Toy Corner: Star Wars Barbie Dolls: C-3PO, Chewbacca, Rey and Stormtrooper

Barbie is adding four new dolls to its Star Wars collection. This second collection includes dolls inspired by C-3PO, Chewbacca, Rey and a Stormtrooper. Last year, Barbie released dolls inspired by Darth Vader, Princess Leia and R2-D2 Dolls, I guess the first collection was so popular the company decided to create more.

These dolls which are really cool are mainly for collecting or displaying only especially for the price. C-3PO, Rey and Stormtrooper are $100 each while Chewbacca is $150. I'm not sure why Chewbacca is $50 more perhaps it all the faux-fur featured throughout the costume. The only one you can buy right now is the Stormtrooper, however, you can pre-order the other three dolls.

Storytime: Anthony Daniels reading "Star Wars: Galactic Adventures"

I wanted to end May the 4th with a storytime video of Anthony Daniels. For anyone who doesn't know, he stars as C-3PO in the Star Wars movies and voices the character in animated series and movies. Anthony Daniels also wrote the book, I Am C-3PO - The Inside Story that was released last year.

For this storytime, he's reading a story from Star Wars: Galactic Adventures about about R2-D2 going on a mission to save his friend C-3PO who somehow got captured by the Empire. I would love to know how that happened. I hope you'll enjoy this story for Star Wars Day!

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker "They Fly Now" Clip

This is a cool action packed scene from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker but it's the reaction from C-3PO, Finn and Poe that made me laugh so much. I can't believe after they saw stromtroopers flying using jet packs they each repeated "they fly now". I wouldn't be surprised if Chewbacca said the same thing. Especially, since he said something first.

That little bit of dialogue was so unexpectedly funny that it stood out more than the action. What do you think ridiculously funny or just ridiculous?

Trailer for "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker"

I know most have seen this trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, I meant to post it several days ago but I was still processing it. I'm excited to see this movie, I think it's going to be a thrilling finale to the series. It's really good seeing Lando back and I love that this trailer has a lot of Finn/Poe scenes but it's also sad seeing General Leia and that scene of C-3PO. I hope it doesn't mean this will be the end of the know-it-all droid, he's one of my favorite characters. If it is, I just hope they give him a proper send off.

I can't believe it's the end of this chapter of Star Wars, we all know it's not truly the end of this franchise just the end of the Skywalker saga. The movie will be in theatres Friday, December 20th.

Fashion Meets Comics: Two Her Universe Halloween Star Wars T-Shirts

Just in time for Halloween, Her Universe has two new Star Wars T-shirts to celebrate the holiday. I like both of the shirts but my favorite is the one with the skeletal form of C3PO and R2-D2.

And a suggestion for anyone who is not really into wearing costumes why not wear one of these instead. It's a simple no hassle "costume" leaving you worry free for Halloween.

Side Note: I check the sizes before I posted and noticed that the Skeledroids is limit with the only sizes available (at the moment) are: XS, S and L. I did contact Her Universe to see if more will be available.
