     Y-wing starfighters are powerful vessels in the Rebel Alliance fleet, with ample firepower that includes laser cannons and proton torpedos. The Rebel forces make do with whatever vehicles they can obtain, and the sturdy Y-wing is a good fighter for them because it can withstand heavy attack and still remain space-worthy. During the Battle of Yavin, Y-wing fighters fend off Imperial fighters to clear a path for the Rebels to reach the Death Star's vulnerable exhaust port. Rebel pilot Lieutenant Lepira flies Gold Four, the point Y-wing for Gold Squadron at the Battle of Yavin, but is shot down during that pivotal battle....

    For a couple months there has been much buzz surrounding some Target exclusive AT-ST Battle Packs. Much like the Imperial Shuttles last year, Hasbro and Target have been mum on the subject but Bothan spies throughout the entire toy network have kept us apprised of their progress. Now, they have been spotted from coast to coast. Marjorie got some at Target, but at $50 it's a fairly hefty price tag. Is it worth your money? Listen to our review of these items to find out!

     The TIE Fighter is the standard vessel of the Imperial fleet and is equipped with twin ion engines, microparticle accelerators, and hexagonal solar panels that provide impressive speed and maneuverability. However, they have no shielding or secondary systems to accommodate the large power generators, leaving their pilots with little in the way of auxiliary support during combat. TIE Fighters are organized into wings and sent out in large swarms to overwhelm with numbers as well as firepower provided by two forward-mounted laser cannons...
