A Storm trooper with Darth Vader
Jango Fett and Mace Windu (This can't end well)
Commander Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi
From the smoking ruins of The Silent Sorcerer's tower, Skullsword sends forth nonsensical artwork and useless gaming tools. He also likes to discuss RPGs, boardgames, miniatures painting, writing, movies, books, and whatever else strikes his fancy. Mostly though, his goal is to provide fun and goofy things to inspire others in their games. Enjoy!

Star Wars for the younger crowd (mini review)
So my youngest nephews, who are 4 and 5 respectively, have recently gotten into Star Wars. These days, with all of the other things to do out there, I don't expect that they'll stay interested in it nearly as long as I have (36 years...yikes), but I figured that you can't be into star wars without having some action figures, so I set out to fix this oversight. The problem is all of those pesky light sabers and blasters to lose. I mean what fun is Han Solo without his trusty blaster, or Luke Skywalker without his light saber? Then I came across the Playskool Star Wars Galactic Heroes. They are perfect for a kids fist Star Wars Guys, as we used to call them back when Jimmy Carter was President. :-) Their weapons are a part of the action figure, yet their arms and legs still move to allow for some degree of posing. Sure, they are kind of squatty, but I look at that more as "stylized". :-) I think they are a great intro for younger fans, plus they have a pretty wide selection and are suitable for ages 3 and up.
