Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are running an informal poll regarding a proposed exclusive for Entertainment Earth.  And this isn’t a ridiculous proposal that would require a huge tolling investment from Hasbro and never see the light of day.  This is totally plausible and is something Hasbro could do with no new tooling and would provide a value to a segment of collectors.

England, Iceland and now Morocco?  I don’t think clandestine intelligence agencies float out this much (mis)information.  It is now being reported that Episode VII principal photography will begin on May 14th in Morocco.

Our trusted dealer, Big Bad Toy Store has Wave 1 of the 2014 Black Series 3.75” line available for preorder.  The single Snowtrooper Commander was already sold out by the time I received the email.

The official YouTube channel posted a pretty fascinating featurette on the birth of the lightsaber which actually touches on the evolution of the combat styles.  Though when taking the prequel trilogy into account, you’d have to say it was a devolution first.

Okay Browncoats, breathe.  Breathe.  The site MovieViral is reporting that Captain Malcolm Reynolds himself is in talks for Episode VII and points out a pretty huge Easter Egg that J.J. Abrams dropped to that affect.

Update: My mother’s birthday is today, so for that reason, I never remember that it’s April Fools day.

Ukraine will hold presidential elections on May 25, and among the field of candidates hoping to lead the country out of turmoil, there is Darth Vader.  The Ukrainian Internet Party (UIP) announced over the weekend that it would be fielding the Dark Lord of the Sith as a candidate.

I remember when America used to be cool like this. But I’m not sure that Vader helmet is movie quality.

Our friends at Yakface has posted confirmation that the Darth Revan Lego mini-figure is Lego’s “May the Fourth” give-away promotion.  Click through for the details.

The official YouTube channel has released a trailer for Star Wars:  Assault Team, a turn based card game for iOS, Android and Windows devices.  The game seems vaguely reminiscent of The Bard’s Tale which was the greatest video game ever.  Emphasis on vaguely. 

The site Jezebel asks why the Slave Leia is the only Princess Leia toy available at Toys R Us and says it’s indicative of the sexism within geek culture.  Why do five seconds of research into the dozens of princess Leia figures produced since 1995 when you can be indignant now?  This is America, kids.  It’s better to be in the right than to be right.

Oh, and in the rare event those from Jezebel are reading this, while there may be no scantily clad Chewbacca figure on the market, there was a figure of Luke Skywalker in his underwear.  I know.  I know.  Research is hard, but getting indignant is so easy and makes you feel better than your fellow humans.

Forum moderator Big Jim decided to play along with our tongue in cheek Black Series “variants” and sent evidence of a Clone Pilot variant.

Boutros77’s dioramas are literally a work of art, I was lucky enough to review the Hero Booth.  Check out the pics and review.

I don’t like to beg for clicks, but I would really like to review more of these, and there is no way I will get spousal approval for the cash outlay unless this generates some good traffic for the site.  Any sharing of this would be much appreciated.

For your reading and viewing pleasure, check out our review and full gallery of Boutros77 Diorama - Hero Booth

I promise you that you will definitely want to check back after 6 AM tomorrow morning for a very special review.

Update:  It’s live now here.

Just how scientifically realistic are planets like Tatooine and Hoth which are dominated by a singled ecosystem?  The site The Escapist finally answers this important question.

A Czech Lego store has started selling a new Star Wars mini-figure, inadvertently revealing Lego’s next Star Wars polybag. Given the history with the 3.75” figure, why do I suspect this won’t end well for collectors.
