For the past 20 shows Farthest From has been the platform for many collectors to meet and share their knowledge and experience within vintage Star Wars collecting.
The opportunity each show affords fans and collectors is priceless, forging friendships that will last a lifetime.

Introducing ... "Farthest From Legends"

Bringing back on of the most requested elements of the show, "Farthest From Legends" are the schedule of presentations at each event.

Good news/ bad news
Good news, here are the details of the first panel announced.
Bad news, it's me presenting it.

Farthest From Legends - The Adventures Of Luke Skyjacker.

Having exploded in popularity around the same time, Star Wars and video gaming are cultural phenomenons in their own right. Star Wars itself hugely influenced video game play and every arcade, home video game company wanted capitalize on the demand. At a time of ungoverned rapid development and growth, some borrowed a little more from Star Wars than others. Recognizable shapes and themes influenced some game play and artwork, however in others there were outright copyright infringements that are incredible by today's standards. This presentation takes a look at an area that has been largely undocumented by Star Wars collecting, and provides an entertaining, insightful look back to the ambiguous days of how Star Wars influenced so many video game titles.

Join us on at the 21st Farthest From Show on Sunday 1st of December to catch this amazing panel.

To far for me

Can't bloody wait!

I'll be there on the Sunday. Looking forward to this,

Won't miss this for the world...
And so much stuff already paid for to collect..Tomart book from Andy Preston, Kim Simmonds book from Rich and a MOC from Mark Hockley...can't wait...roll on December.
