Star Wars Man

Thank you for visiting my blog. I am a Star Wars fan based in Brisbane, Australia. I am a collector first, but also run regular garage sales and a stall at the Brisbane Toy and Hobby Fair. I aim to use this blog to post photos of new arrivals, show off my collection and post all the latest Star Wars related news.

I just went to STAR WARS™ Identities: The Exhibition. Meet my personal Star Wars™ Hero, Adam, a Wookiee bounty hunter from Kashyyyk!

This weekend. I'm about 75% packed. Still lots of work to do.

Packing for the Brisbane Toy and Hobby Fair begins.

Rest in peace, Gary Kurtz. Your fierce determination for Empire Strikes Back as a producer helped shape the franchise into what it has become today (and, indeed, made it actually become a franchise instead of a one off film) and had a profound impact on film and cinema in general.

Garage sale

Hi everyone. I am doing one final garage sale before I fly off to Portland, Oregon at the end off the month. Saturday 18th August. 9am-11am. While in the USA, I'll be visiting a whole pile of collectable stores as well as the Rose City Comic-con. I aim to be fully stocked up for the Brisbane Toy and Hobby Fair in November.

In order to raise a little extra spending money I'll be doing a special deal for my Tumblr followers. Cash only. Buy two, get one free. Third item must be of equal or lesser value. This deal is for EVERYTHING, excepting the loose figure bins.

May the force be with you

Star Wars Episode IX begins filming August 1

J.J. Abrams’ Episode IX will begin filming on August 1 at London’s Pinewood Studios, StarWars.com has annouced, confirming that Billy Dee Williams, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher (via unused The Force Awakens footage) will be returning.

Interestingly, the release calls IX “the final installment of the Skywalker saga.”

As expected, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Anthony Daniels, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd are also returning. They’re being joined by new (to Star Wars) faces, Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant.

More details on the Fisher footage:

The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” says Abrams. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.”

Composer John Williams and Director of Photography Dan Mindel are also returning.

Doing some pricing for this Saturday's garage sale.

Garage Sale.

I’m getting a lot of queries about the 20% off deal for the Garage Sale this weekend. It would seem I have a lot of people who check my Tumblr without being Followers. Just to be clear the 20% covers carded modern figures only. Vintage carded figures are not included, nor boxed items be they ships, figures or statues etc. Cash only deal. I hope that is easy to understand. See you Saturday. 9.30am-11.30am. 619 D’Arcy Rd. Carina.

Star Wars Rebels gets 3 Emmy nods for final season

Star Wars Rebels has been nominated for three Emmys for the show’s fourth and final season: Children’s Program, Sound Editing, and a Music Composition nod for Kevin Kiner.

The show was nominated for Children’s Program last year as well, but lost to Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas.

Game of Thrones has the most nominations this year, with 22, though nothing for Star Wars alumni Emilia Clarke, who submitted in the lead actress category this year.

Donald Glover’s Atlanta got writing, directing and lead acting nod for him, and the show is up for comedy series. He also got a guest actor nod for Saturday Night Live. Laura Dern (for The Take) and Thandie Newton (for Westworld) were nominated in lead and supporting actress categories, respectively.

Report: Billy Dee Williams returning for Episode IX

Lando Calrissian is coming back – again. The Hollywood Reporter, backing up a Fantha Tracks report from June, is now saying that Billy Dee Williams will reprise the role in Episode IX.

A younger version of Lando, played by Donald Glover, appeared in May’s Solo, but Billy Dee hasn’t played the character on screen since Return of the Jedi, though he did do some voice work on Rebels.

IX is due to begin filming at the end of July, so if this rumor does pan out, we’ll likely hear something official soon.

Garage Sale

Hi everyone. Just a heads-up that I’ll be doing another garage sale on Saturday 21st July 2018. 9.30am-11.30am. I’ll have some additional vintage gear on-sale including a Dewback and some Mini-Rigs. I will also be putting out some more Disney Star Wars Weekends figures. I am currently waiting on an enormous collection of carded figures to arrive from the States. Unfortunately the package has been delivered to the wrong address (somewhere in Kentucky). Grrrrrrrrrrr. There is still time, but I doubt it will be here for the sale. We shall see.

As a special thank you to my followers, I’ll be offering a 20% discount on all my carded figures. Just mention my Tumblr to save some serious $$$$. Hope to see you there.
