When I stumbled across this one I knew, just for the back story alone, it needed to be spotlighted on eBay Today. Since we could ask Mark Hamill to authenticate the piece itself we did but he didn't get back to us in time. That said, I've compared the writing on this piece to all the handwritten examples I have, and there are a lot of consistencies. In my opinion it looks legitimate, and that makes the story extra cool. Follow this link to read the description on the Mark Hamill Autograph & R2-D2 drawing auction and marvel at the artistic skills of Luke Skywalker. Of course, if Mark gets back to us before this auction ends I'll make sure to let you know. Also, despite the cool story, this piece should only be worth about $250...

A couple of weeks back I took a trip down to Thousand Oaks, California to talk with Brant Bridges to discuss what Sideshow Collectibles has planned for 2012, but through a series of comical goofs, the three hour visit that would have yielded two interviews, one for here and one for CTR, was cut down to a thirty-eight minute conversation. Since both Brant and I love our Star Wars there is still a lot there that you might want to check out. Follow this link to read the entire interview.

While shopping with the family this past weekend, I came across a trio of small collector tins at Five Below. For only $5 each, you can have a small 4-5" tall metal collector tin with the likeness of R2-D2, Darth Vader, or Boba Fett. They are secured with a lunchbox-style clasp, and they include a small handle on the top.

Poll
George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.
We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
Good for you George! You've earned it.
Thank goodness!
I don't see the irony here.
