May the 4th Be With You! (Random Star Wars Talk)
98dgreen:
Just watched Episode IX. I was surprised that it was significantly worse then Episode VIII. After having seen all the Star Wars I can now order them from best to worst. Rouge One>Return of the Jedi>Empire Strikes Back>Star Wars>Revenge of the Sith>Phantom Menace>Force Awakens>Solo>Last Jedi>Rise of Skywalker>Attack of the Clones

I still find it hard to enjoy the new stuff, as besides all the other gripes with VII-IX, I'm just not feeling the spark of excitement when it comes to the new stuff. So, instead I've mainly been focusing on filling out my Legends library, by picking up the remaining books as I whittle down my reading backlog. I'm also focusing on getting some of the older toys, not the original original stuff, but more the things I never got when I was younger.
What's really on my radar right now is the Lego UCS A-Wing, which is just gorgeous, but I need to hold back, as I just got the ISS set and Cobi's Battleship Yamoto set, so I need to get those done first.

While Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker are messes story wise, I did enjoy Rogue One, Solo, and of course Mandalorian quite abit, alongside Fallen Order, so I've been pretty satisfied with Star Wars lately. I liked Skywalker a lot more than Last Jedi, even if it's the messier film story wise, mostly just for the action and scifi stuff, that's all good, it's story is just bad trying to stuff 2 movies worth of content into one film to make up for Last Jedi.
I've been tempted to grab a nice Star Wars lego set myself, I haven't had lego's in years just because the nice sets are very costly, but been thinking of looking around for something lately, just not sure what.

I still can't find the Mandalorean figure, maybe one day I'll find it like how I found a masked Kylo out of the blue ;D
I have a few set up recently too, I should take some pics when I'm free.

I missed the first wave on the Mando, so I basically sat on a pre-order for new stock with it for months till I finally got it in. I'm waiting for the little Baby Yoda to ship right now. I mostly just need a couple particular figures at the moment for my set, like I'm not trying to hard for Clone Wars era stuff, I was never the biggest fan of their design, though the moment they release a Republic Commando, I'll be there to buy any and every one they release lol

I agree, I'm not a fan of the Clone War Era stuff either, so I only have a select few of the Black Series. Here's what I have setup at the moment, the black R2-D2 is actually R2-Q5 from a Japanese collectible company - Kotobukiya.
Baby Yoda sounds like a fun little figure to have, heh ;D I have a few more bounty hunters like IG-88, Bossk and Greedo but didn't display them since I'm running out of room on my Star Wars Shelf :'(
Happy Collecting!

If you want a good looking one that's not too costly (~$50-60), I'd suggest the Resistance Y-Wing or one of the helmet replicas.
