Generation Skywalker

I'm delighted to launch our new Star Wars project.
Over the last few months I've had the privilege of working alongside four other Star Wars fanatics as we started on a new journey.
With everything going on in the world at the moment we thought this was a choice time to launch. With people isolated, worried about their futures, sometimes the hobby can take a bit of a back seat, collecting may stall and become slower due to people watching their funds, so what better way to keep the fires burning than listening, learning and talking about all things Star Wars.

Here at Generation Skywalker we are more than just collecting. yes we will discuss Vintage collecting, but alongside that we will look at modern toys, the movies, TV Shows and literally everything in between. It's up to the listener/viewer what or how much they choose to consume but there will be something for everyone. And if you want to come on a show and get involved then even better, just drop any one of us 5 a message and we can make that work.

So where you can find us?
We are across a whole manner of places;

Just had a listen to the intro. I'm really looking forward to hearing more.

Sweet. Can't wait. Hi I'll on Monday.

Enjoyed the first episode and looking forward to the next one + the Youtube vids etc. I like the unique slant you guys are taking 8)

Thank you for all the feedback guys. We're looking forward to sharing with you what we've already got together.

[mention]Robstyley[/mention] mate would love to do something with you, I'll be in touch soon mate x

Let's get this Monday started with another show!!!

Join Generation Skywalker on their first ever Vintage Roundtable.

The Skywalker team get together to discuss five topics attached to Vintage collecting. This month they ask, "why the hell do I collect these things?", before delving into Circus World and some special value yellow tape, which raises more questions than the team offers answers. Craig delves into the Chinese bootleg comic world of Lianhuanhua, he offers a fascinating look at this unrepresented area which runs beautifully alongside his blog post over on www.generationskywalker.com. As well as all this we also delve into the unproduced Sandspeeder and take a look at the wonderful imagination of the Imperial Commissary members as they dressed up as cardback art.

Enjoy the show!!!

We are Generation Skywalker.

Just finished the first Vintage Roundtable. Nice job lads!

Nice 8) Plenty of time on our hands to listen as well

Listened to the introduction episode yesterday, will give the new episode a spin tomorrow. Sounds great.

Listened to the introductory episode today, great to hear you all on the airwaves again.

I like the sound of the new venture, something a bit different to whats out there at present. Best of luck with it and I'm looking forward to listening!

Really enjoyed that guys, great effort!

Looking forward to hearing more and hopefully inputting soon, you need a feature on hamilton plates yes?? :lol:

Loving this so far.
Congratulations on putting a great group of knowledgeable collectors together for a new take on Star Wars collecting.
I wish you good luck with the new venture, but also feel that you won't need it. 8)

You sir, are top of my xmas card list from now on.

The blog post to accompany the Chinese Bootleg Comic discussion is on the website (link below), massively worth checking out, Craig has researched the area well and his blog post is beautifully written and full of images of what was being discussed on the podcast. Some amazing images, so even if you can't read like [mention]Jez[/mention] you can still enjoy the images.

New show for the weekend.

Generation Skywalker welcomes their very first ever guest, as Christopher James Leddy, one of the nicest guys in the universe joins Stuart to discuss collecting Hot Toys. A discussion which has since made Stuart order a couple of Hot Toys himself!

The interview follows the golden Generation Skywalker rule, five items that curate your collection, although Christopher was a little loose with the images he supplied as you hear! Chris tells us what Hot Toys are to him and why he collects the line, we discuss his own podcast channel - Sixth Scale Scavengers, and delve into his favourite items from his collection and what he's looking forward to that's coming out later this year.

Enjoy the show!

We are Generation Skywalker!
