This week in Q&A - Mandalorian expansions! I would not count on a new expansion. And Baba Yaga - what's new with everybody's favorite witch?

The Digital Bits strikes again! Check out  Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back – A Visual Guide to Changes, Fixes, and Tweaks in the Disney+ 4K Version. Compositing changes, new explosion, old bloopers, and fixes that skipped a generation are shown in pretty decent detail.

This isn't a guide to the big obvious stuff, but you'll definitely notice relocated TIE bombers, altered cropping in the Millennium Falcon cockpit, and fixed rank badges on various Imperials in scenes that were flipped.  (Of course, Boba Fett is still wrong in Return of the Jedi.)  Anyway, check this out.

Before The Rise of Skywalker, we had no idea what the deal with Knight of Ren (The Vintage Collection) was.  And now we still don't.  How does this not-quite-Darth Maul-looking guy shake out as a figure?  Quite well. Read on!

Possibly Zorii Bliss' little pal, the BB-19H (Droid Factory Line Look) is one of the better holiday droid figures.  With a clear red body and golden head, it's a Christmas Ornmanet Robot.   If it's still available, go ahead and grab it before it disappears.  Read on!

Healey Made is back with a couple of new figures - No.71240 & No.93850.   These are wrestling-themed figures which take inspiration from 1980s Kenner releases.  The numbers should be familiar to those who collect carded releases.  You can see if they're still available in the Healey Made Store.

This week in Q&A - Will we see the great pit of Carkoon again as an action figure toy? And yellowing - this topic comes up a lot! (Seriously, friends who aren't collectors came from out of town and we talked about yellowing plastic over dinner. I'm great at parties.)

The Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight, The Black Series 6-Inch)  is possibly at a Walmart near you right now! It's an exclusive and it's a big upgrade over the previous edition, which had no vest, no cloak, and no blaster for the same price.  I like the new head a lot, even if he does have a little more color than I would expect for the scale.  Read on!

Celebrate the end of the saga with a figure that comes from the movie that was the end of the saga back in 1983 with Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight, Galaxy of Adventures 5-Inch)!  This $10 Walmart exclusive looks pretty sharp and comes with a snazzy vest.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - The Mandalorian Toys! Will there be variants and upgrades? Not so far! And aging done in real time - maybe it's not what you expect.  Also there's a new movie this week, under the shadow of the baby.

Be sure you send in your questions for next time. Read on!

The Jet Trooper is a new figure, but what do we know about it?  Not much.  It flies, it's in the movie, and it has a quick-draw attack - and rocker ankles.  Read on!

Possibly at a Walgreens near you, the Clone Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Black Series 6-Inch) looks more like Ewan McGregor than the movie-specific Ewan figures put out in this scale.  He's got a lot of color in his face, which works well as his armor is pretty desaturated.  Is it worth buying this modified Clone Trooper figure?  Yes.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - Are figures too expensive to make? Probably not and probably never! Life will find a way. Also joint swapping may not be worth your while.

It's the Shadow Trooper (The Vintage Collection)! It's the Blackhole Stormtrooper I always wanted - they can call it what they want, but this is about as Russ Manning as these things get.  He has extra parts, too!  Read on.

If you can't get enough of paying for parking and waiting in lines, Disney has a special treat for you.  Its Orlando debut of Rise of the Resistance means new ride, new stuff, and new things to fill your suitcase.  The info-tainment piece Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Attraction Merchandise Coming to Disney Parks on December 5 covers some of the shirts, pins, and other doodads - but the nifty vehicle and droid are probably the thing even us snooty, indoor fans will want.

With the advent of Disney+, it was quickly discovered that the 4K remaster of the original 1977 Star Wars movie, called Star Wars, anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong, had some changes made to it.  The Fox fanfare was there, Greedo had a bit more to say, and it turns out there were several other tweaks and adjustments too.   Bill Hunt and Dave Stewart posted a , a great site you may remember as  being one of the big news and review sites for DVDs back when DVDs were a big and new thing - and they're still doing a fantastic job looking at digital home cinema releases.  If you're an old-school Star Wars fan, and you are, check this out.
