Amazon had dropped the price significantly for The Vintage Collection Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi), now down to $4.99. Click here for the product page.

It’s not Star Wars, but definitely related to the fanbase (and Star Wars news is slow right now…). So let’s discuss the latest Indiana Jones release: The Dial of Destiny. Click through for a spoiler discussion. How did you like it? How did Old Indy hold up? How did young Indy hold up? After seeing it last night I thought it was a nice improvement over The Kindom of the Crystal Skull in both story and effects (the CGI in Crystal Skull was pretty bad), and de-aging tech has come leaps and bounds from even from the recent The Book of Boba Fett Luke Skywalker. 

Gentle Giant has several new pre-orders up:

• Darth Vader™ (Damaged Helmet) Legends in 3-Dimensions Bust
• Grand Admiral Thrawn™ (on Throne) Premier Collection Statue

Hasbro posted an image on their Social Media accounts teasing their upcoming Haslab announcement, making it look more likely that the long-rumored Ghost will be announced as the next Haslab. The translation:
