    For non-ccg star wars cards, look up the current prices in a magazine called Non-Sports Update. If youre looking up ccg cards, check them out in a magazine called Scrye. After doing this, check out the prices theyre being sold for on ebay. Especially for the more expensive items, you will...

    So who here collects trading cards?

    Yes, I too have been collecting the cards since I was but a wee lad, and after almost 25 years of it, I now understand why they call the damn things cardboard crack. at first you just want the basic set, but then you get just one or two of the chase cards, and youve got to have those as well...

    Ok, need helo with CCG

    Premiere, Death Star II and Special Edition expansion sets had what are called 'starter decks', which were pre-made decks along with rules. However, if all you want are the rules, go to the page at decipher and they have all of these. The one you want is 'Rulebook Version 2.0'. Read all of...

    Ok, need helo with CCG

    First, you should find someone to play with. Second, go to here: http://www.decipher.com/starwars/rules/index.html These have all the current rules for swccg. I believe the Glossary page is the one you want. Work through this and become familiar with the game play and practice playing...

    Will it be the end?...

    They tried doing a cartoon version back in 1984 (I think) with the series Droids. Admitedly, I don't remember it very well, but it seems to me it was not particularly good. It goes without saying that the Holiday Special in 1978 was also a mistaken venture. Of course they today have better...

    Will it be the end?...

    Just to add more to this spirited discussion, I read a recent interview with Lucas where he discussed this very thing. He said the following: "Each time I do a trilogy it's 10 years out of my life. I'll finish "Episode III" and I'll be 60. And the next 20 years after that I want to spend...

    Star Wars CCG and RPG newbie

    Same with ccg's: you've got to have two players. As for what cards are best, you'll learn that as you go. Read the instructions that decipher post, or that comes with your cards (I found the booklets that came with the pre-con decks to be very useful). These instructions will tell you about...

    Star Wars CCG and RPG newbie

    I can help with the ccg. Try at a comic, card or hobby store. They should have some pre-constructed decks (they did pre-con decks for the Premiere, Special Edition and Death Star II sets). Any of them would do, but the Premiere and Special Edition are the best for starting out, plus they have...

    Darth Maul vs. Darth Vader!

    Its just the one issue. Star Wars Tales is intended to be short stories only, outside of the Star Wars contiuum. This is the only way that this kind of story could be written, in that Darth Maul died when Darth Vader was still a child.

    Darth Maul vs. Darth Vader!

    Do you really want me to spoil it for you? Ah, hell, its just a comic. Although very close, my favorite sith, Darth Vader, kills Darth Maul.

    How should I store my action figures?

    I'm moving to Japan in two months, and I need to put all of my action figures into long term storage:crying: . I'm not sure what the best way of doing this is, and I would appreciate any advice you guys can give me. Thanks!

    Darth Maul vs. Darth Vader!

    In the most recent Star Wars Tales, #9, from Dark Horse, they devote most of the issue to a knock-down, drag-out fight between two of the Darths. Its complete with Sith trash talk and some great artwork. If you can stop asking yourself, "But didn't Darth Maul get cut in half and fall down a...

    SW Novels...

    Come On! Like there's a choice. Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire trilogy was the first of the modern era novels and also the best. With the introduction of super strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn and Luke-hater Mara Jade (as well as Talon Karrde,Jorus C'baoth, and the Noghri) Star Wars stormed...

    Hard Cover, Paper Back, Audio...

    I prefer the paperbacks, just because they're easier to read and carry around. Books I collect in hardback usually have a higher quality format, paper, typeset, etc.: but the Star Wars hardbacks rarely fall into this category. I think the only ones I have are the original Zahn trilogy. The...

    Tag and Binks are Dead!

    Well, I read it, and I also thought it was funny as hell. Not always laugh out loud funny, but definitely a must read. It was kind of patterned after Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, a movie that took minor characters from Hamlet (I think) and looked at the play from their, inevitably...

    Diorama Comments: Jabba's Throne Room

    Very impressive. I especially like the texture of the walls and the designs on them. Nice touch. The posing of the figures is also very well done. Although Luke does look different from what I remember....
