This week in Q&A - More Bith? Probably not. And More Droids from Hasbro? Also, probably not.

I'm gathering all the details (and some unsolicited editorial) from this weekend's Star Wars Celebration for a new issue of the text-only, no-videos-to-waste-your-time Adam's Star Wars Newsletter. Issue #14 should be ready around Tuesday, so come back for that - or just read below for me speculating wildly about the three newly-announced Star Wars movies.

Be sure you send in your questions. The mailbag is out of questions, so if you got some, send some in. Read on!

Today at Star Wars Celebration, they announced a whopping three new movies.  Reporting varies and some things aren't necessarily corroborated, but StarWars.com posted SWCE 2023: Three New Star Wars Movies Announced.  (And don't worry, I'll be collecting all this stuff for ASWN so you can skim it later.)

One movie takes place 25,000 years before the trilogies.  One takes place in the Mando timeframe. The other takes Rey a few years after The Rise of Skywalker, and there have been some interesting rumors going around about who may join her in that one. Absolutely no titles, dates, or other than Daisy Ridley specific on-screen talent were named.

From the article:

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Tython/Boba Fett's Starship, The Vintage Collection). It's presently exclusive as a pack-in to a very expensive $200 Boba Fett's Starship re-re-repaint. (Previously the vehicle has been exclusive to Toys R Us in Jango deco, Amazon in Boba Deco, and a shared Fan Channel ESB deco - and this is the Book of Boba Fett flavor.) It's a perfectly nice figure, but at $200 for just a ship repaint and a figure you're probably going to feel this wasn't the best value in the toy store. Read on!

Surprise! Hasbro's Kenner's The Retro Collection The Mandalorian (Prototype) figures are showing up in Phoenix, AZ for $14.99 each. (I found them, so it's a legit sighting.) Take care to examine both sides of the rifle for stress marks before making a purchase.   The figure has a gray cape and Kenner blue blasts, so it might be of interest to customizers and open toy collectors just for that.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Boushh, The Retro Collection). She looks different, and different is good - the head has a different personality from the original, making this seem like a long-lost variant made a mere 40 years later. Read on!

This week in Q&A - axed toys! Who should have been saved? And sticky texture cardbacks. Ewwww.

After selling out a few times, the generously sized and designed-for-a-DETOLF case Prototype Deluxe Space Bar - Custom 3 3/4" Action Figure Playset is back in stock at the Orbitdyne Etsy page.  It lights up, with glow-in-the-dark elements and it's a good fit for retro figures but also works nicely with modern ones.  Click here to buy it if it hasn't yet sold through.

It's a 3-D printed item that is several elements you align and enjoy. It's a great display piece that seems to get the job done, and that job is making sure your figures look like they're doing something other than stand around waiting for you to play with them. It's great.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: New Republic Security Droid (The Black Series). It's a really neat figure, giving us a rare new droid with a new head that doesn't necessarily break the bank since it's being marked down on Amazon for $12.49. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tech M'or (Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, The Vintage Collection). It's a part of the white box band multi-pack, and it's great. They also announced a The Book of Boba Fett Tusken Raider army pack today, which also seems pretty great. It's nice to have aliens in the line again. Read on!

This week in Q&A - What happens if you can't stands your 6-inch figures no more? Well, don't buy a disc stand. And repro droids are great, but where are Kenner Retro droids? Sadly, not in production.
