After a few weeks of personal issues, it's good to be back in the saddle. We're 30 days out from the new Star Wars movie and after finding the elusive Captain Phasma Black Series figure, decided to devote this week's Toy Review Tuesday to the First Order.  Come inside to watch! 

With Star Wars Battlefront releasing this month and ushering a new era in Star Wars gaming, I reached out to former LucasArts creative director Haden Blackman to discuss a pair of the biggest releases from before the Disney takeover: The Force Unleashed. 

When The Force Unleashed 2 brought back the character of Starkiller, some fans were confused (and still are), especially when the adventure turned out to be so short. That story wasn't always the plan, however, and the original ideas for TFU 2 would have feature new characters and an entirely different story.  Come inside to learn more of what could have been.

Ever wondered what The Force Unleashed 3 would have been about, had the developers gotten the chance to make it?  While talking with former LucastArts Creative Director Haden Blackman about the games, he revealed what could have been in store for the franchise.  Come inside to see his remarks.

We're still reeling from the release of the final Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer in this week's new comic strip.  Come inside to check it out.

I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Diarmuid and Sean from the SpoilsSports podcast to do a little reminiscing about Star Wars episodes 4-6.

Not only is this my first guest gig on another podcast, it’s also my first international podcast!

Sorry for the two weeks off but I'm back and I got comics to talk about. Star Wars released four books this week but I'm sticking with the main title this week Star Wars #10. Old Man Logan #6 pretty much gives us closure on this character's universe and the introduction into the main Marvel line. Invincble Iron Man sees Tony return to true hero activity and even debuts a new armor. But Amazing Spider-Man #1 really hits it on all levels and this book is getting a permanent spot on Picks.

New York Comic Con is kicking off this morning, but at last night's preview event, Hasbro gave fans a look at the next batch of Star Wars toys heading our way, including a The Force Awakens Han Solo!  Come inside to check out some of the new collectibles heading our way.

"George Lucas ruined my childhood" has long been the battlecry of ridiculous Star Wars fans for a while now, and today we're addressing it and the ONLY scenario in which it's appropriate to use.  Come inside to check out this week's Focal Point!

Eric breaks down why Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is freaking awesome. Eric also talks about his adventures during the recent Star Wars Force Friday. We finish things off with some Rick and Morty talk and an escaped King Cobra in Florida.

Force Friday is finally here, and the launch of the new The Force Awakens toys has opened the floodgates for distributors to finally share their plans for toy releases down the road as well.  Gathered here, we've got the skinny on all the upcoming Star Wars toy exclusives for various retailers.

Force Friday is mere hours away, and Disney's live-streaming event is showcasing all of the upcoming The Force Awakens products coming to attack your bank account.  One of the best looking ones so far, however, is the app-controlled BB-8 from Sphero.  

Every Star Wars collector has a niche focus they track down more than others.  It’s a great practice and something I encourage collectors to do when they’re getting started.  To help enterprising collectors, I’m taking a look at some of the most interesting pieces to track down in these specific areas, and today, I’m talking Star Wars’ Expanded Universe.

As some of the most highly anticipated movies draw nearer to release, "spoilers" are once again popping up and sending the interwebs into a tizzy...But what's what, and when should you get upset?  Let's see if we can solve that problem.  

Are you prepared for some unboxing and toy reviews for the new Star Wars The Force Awakens toys? Well they won’t be coming from me first sorry, I know I’m as broken up about it as you are. Hasbro has teamed with the studios of The Makers Network to bring you their own Youtube unboxing videos.
