Generation Skywalker
SHOW 93 : THE COMMITTEE : TOP 10 LIGHTSABER DUELS
updated
Up top the team discuss the upcoming Echo Base Live taking place on the 11th October and our plans for the event.
Moving on to Dengar, we cover the character, the figure, the card back, the Palitoy mail-away offer, the multipacks, his beyond the toys items and much more.
Ron Salvatore from the Star Wars Collectors Archive provides a Rebel Alliance Briefing on Dengar, and Mark Andrews from The Variant Villains is back to talk variations and the unicorns when it comes to this figure
We’ve also included an excerpt from The Palitoy Guide Part 2 featuring Dave Tree covering Dengar and Palitoy’s Bounty Hunter Offer of which the Dengar mail away was a key feature.
No rock is left unturned in our compressive overview of Dengar (The Demolisher).
Stu, Pete, Jez and Dan discuss the character, the figure, the card back, the large size action figure, the multipacks, beyond the toys items and much more.
Ron Salvatore from the The SWCA is back for another Rebel Alliance briefing and Mark Andrews from The Variant Villains drops in to give us the low-down on the everyone’s favourite mechanical bounty hunter.
Like the Acolyte or loathe it, this episode is an honest, full on, sleeves rolled up dive into the Disney+ show which became more divisive to the fan base than The Last Jedi.
For this very special recording, Dan and Jez were joined by long time listener and fan of The Old Republic era Mark Spriggs. Mark was brought onboard to provide extra knowledge of the era and was graciously the balance needed against Dan’s feelings on the series!
In a first for Generation Skywalker, this Disney+ focus show includes mini committees where the lads vote for their Top 5 favourite parts of The Acolyte but also the Top 5 worst parts of the series!
You may have previously thought of Jez as the cheeriest of Star Wars fans who laps up all Disney Star Wars content, so this show might surprise you with the direction it takes half way through!
This show isn’t intended to upset or ostracise anyone but it pulls no punches. Regardless of your stance on the Acolyte, this is a must listen to show!
To kick off The Bounty Hunter Capture Pod, in this first part we’re hunting all things Bossk. We discuss the character, the figure, the card back, the mail-away offer, the multipacks, beyond the toys items and much, much more.
Ron Salvatore from the The SWCA is back for another Rebel Alliance briefing and blows our tiny little minds with a Bossk shaped knowledge bomb. Mark Andrews from The Variant Villains also joins us to talk fat lips and toxic limbs.
It’s a Bossk bonanza, full of information, observations and a few laughs along the way. Jez’s Bossk impersonation alone makes episode an essential listen.

In this Skywalker Blast, Craig talks #starwars #starwarstoyfigs #vintagestarwars us through what Look-in was, the social history around the magazine, summarises what had been written in blog up to that point, and his future plans for it.
Since recording this Craig went on to complete parts 3 and 4 of blog, which if you are interested in reading can be found here: generationskywalker.com/home/f/these-are-the-mags-you’re-look-in-for
This journey culminated with Craig hosting a panel on Look-in at Celebration Europe in 2023 with his good friend Darren Heyman.
Barry worked as a Graphic Designer on both seasons on Andor, he also appeared on screen in the series as rebel Anto Kreegyr. He is also a massive Star Wars fan and provides an enthusiastic insight into the series, sharing details of his involvement and many of the hidden Easter eggs.
This was recorded in front of an live audience at the Farthest From Xmas Dinner on the Saturday 9th December 2023, when Barry joined Jez on stage as part of the Generation Skywalker’s take over of the event.
So much more than just a 'live action Rebels season 5', we explore the back story, the characters, this season's arc and their all of the implications for Star Wars going forward.
Cross referencing Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings with our own social media polls, gives episode some wider context, even if ithe team doesn't agree on every single detail.
It was a thrill to see some of these characters brought to live action for the first time, but who were the hits and misses? Which scenes sizzled? What left us colder than a Dathomiri witches reanimated body part? And which other long-running franchise did the art direction put Craig in mind of?
It's all here in this super-lush visual treat of an enhanced show.
Watch along and let us know your thoughts.

Craig and Kimberley are joined by Will and Robin Arnold – not only to discuss Propstore, art collector William Plumb and artist Ken Barr – but to sit and review each piece ‘in person’ for the first time.
These hand drawn originals, including characters, vehicles and scenarios from the first three movies, were created to illustrate Random House’s 1984 'Star Wars Word Puzzles' book, and make for a quirky, yet stunning spread of images.
If you think some of these big auction lots are out of your reach, this story might make you think again.
