EU: Death Star


Another novel by Michael Reeves, this one is in a similar character driven style as with MedStar and Coruscant Nights and is set entirely aboard the Death Star. the book follows character from as high up as Tarkin and Vader to the lowly construction workers. Some very cool scenes including Tarkin's final thoughts, the reaction of the gunner when he first fires the super laser and a couple of workers arguing about the plans for the Death Star as they can't quite believe they're being asked to install an exposed exhaust port.

Clone Troopers Thire and Jek Action Figures


These two Clone Troopers appeared in the very first episode of TCW alongside Yoda. Thire on the left also appears in ROTS and is the Clone Trooper Palpatine sends to check for Yoda's body.

Commando Droid Action Figures


Arguably the most formidable of the separatist forces, these droids are adapt at hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting and blaster fire, they also poses the ability to imitate human speech patterns.

Baron Soontir Fel Action Figure


Leader of the 181st TIE Interceptor squadron, this is Baron Soontir Fel, a character based of the real life Red Baron from WWI. This character made several appearances in the X-Wing comic and novel series and I've previously featured a model of his starfighter when blogging my titanium TIE fighter collection.

I like to pose him with the helmet off as above but have also included a shot of him fully suited on the right here.

Yoda Action Figure w/ Kybuck


As seen in the opening credits of the original Clone Wars micro-series, this action figure of Yoda is standing proud atop a Kybuck, a steed like creature that was given to Yoda as a gift by the wookiees. After all, good realtions with the wookiees he has.
