“This is the story of Star Wars. You can read along with me in your book. You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear Artoo-Detoo beep like this…” Jez loved the Rainbow/Buena Vista Star Wars read along stories as a kid. Who didn’t? In this special look back episode, Jez is joined by Dan who has never listened to these before the recording, and Dave Tree who took the lads up on the invitation to record a show but had no idea what he was in for. This episode is a treat for all Star Wars fans as the lads play all 3 Original Trilogy stories and share their observations. For you as a listener, it’s sure to be a great insight into life as a Star Wars fan growing up in the early 80s, or a fantastic nostalgia trip down memory lane!

They did it! The shield is down! Let’s go!!

Let’s begin now:

He’s the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter — and one of the most iconic action figures ever released. In this episode of Generation Skywalker, we dive jetpack-first into the history, legends and lasting impact of the vintage Star Wars Boba Fett figure.

We kick things off with our review of the latest Echo Base Live, which took place in Redditch on 11/10/2025 — the finds, the atmosphere, and highlights from the UK’s premier vintage collecting event.

Then the hunt begins.

Guest host Mark Andrews from Variant Villains joins the team as we track down all there is to know about Fett. We round off our rocket-firing prototype discussion with a look at recent auction activity, before shifting focus to the production figure itself. From figure varians and cardbacks, to country-specific quirks, we examine why this single figure became the ultimate target in the vintage Star Wars collecting .

Plus, we sit down with Ron Salvatore from the Star Wars Collectors Archive to chat about his latest Boba Fett blog and his take on the figure.

Expect insider knowledge, market insights, personal memories — and the kind of Fett-focused passion only Generation Skywalker can deliver.

Strap in, target locked — and no disintegrations!

It’s one of the most talked-about action figures in Star Wars history — the mysterious, mythical rocket-firing Boba Fett.

In the first episode of our three-part deep dive into vintage Boba Fett action figures, Jez has 2 separate interviews with 2 ‘Top Men’ regarding Rocket Firing Fetts, Chris Georgoulias from the Star Wars Collectors Archive and Brian Rachfal, ‘an obtainer of rare antiquities’, and one of the most respected experts in the Rocket Firing Fett world.

Chris brilliantly explains the timeline of the figure from its initial concept through development and testing to its eventual demise. Chris clearly knows his stuff and puts the myths to bed.

After this Jez speaks with Brian, who very kindly explains all about hunting, owing, selling and assisting buyers/sellers in this fascinating world of Star Wars prototypes. It truly is a brilliant interview.

Join us and explore the origins, the myths, and the magic behind Kenner’s infamous rocket-firing prototype — the figure that never made it to store shelves but went on to become the true holy grail of vintage Star Wars collecting.

From early Kenner kit bashed concepts and prototypes to the truth behind the reasons for removing rocket firing feature, this episode uncovers the evolution of the rocket-firing Fett — and why it continues to captivate fans and collectors over four decades later.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just love Star Wars history, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

This Halloween, the Generation Skywalker committee descends into the darker corners of a galaxy far, far away! Join us as we count down the top scariest moments from all 11 live-action Star Wars films — from chilling Sith encounters and creepy creatures, to the unsettling, tragic, and downright horrifying scenes that still give us goosebumps.

Stu, Jez and Dan are joined by special guest Mark Spriggs as we delve into the darker side of Star Wars.

Expect debate, laughter, and maybe a few nightmares as the team ranks the most spine-tingling moments that prove Star Wars isn’t just space fantasy — it’s space horror too.
