Episode 344: Decade of the Clones

We are rapidly approaching the tenth anniversary of the second Star Wars prequel film–Attack of the Clones. With the proto-stormtroopers, the emergence of a new Sith Lord, and Boba fett’s father Jango, this movie was built up to with all the hype that came with the Star Wars prequels. On this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast Marjorie and Arnie look back at the Episode II hoopla, from the Saga Collection of figures’ midnight release to Star Wars Celebration II in Indianapolis, as well as their own personal connection to this prequel.

Also on this week’s podcast, the third try was the charm for Sideshow’s Premium Format Stormtrooper. After two damaged pieces, Marjorie and Arnie have gotten a complete piece of this Sideshow collectible. With its portrayal of the faceless troops of the Imperial Army, is this something you should add to your collection? Listen to find out!

With Nathan P. Butler’s final entry in his look back at the Hasbro comic figure packs, Brock’s review of The Essential Guide to Warfare, a new line of statues from Sideshow Collectibles, and 25 new astromech figures, it’s all on this week’s Star Wars Acton News podcast!

Sideshow Mythos Preview: Ben Kenobi

Sideshow Collectibles has updated their “Sideshow Experience” section with a preview of the upcoming Ben Kenobi “Desert Nomad” Mythos statue.

Sideshow Collectibles: Star Wars Mythos

Sideshow Collectibles has posted an announcement for a new line of Star Wars statues called “Star Wars Mythos“.

This new line of collectibles will be populated by characters from new and existing story lines. We will bring history, unique details and personal choices to each in order to elaborate on who they are. Through the design and sculpt process our goal was to delve deeper into these established characters and offer our own interpretations of what they were doing outside of the Star Wars canon.

Head to Sideshow for the complete details.
