Beyond the Dune Sea: LEGO Star Wars Obi-Wan’s Hut 75270 Review
It should come as no surprise to anyone that’s been around this site that I’m an Original Trilogy purist. The way that everything that the franchise has become started as a small, independent sci-fi production in the 1970s is astounding to me. One of the earliest pieces of world building that we are introduced to…
Red 5 Standing By: A Review of the LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker Red 5 Helmet 75327
Few items scream “Rebel Alliance” quite like the Rebel flight helmet. In a franchise that is filled with iconic imagery, the Rebel flight helmet is iconic in its own right. It may not be in the forefront of someone’s mind, like the Darth Vader helmet. However, the Rebel flight helmet is instantly recognizable. It’s such…

Journey Across the Dune Sea: LEGO® Star Wars™ Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder™ (75341) Review
When I think of the original Star Wars, I tend to think of a lot of the media that I enjoyed growing up. I was a kid in the early 90s when Kenner released the “Power of the Force” line of action figures. Birthdays and holidays were always filled with figures or vehicles from that…
Unleash the Force: A Review of LEGO® Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter™ Set (75301)
Few things have impacted my life more than the Star Wars franchise. The Original Trilogy particularly has had a huge influence. As much as lightsaber battles define the series, space battles that really make for edge-of-your-seat action (looking at you, Battle of Endor). And no epic space battle is complete without Luke Skywalker’s iconic Red…
