Irrespective whether you currently own it, or you never have and/or you have little, or no chance to for whatever reason (like it’s no longer produced for example), what’s currently your favorite ever Star Wars collectable and please say why for anything named. If you have a top 3, 5, or top 10, that’s fine.

my Power Of The Force 1997 AT-AT walker . My ex wife won it for me in a bidding war on Ebay for our first wedding anniversary . It was my most wanted toy as a kid …the original Kenner AT-AT that is . I have wanted one since 1980 …this one is close to that with more bells and wistles , but I believe made from the same mold . She got it for 80 bucks in 2004 . Has very sentimental value to me and I will never willingly part with it .

Mmm, picking just one is difficult. I’d say if I had to sell off my collection I know the last thing that I’d part with, so I guess it would be my favorite.

The eFx PCR Darth Vader helmet. There are higher quality (and much higher priced) Vader helmets out there, but for the money this thing is spectacular. It’s a replica of the original 1977 helmet and it has a well documented lineage that traces directly back to that original screen-used helmet. Basically, some time after filming Rick Baker cast a mold of the actual screen used helmet (probably in 1978) and that mold was digitally scanned and used as the basis for this prop replica.

Other runners up would be my Hot Toys ESB Darth Vader 1/6 figure, my Mafex Boba Fett figures (both ESB and ROTJ versions), and, of all things, my micro machine collection. I always loved Star Wars micro machines and when they started producing them again when TFA came out, I dove in hard. I was quite disappointed when they canned the line again after R1 but I’m glad we got what we did.

I NOT an Empirialist I would hands down have to say The Millenium FALCON the coolest best vehicle in all the movies. I also like the AT AT Walkers and like snowspeeders as well. What’s your favourite vehicle(s) of all three of the movies?

So far I only have a SW IV George Lucas edition style D Circus 27x39 one sheet poster. though I am waiting for my Snap tight SW TESB Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder. For the poster it just goes with my wall As for the Snowspeeder cause I like SW model kit and it was in expensive to purchase online and i am also going to purchase the TESB AT-AT walker very soon from a seller online. What’s your favourite SW memorabilia?

Ooh Good Question For me i bought a Large Size ROTJ version Millennium Falcon model kit From MTC recently and still haven’t even opened the box yet to put it together and paint it yet. I also bought a 1/144 size AT-AT From banzai as well as 1/48 scale T-47 Snowspeeder from the internet. Painted them both with wear & tear. So what do you have?

You sound just like me. The Falcon IS the best of all the vehicles in the Star Wars Anthology. (IMO)

I’m quite fond of my 1993 Star Wars Soundtrack Anthology. It’s from that era in my childhood, when Star Wars was these 3 incredible films and all you could really do to get more of that is to play games, read novels, comics, etc. The case is simple, the original Jung poster showcased in this large rectangular box. That era when Lucasfilm was proud of the poster art that accompanied their films.

I didn’t have the fortune of having this box-set as a child. The closest thing I had was that Sony disc with John Williams conducting excerpts from the Trilogy.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Probably the 20th Century Records vinyl of Star Wars. And the first issue RSO Empire Strikes Back.

I’ve heard various things over the years that either the Japanese or UK pressings were better but all I have is the US release.

If it has to be a release of the movies it is the 1995 THX Boxed set, with the making of trilogy on Laserdisc. Good picture for laserdisc, great audio. And I don’t mind the Japanese subtitles, though not having the Huttese dialog is a complaint. I do have the 1997 and 2000 sets but I haven’t watched them. Other than to sample the quality of the audio which was excellent. But George can keep Greedo shooting first.

When I was a kid it was my mileneum falcon. Now it is my black series Mara Jade action figure.
