Happy Star Wars Day! Sideshow launches their pre-orders for their Sixth Scale Deluxe  R2-D2! Everyone's favorite droid from the galaxy far, far away is ready for adventure with intricate articulation and fantastic detailing. The feisty blue and white astromech rolls right off the big screen, with sequencing lights and a swiveling dome that features various moveable ports and hinged panels.

First previewed earlier at Toy Fair,  this year's SDCC exclusive is confirmed as the Black Series Jabba the Hutt with Salacious Crumb and Hooka Pipe by EW.com.

LEGO celebrates Star Wars Day by offering a FREE Darth Revan minifigure and exclusive poster with every purchase of $75 or more.

Sideshow announces the pre-order of the life sized Legacy Collection Yoda. The Force is strong with this one! Capturing Luke Skywalker’s wise and powerful mentor in astonishing detail, Master Yoda appears in his meticulously tailored Jedi robes, resting serenely against his cane as he contemplates the mysteries of the Force.

Pre-order is now up for Sideshow's latest entry in the Sixth Scale Scum and Villainy collection: Jango Fett! Boasting a reputation as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, the expert mercenary is ready for hire decked out in a hand-tailored flight suit, layered belts with holsters and pouches, a hardshell armored vest, and western-style poncho. Destined to one day become the face of the Clone army, Fett’s identity can be concealed behind his iconic Mandalorian helmet, or revealed with an additional swap-out portrait complete with pilot headgear.

At the Star Wars Disney Store event, one of the better value items was a trio of what they refer to as Fig Sets. There are no fruity treats included as the name may imply, but rather six, roughly three-inch figures in a decent box for a pretty low price.

So far we only got a glimpse at sets from the original three movies, and it seems to be a stunning start. Read on for more!

The folks at Funko gives us a nice sneak peek of their Star Wars Pop! figures Series 6 just in time fror Star Wars Day. This assortment includes the Wampa (super sized at 6 inches!), Luke Hoth, Bossk, The Emperor, Hammerhead, and a Biker Scout. Peep out the images after the jump!

Disney gave us a hands-on heavily embargoed look at a new Star Wars app last week called Star Wars Journeys: The Phantom Menace. While sort of a neat throwback - it's an iOS take on the classic Buena Vista storybook + record sets some of us had in kids mashed up with trivia and a video game - it's also aimed at people much shorter and younger than the average reader of sites like this one.

Follow us on Twitter @Galactichunter and @Adam16bit - we'll be giving away free codes to download this one!

Featuring lush art and amazing voiceover work by James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan Kenobi and others on The Clone Wars), it's $6.99 and will be on the iTunes store roughly nowish.

Sideshow is now taking pre-orders for their amazing life-sized Boba Fett. Created in collaboration with the talented prop replica specialists at Tom Spina Designs, this magnificent six-and-a-half foot tall replica is so realistic, you’ll swear he jumped right off the Slave I!

The Disney Store retail outlets are fortunate enough to have a parent company that seems to have a real lust for developing its newfound intellectual properties. Sure, there are toys to be had, and lunch boxes, and kid-size shirts, but now you can get mugs too. Excited? Well, it's a mug, what do you want from me?

Last week, Star Wars and Disney bloggers were at the House of Mouse to check out new toys including Disney's own 12 3/4-inch scale electronic Star Wars action figures. It's important to note that these are not 1:6 scale (12-inch figures) - Luke is taller at 12 3/4-inches, with other characters like Darth Vader and Chewbacca exceeding 14-inches.

Each figure has a lot of articulation plus electronic lights and sounds - a decent deal at $29.99, wouldn't you say? Read on for more!
