Hopefully a new outbreak of Star Wars fever will lead to remakes of X-Wing and TIE Fighter.

Lego  is the way to go,  our house is coming down with it,  Santa bringing another 3 sets,  including the Falcon.  Christmas day entertainment sorted!

The computer games, not the toys. Although the little man might find himself with more Star Wars Lego than he can cope with...

Big son has Star Wars Battlefront coming for the XBox so there will be serious action there as well!

Bingo

What is not to like about star wars. Just the greatest (And I mean the original 3, the 3 prequels are wiped from memory).

Really looking forward to the new one as it goes back to its roots. Me and Bingo Jnr heading to it over the holidays.

I was a massive Ewok junkie and had a vast collection.

My eyes lit up in Smyths recently when I seen the Ewok village in Lego and I will get it when I get the box room sorted and a table in it to put that baby together. Followed by the falcon, the death star......

Ewok village was nearly on Santa's list but like you we really need the room and table sorted.  I'm really tempted to invest in some of this to make sure the Falcon stays in 1 piece!

I'll just lock the room and keep the destruction crew out!

The embargo on reviews has just lifted.

The consensus is that it's pretty good. Not great. Definitely not bad.

Jedi is a bit rubbish. All Ewoks and Harrison Ford making it painfully obvious that he didn't want to be there. But Star Wars (is it hipster to refer to it as A New Hope or hipster to not refer to it as A New Hope?) and Empire are brilliant. When the likes of Fritz Lang and DW Griffith started mucking around with the new fangled medium, those films were what they had in mind as the end point.

Any of you lads born in the 1970s saying you have never watched any of the original Star Wars trilogy are talking ballix I would say.
