the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm, none of the previous Star Wars books would be considered canon, and instead would be relegated to the status of "Legends." Like Palpatine dissolving the senate offscreen, the Expanded Universe or "EU" of Star Wars was suddenly obliterated. But, then again, George Lucas never fully considered the EU to be true canon. Rather, he let the writers of those pre-2014 books and comics take all sorts of liberties.

Darth Vader's lightsaber is about to become someone's prized possession. It's up for auction alongside a bunch of other iconic movie props, as spotted earlier by The New York Times. The auction is hosted by the memorabilia company Propstore, and it estimates that Vader's lightsaber will fetch anywhere from $1 million to $3 million. Darth Vader had this weapon in hand in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983).

The absence of recognition for any of Andor's lead performers is a war crime of galactic proportions. None of Andor's stars are nominated in any of the major acting categories.

When I saw the movie, I had a great time watching it. Again, this is all about point of view. I never approach this as, like, a territory I'm carving out for my thing.

Kenneth Colley, a character actor, captured audience attention for over 60 years in roles such as Admiral Piett in Star Wars and Jesus in Life of Brian.

Celia Imrie's role as Mrs Quickly in the movie is entertaining, showcasing her ability to add humor to a broadly characterized performance, despite the film's flaws.

The Acolyte is a rare Star Wars story that sheds a more scrutinous light on the Jedi Order, and 'Night' doubled down on that premise by allowing the Stranger to mow down the show's most stalwart heroes.
