The second-smallest set in the 2016 LEGO® Star Wars: Rogue One lineup, the AT-ST Walker gives the Imperials fire support and a commanding view of the battlefield. At $39.99 (US), it offers 447 parts and 3 unique minifigures.

Review of LEGO® Rebel U-Wing Fighter, Set 75155

I am thrilled to announce that over the next few weeks, LEGO® “Master Builder” Peter Guenther will be back with new reviews! This time he is armed with the LEGO® Rogue One sets. The floor is all yours Peter…
I suppose it’s not too surprising that the 2016 LEGO® lineup for Rogue One only includes one Rebel set
(versus four Imperial sets): it’s the story of a plucky band of insurgents against a galactic Empire, after all. Initial photos of the set including the box art left me cold; I found it unattractive and boxy and wasn’t sure it was an acceptable value, especially at $79.99(US) for 659 pieces. Out of the box, though, this set really surprised me; built, it’s bigger than I expected and has great detailing.
Ghost Perler Pixel Pattern
Some of you got your first glimpse of the Ghost in mid-2014 in the online game Star Wars Rebels: Ghost Raid. I saw it for the first time in the fall when the TV series made it’s debut. I was immediately drawn to the ship, as a character in itself.
Star Wars-y Beer (Downloadables)
We have many more beer drinkers than wine drinkers at our Star Wars parties. Yet we have always only had regular, “boring”, non-Star Wars beer. Well, thanks to a post by Red 5 Mom and a few of our friends, this year, we finally had beer fit for a Star Wars Cantina.
Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced Perler Pixel Pattern
This Pixel Monday post is a follow-up on last week’s post and pattern of Darth Vader: today we have Vader’s TIE Advanced (TIE Fighter). I always though it was very interesting that Vader did not simply stay in the safety of the Death Star or his Imperial Star Destroyer. He got right in the action. I love how different that makes him from Kylo Ren.
Poe’Boy X-Wing Sandwich with Sweet Poe-tato Fries
Poe Dameron is a flashy, spectacular pilot with a smile that can melt any glacier on Hoth. So when we where trying to figure out a Poe-themed food for our Star Wars Party in a couple of weeks, we needed something that was worthy of his pizzazz. A Po’boy might sound too humble, but I assure you it is anything but!
