We Are Generation Skywalker!

Welcome to the third instalment in our trilogy of Those Old Fossils Specials, in which we celebrate Palitoy and the Star Wars products they released between 1983 and 1985.
Dan returns! Pete returns ! And guest hosts Jon Aves and Dave Tree return! As we continue to move through the eighties and into the era of The Return of the Jedi. Dave opens with an overview of what was happening behind the scenes at Palitoy in 1983, then gives us a breakdown of Palitoy’s mail away offers that year. Then the team works their way through the Star Wars toys Palitoy released during that period. Pete takes us through the vehicles, creature and play-sets and Jon takes us through the figures and the various card backs.
Dave sets the record straight with the story of the sheet of uncut Trilogo cards he uncovered. And no, they weren’t use to wrap meat!!!
As well as the items Palitoy released, we also look at the Kenner toys that didn’t make it to the U.K. and finish by discussing the end of the Palitoy brand in 1985.
Along the way the hosts all share memories of the toys from their childhood and as adult collectors.
Enjoy the show.
We Are Generation Skywalker!

2024 marks 25 years since the release of The Phantom Menace.  
Just in time for May the 4th, Generation Skywalker delivers its commentary episode for this land mark movie, described by Stuart as 'the greatest movie ever made'!
So tee up Disney+ or your DVD player, or even your VHS with Episode One, and join Stuart, Dan and Jez, as they take a walk down memory lane for an irreverent deep dive into the first part of the Prequel Trilogy.
 

Earlier this year, Craig Spivey, our dear friend and fellow Generation Skywalker host sadly passed away.  Peter, Jez, Stuart and Dan are joined by our old friend Mark Daniels, in a show dedicated to celebrating Craig.
The team share personal memories of Craig, discussing Craig's Star Wars fandom along the way and the many adventures it led him on.  The team cover how Craig has influenced their own collections, as well as the wider collecting community, and talk the body of work Craig created with Generation Skywalker and the legacy of content he has left for us to continue to enjoy.

The best thing that ever happened, is about to happen again! Welcome to the second in our trilogy of Those Old Fossils specials, where we celebrate Palitoy and the Star Wars products they released between 1980 and 1982. Dan is back! Pete is back! Craig is back! And guest hosts Jon Aves and Dave Tree are back! As we move into the early eighties and the era of The Empire Strikes Back. Dave opens, with an overview of what was happening behind the scenes at Palitoy in 1980, then gives us an breakdown of Palitoy’s Boba Fett mail away offer, as well as an insight into the psychology used by toy makers with these kinds of offers. Then the team works their way through the Star Wars toys Palitoy released between 80 and 82. Jon discusses the trials and tribulations of collecting 30, 41 and 45 backs, and Dave shares his passion for Palitoy’s Bounty Hunter Offer. Craig drops in again to tell us about the Palitoy items that went beyond the toys and covers the advertising and point-of-sale materials the company continued to deploy to sell us those wonderful toys. As well as the items Palitoy released, we also cover the Kenner toys that didn’t make it to the U.K. Along the way the hosts all share memories of the toys from their youth and as adult collectors. It’s wall to wall Palitoy talk, and we would be honoured if you would join us.

Join Dan, Jez and Craig for a re-watch and in-depth spoiler-filled review of all eight episodes of Ahsoka.
So much more than just a 'live action Rebels season 5', we explore the back story, the characters, this season's arc and all of the implications for Star Wars going forward.
Cross referencing Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings with our own social media polls, gives episode some wider context, even if the team doesn't agree on every single detail.
It was a thrill to see some of these characters brought to live action for the first time, but who were the hits and misses? Which scenes sizzled? What left us colder than a Dathomiri witch's reanimated body part? And which other long-running franchise did the art direction put Craig in mind of?
Listen along and let us know your thoughts.
