My latest Star Wars Smuggler’s Bounty box arrived today. I have been buying this since it started but I recently stopped the service. Well, that is after I had already gotten the year ahead. So, I’ll finish up later this year. I think the quality has just gone downhill. They used to be pretty consistent with a pin and a patch and a tshirt but now there are things missing each time. This one was okay, it had a couple of toys and a tshirt and also a pin. No patch. No page that tells me everything inside the box and the reasons for them. There is also a drink glass with Darth Vader on it. Darth Vader is also on the pin. They probably should have added some other Sith Lord there as well. The whole thing is in my video below.
On Friday Brian from Built from Bricks and I will be seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I cannot wait to see this movie. Two years ago when Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out I was able to see a sneak preview of the movie and it was fantastic. I was so excited to see a new, and really well done, Star Wars movie. I am not a fan of the prequels but these sequels have been very entertaining. Or rather, one sequel and a stand alone movie that tied right in to A New Hope. Last year’s Rogue One was a such a great movie and the characters were fantastic. I especially liked Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe.
Well, on December 10th the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi happened and it was an incredible pull out all the stops event. Stars Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro were joined by writer/director Rian Johnson and producers Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman for a walk down the red carpet where they greeted enthusiastic fans at the world premiere of Lucasfilm’s STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. This looks like it was an amazing event. They had Storm Troopers, Imperial Guards and more also walking the red carpet. How fun is that!
Some friends of mine went on a trip to interview the cast of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and were also on hand for a large press conference with the cast. they didn’t see the movie but they had a once in a lifetime trip none-the-less. I look forward to sharing with you the thoughts I have on the movie once I see it on Friday morning with Brian. But until then I can watch this new featurette all about the new worlds in STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI:
