Once again we spotlight the customizing talents of another of our forum members – my kind of scum! From fan fiction creations to classic characters from the films, he continues to inspire with all kinds of custom figure goodness. Check out his latest updates after the jump!
A couple months back, we shared an announcement regarding a few classic Lucasfilm games being made available online by GOG.com. GOG has now released wave 2 featuring six Star Wars titles including X-wing Alliance, X-wing vs TIE Fighter, Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, Dark Forces, Knight of the Old Republic II and Battlefront II.
I may be using the word “custom” a little fast and loose here but since StarWars.com released the concept art from “Idiot’s Array”, I felt the need to use the assets to slap together a printable version of the crate used to transport Lando’s puffer pig. Can you tell things are slow right now??? Click the image above to print your own to display with your Star Wars Rebels figures. They are toys after all, right? Hasbro, if you make a Rebels Lando figure, can you include a puffer pig, too?
Our friends at JediNews have posted some great details for new LEGO sets due in summer 2015. These sets again look to run the gamut of source material from the Prequels to the Original Trilogy to Star Wars Rebels. Head on over to check them out, especially that Imperial Assault Carrier!
Star Wars: A New Hope was the first mainstream movie to be dubbed into the Navajo language, and fans at Celebration can see a behind-the-scenes documentary on how that came to be, created especially for the event.
Following the never-before-seen documentary footage, and a Q&A session with key players from the Navajo Nation and the film industry, Star Wars: A New Hope will be screened in the Navajo dub – a treat for Star Wars movie fans, and fans of languages, and of course for anyone who speaks Navajo!
For more info head to the Star Wars Celebration website.
Due to overwhelming demand from Star Wars Celebration ticket-holders, a second, very limited run of the Hoth Pin & T-Shirt 2-Pack will be produced.

Also, please note that all orders placed prior to January 21st will ship before the end of February, as originally announced. Orders placed on or after January 21st will ship later, likely before the end of March.

Forbes has posted an exclusive story revealing the Star Wars Hero Mashers line (along with several other properties).
Hasbro saw enough success with their IP-connected Hero Masher lines that they’ll be introducing toys from this year’s hottest films and franchises, adding Jurassic World and Star Wars: Rebels to the Hero Mashers universe as well as expanding the Marvel Heroes with Mashers from Disney’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.
