Test run on a video from these pics. Let us know if you dig this, can do more:

It lights up and plays sound?! Neat! I didn't understand the fuss until now.

Your video is great, and if you have time and if such vids generate enough hits / views, then I guess they're justified, but my interest is the photos themselves, for which I thank you!

Yeah, pics first here. This is basically just a slideshow for now. Had cool SW theme music on export, but they flagged it and had to swap in the generic stuff.

My favorite Black Series photo shoot to-date. So many iconic shots from the movie.

This shot is genuinely badass. It made me realize how underwhelming the Obi-Wan/Vader fight was in A New Hope. The prequels and Clone Wars depicted them as total badasses so it sucked to have them just hit each other's lightsabers.

Overall, this was an awesome review! I enjoyed looking at the pictures for this one more than the usual review. You took a lot of great photos.

Action choreography has progressed a lot since 1977 but yeah thankfully even by ESB in 1980 the final duel was more fleshed out and exhilarating compared to the gentle back and forth we see in the original. I think some of the fights in the prequels were too busy, like they didn't have to be swinging their sabers around nearly as much as they were.

Kylo is up!

Its SQUIDWARD FROM SPONGEBOB as a sith. Haha!

I can't stop laughing at this shot.

Haha, me either. Great minds :).

That wasn't the case actually.There had been some exciting choreographed duels before Star Wars ever came out. The reason the ANH Obi Wan/Vader duel is so sparse and conservative was because they were still figuring out the FX tech for the Lightsabers.

Well yeah of course there had been well choreographed sword duels before Star Wars but it's also still true to say action choreography has progressed nonetheless. I just meant that in Star Wars the choreography became more refined with time and yes the effects team figuring out how to make lightsabers work is a very valid reason for why the original fight was so stiff.

I gotta get this!

Looks like there's a bootleg SDCC version of Kylo Ren now? Many sellers from China/Hong Kong have popped up selling large quantities of Kylo. And one even stole images from ToyArk

Not connected to us, just for the record.

That Kylo from SDCC is getting printed for mass release in wave 1 of Rogue One. Possible they are selling early copies of that, or, selling the ones that didn't pass quality control, etc.
