Star Wars day has more special events than I can keep up with.  If you spend $75 at Shop LEGO, you can get a free Darth Revan polybag figure.

To celebrate Star Wars Day, Sideshow Collectibles has made the highly anticipated R2-D2 1:6 scale figure which was recently previewed.  It comes in a price of $150 which is lower than was anticipated.  Given the premium the exclusive version of the premium format R2 fetches on the secondary market, don’t snooze on this 1:6 offering.  Click here to pre-order.

The Premium Format Episode VI Boba Fett and Episode V/VI Darth Vader are also previewed as part of the celebration.

I got a kick out of this, but I will Force punch the first person that requests a Ben Folds in Stormtrooper disguise figure.  Also Mark McGrath is still alive.  Good for him.

I wasn’t aware even aware that a Yoda was planned in the life-sized assortment.  This impressive figure is based on an Episode V likeness and due to the diminutive size, it’s the most affordable offering in the life-size platform. Click here to pre-order.

Hasbro’s worst kept secret has been revealed.  First official pics of the upcoming SDCC 2014 6-inch scale Black Series Jabba the Hutt are revealed on EW.com.  It’s an impressive piece, as is the packaging.

If you need a 21st century smoke break (read:  internet break) while at work today, I highly suggest taking a gander at this well written and informative article from Film School Rejects.  It’s part Hollywood history lesson and part Star Wars history lesson that really sheds light on the business of movie making today and the near 360 degree promotion of tent pole movies. Some of the links they provide are worth checking out too.

Sideshow has started their May the 4th celebration countdown by revealing the amazing life-sized Boba Fett figure.  It even sports some articulation at the head and the range finder is movable.  Click here to pre-order.

This news is so big that it’s actually crashing the official site (I’m not joking),  Many of the recent rumors have turned out to be true.

The site Deadline is reporting that Inside Llewyn Davis star Oscar Isaac is in line for a major role in Episode VII.  Star Wars fans probably know him best as Blue Jones from Sucker Punch.  Deadline also reveals a somewhat surprising degree of involvement from one of the Original Trilogy stars, someone we all thought would be seeking a minimal role in the next chapter.

Those of you who are on my friends list on XBox live know that I have a thing for the Lego video games.  It’s the open world freedom of those games that I love. The fact that there are rumors of an Arkham Asylum style Star Wars game in the offing give me nerd glad.
