Years before any of us knew that Darth Vader was in fact once a young Jedi named Anakin Skywalker, the former pupil of one Obi-Wan Kenobi and obsessive husband to one Padmé Amidala, he was nothing more than the cool dude with the telescoping Lightsaber and trendsetting vinyl cape.

The much-anticipated reopening of the reimagined Star Tours attraction in Disney's Hollywood Studios is two weeks away.

Today's Collector's Collections update features images from the collection of Richard Jones from Roanoke, Virginia, USA.

Although it's been known for awhile now, the latest version of the Y-Wing Fighter is being shown on Toy Palace. The images are not final, and looks to be the TAC version shown, although this may not be the case when it is released. Note that even the packaging shown above is custom-made, and not official.

A whole lot of rumors have been surfacing this week, with new listings for toys for The Vintage Collection! First the long-ago-hinted Tauntaun and Landspeeder are back, each said to be paired with a Luke Skywalker figure. It's not yet known if these are repacks/repaints/retools or what have you. Also, the Jedi Spirits are said to be getting some attention soon too! As always, nothing is official at the moment. But speculating is part of the fun of being a fan!

The vintage Stormtrooper is the exact polar opposite of the modern figure. Whereas this figure, which is today’s addition to the Kenner Photo Archive, is quite accurate to the film version, it is completely void of any form of action posing. On a positive note, with his moulded head, he had no choice but to stay on target… as long as he was facing it directly.
