We are saddened to hear of the passing of author D

We are saddened to hear of the passing of author Dave Wolverton. While we never had the opportunity to meet him, it is always sad when someone who contributed to the Star Wars galaxy passes away.

Dave Wolverton wrote five stories for the Star Wars expanded universe, but he is best remembered as the author of The Courtship Of Princess Leia, which was first published in 1994. It was in this book that the planet Dathomir was first introduced, along with the witches (now also known as Nightsisters), a popular location and culture that are still used in Star Wars storytelling to this day.

Thank you for your contribution to the Star Wars galaxy, Dave Wolverton – May the Force be with you.

Merry Christmas and all the best for the Festive Season!

We took the time to put up our Christmas tree this year, fully decked out in our collection of Star Wars ornaments. This year we added two new characters… a Grogu Hallmark ornament that showed up at our local Countdown supermarket, and a Din Djarin, also Hallmark, via EB Games.

It’s certainly been a year of ups and downs for many of us, but we look forward to a 2022 full of Star Wars entertainment and hobbies. Stay tuned as we celebrate Star Wars over the next 12 months; looking forward to so many new titles and stories from the Galaxy Far, Far Away.

The Black Series 6" Cara Dune figure is a little harder to find these days, but it certainly nice to be able to have a full line-up of the characters from season one of The Mandalorian.
