Have you ever wondered what a Stormtrooper looks like under their helmet? There’s no reason to wonder, really, clone troopers look alike (like Boba Fett, infact). The first Stormtroopers are renamed clone troopers. There were other clone lines, though, such as from Coruscant and Centrax-2. By the Battle of Kamino in 12 BBY, the Fett […]

There are a number of highlights in the 3,803 piece set. I love the R2D2 minifig – in fact, there are 24 different minifigs and droids. There’s […]

An avalanche of Star Wars cupcakes for #StarWarsDay

May 4, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
