Star Wars never fails to provide backstories for all of its characters, even the ones who are on screen for a second or two. Well, now thanks to Jim Benton, we have a backstory for the creature being milked by Luke Skywalker on Ahch-To in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Lucasfilm has released a new TV spot for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and it has some cool new footage! Like Luke Skywalker walking into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon for instance. And is that Rey raising her lightsaber against Luke Skywalker? That’s not going to end well. Probably just clever editing. The excitement continues to build.
Before Starlord, Groot, Rocket and the rest were protecting the galaxy to an awesome soundtrack, there was Luke, Han, Leia, Chewy and Yoda. The Original Guardians Of The Galaxy Far, Far Away…
This one really cracked me up. This Star Wars Hoth Pendulum Clock has a swinging Luke Skywalker as the pendulum. It recreates the scene in the Wampa monster’s cave with Luke swinging back and forth, never quite getting that lightsaber to escape. It captures the scene perfectly and suspends it in time.
We only got a brief glimpse of Luke Skywalker in The Force Awakens, but boy did he own that scene. Now Hot Toys has unveiled their Luke Skywalker Sixth Scale Figure and it is amazing as usual, capturing every detail of actor Mark Hamill in that iconic moment.
The Luke Skywalker Sixth Scale Collectible Figure specially features:

Maybe we will see a scene like this in Star Wars: Episode VIII. I can see that happening. Luke has to train Rey, and lightsaber building is a pretty important thing to know. The artist did a great job on this one. This was posted to Twitter awhile back and I never got a chance to share it.
One of the things that struck me the first time I watched Return of the Jedi was that we never got to see Luke making his lightsaber. It seemed odd even then. That’s because it was a scene that was cut from the movie. Now we can finally see Luke putting the finishing touches on it at least, just before he heads off to Jabba’s palace.
You can watch the scene below. Basically he finishes it up, tests it and then sends the droids off ahead, so that he can rescue his friend Han Solo.
Deviantart user McQuade has several neat Star Wars Christmas cards that are getting us in the mood for a Star Wars Christmas. These colorful and humorous designs will crack you up and make you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Even Salacious B. Crumb looks like he’s having a good time. I think my favorite is Luke getting the Wampa action figure and telling the story of his encounter. The artist combines Christmas and Star Wars together perfectly. I may have to go and listen to Christmas In The Stars now.
Korean graphic designer and paper toy artist Jang Suk-Woo created this fun and silly set of illustrations, showing some of the Star Wars characters that we know and love as babies. Hey, you have to start somewhere right? These characters may be cool all grown up, but in the beginning, they needed their diaper changed like everyone else.
For everyone who has ever complained about the prequels, let this be a reminder that it could have been much, much worse. We could have been given three movies of Star Wars Babies. I for one, do not want to see Luke and Darth Vader having a lightsaber duel in a crib.
