For me, I rewatched rogue one and really loved the veterans portrayal of the death troopers. I picked up a pair off eBay…and saw the inside of Pandora’s box as you can see🤣

Which do you prefer, canon or legends? Also what is your favourite aspect or project within that canon?

After all these years, I finally fulfilled a childhood dream and now have all the astromechs from D-Squad. As you can tell, I painted M5-BZ myself since I’m not waiting around for a release of him that’ll come out god knows when. It was my first time doing brush paint, and now I can safely say I prefer using paint markers and spray paint lol. I also snapped a photo of all my custom droids together, thought they looked cool!

It's 25 x 39, no border, mounted on heavy board backing. Nothing on back.

Never collected the original trilogy collection but couldn’t pass up Mr. Lucas

I recently picked these absolute beauties. I’d never even knew they existed until now.

They’re 1997 Japanese ‘Tereka’ phone cards that would typically be pre-paid for public pay phones.

Pop culture took over and everything and anything was slapped on them, including Star Wars!

Wall mounts and all parts on the displays were designed by me and 3D printed, found the lightsabers online and the red and green "blades" are 3/4 EMT conduit.

Shortly after Episode I dropped, my buddy sold me this Pepsi display case filled with every character can from this promotion (no gold can however). The cans are empty but the pop-tops are sealed. Display case is a durable feeling steel maybe?

Also willing to sell if anyone sends serious offer

A friend of mine recently purchased these figures and is wondering about the authenticity of the pop-up light sabers and the vinyl cape Jawa.

If the sabers look authentic, are they a correct match for their R2?

I did let him know that it would be helpful to have more photos of both the Jawa and the sabers, but this is all he could send for now. Any help is greatly appreciated!

My PC games from the 90s.

Man some absolute memories here. I need to, at some point, put my gamecube, n64, and xbox games together..

This R2-D2 sold at auction in 2017 for an incredible $2.76 million (£2.13m).
But here’s what makes it interesting for us life-size builders: this isn’t one complete R2-D2 that rolled straight off a Star Wars set.
A British collector spent years assembling it from original production and film-used R2 components from different movies.
The dome is an original A New Hope Kenny Baker hero dome, the legs were made for The Empire Strikes Back, other components were used through the original trilogy, the body was made for The Phantom Menace, and the rear hatch was used in Attack of the Clones.
Even one of the feet was production-made but apparently never actually used during filming.
I don’t know how legacy was proven and clearly there are builders club parts on this droid, I do wonder is it more builders club replica parts or more ‘film production’ parts…

So the $2.76m R2 is effectively the ultimate full-size R2 build assembled from genuine Star Wars production parts and club parts — rather than one intact screen-used droid.
And that’s something I love about this hobby: the line between the original prop makers and today’s R2 builders is sometimes much closer than people realise.
Would you rather own this… or build your own screen-accurate R2? For me I built my own but almost 3 mil … yeah ill take this one 😁
