Live out all of your dark side fantasies with the Star Wars Emperor’s Throne Armchair. It is a replica of the Emperor’s throne from Return of the Jedi from Regal Robot’s Custom Studio. It swivels on a polished chrome base with two-tone faux leather in black and rich purple. Give into your hate? More like give into your long day and sit your butt down in style.
This may be the coolest Star Wars clock ever. This Star Wars Return Of The Jedi Wall Clock With Light-Up Lightsabers is based on scenes from Return of the Jedi. It depicts the lightsaber duel from Return of the Jedi, with the lightsabers crossed and glowing in brilliant red and green. The Emperor glows blue. This clock even plays the STAR WARS theme song for 45 seconds, every hour on the hour.
The third installment of the Star Wars Topps books is coming in August. We covered the previous books here. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – The Original Topps Trading Card Series Volume Three covers the final installment of George Lucas’s original Star Wars trilogy. All 220 cards and 55 stickers are reprinted in one deluxe volume. This book features the fronts and backs of each card, including character profiles and puzzles featuring all of your favorite scenes from Return of the Jedi. You also get four bonus trading cards, rare promotional images, and an introduction and commentary by Gary Gerani. I love these books and plan to get this one too.
You may question how a bunch of furry little teddy bears took down the Empire on a remote moon, but you weren’t there man! You didn’t see it! They were everywhere! I was there! Let me tell you something. On that day, if it had fur, we prayed for a quick death!
Seriously, these are some quality Ewok masks from TreeOnEndor. They are so realistic they will make Imperial officers and Scout Troopers wet their pants in horror. These are great for cosplay or if you want to say “Yub-Yub” all night on Halloween and poke people with sticks.
These beautiful minimal and retro Star Wars posters from POTAPOTA are perfect, conveying so much with so little. Kind of like Yoda actually. This unique poster series was designed with the best quotes from the movies and most memorable parts of the films and there are several versions to choose from. All look amazing. Several of these would look so good on my office walls… I think I have to get some for myself. So long money.
FPArtistry has created some really fantastic mashup posters featuring Doctor Who and Star Wars. I love what he did with the original Star Wars trilogy posters. Especially A New Hope featuring the ninth doctor, Rose and a Dalek. I have to have these now! I also like “The Dead Awaken” which is Star Wars: The Force Awakens combined with the Series 8 two-part finale of Doctor Who (Dark Waters and Death in Heaven).
Check out the rest of the posters on sale. They make some amazing stuff.
Boba Fett has been done so many times in all kinds of figure formats, so it is hard to imagine what Hot Toys could do to make their deluxe version stand out. Well, they have done a great job as usual. He comes with his own Sarlacc pit with tentacles and two jetpack thrust fire accessories! We should get more details about this one soon.
Have you ever even given a moment’s thought to the puppeteers that brought Jabba the Hutt to life in Return of the Jedi? If you have, this documentary will be very fascinating for you. If you haven’t given much thought to Jabba and how he came to be, you will be even more fascinated.
This in-depth 20-minute fan documentary by filmmaker Jamie Benning includes rare outtakes, stills and all kinds of behind-the-scenes magic. Thank God George Lucas couldn’t do Jabba in CGI at that time, because what we got was wonderful. You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about our favorite giant slug.
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.
I absolutely love Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art from Star Wars and thanks to redditor Join_You_In_The_Sun I am in heaven looking at 100 images of Ralph McQuarrie’s art from the original trilogy.
Below are some of my favorites. I just can’t get enough of his vision of the Star Wars universe. Almost every single painting is epic and they really visually steered Star Wars into what it became on screen. Love these!
