We’ve received a few requests for images from The Phantom Toys of Episode One exhibition we hosted at London Film & Comic Con in July 2024, in collaboration with the Prototype Archives.

As part of the 25th anniversary celebration of The Phantom Menace, this exhibition gave fans a rare and exclusive look into abandoned toy concepts from the era surrounding Episode One. The Phantom Toys of Episode One was the largest public gathering of unproduced toy prototypes ever assembled, making it a truly unique experience for collectors and Star Wars fans alike.

Visitors were able to explore never-before-seen stages of product development, from early sketches to final prototype figures—giving them a fascinating glimpse into the “what could have been” of the Star Wars toy line.

It was an incredible experience bringing this to life, and we hope you enjoy these images as much as we did creating them!

Generation Skywalker has just shared a thought to be lost episode, one of the last of the team before Craig Spivey's passing. I was lucky to be invited on the episode which covered our favourite real life cameos in Star Wars. As usual I caused a bit of chaos and threw a spanner in the works with a "reverse cameo", Wurher, the Cantina Bar Tender from A New Hope appearing in a music video with the late great Rik Mayall.
It was a giggle, Craig certainly liked it. Tune in and listen, and if you'd like to see the full music video, click the link in the comments below:

***** NEW SHOW LIVE *****

THE COMMITTEE : STAR WARS CAMEOS

The Lost Episode of one of our Committee shows, recorded in August 2023, this was one of the last shows we recorded with Craig, Craig loved a Committee show, often offering the most abstract nominations and votes, and of course on this show it's no different.

The team get together to discuss the best cameos in Star Wars, before counting down their official top ten.

Join us for the fun and debate of another Committee.

Enjoy the Show!

As we close out the final hours of 2024, let’s take a moment to relive some of the unforgettable moments and highlights from the 26th Farthest From this year. 🌟

Farthest From continues to reign as THE premiere Star Wars event—where collectors, fans, and insiders unite for exclusive stories, epic reveals, and a galaxy of Star Wars excitement!

🚀 We were honored to welcome Steve Evans, Hasbro's Senior Product Design Director for Marvel and Star Wars, to his very first Farthest From!

💰 Together, we raised an incredible £1,300 for the Salvation Army—proof that the power of the Star Wars community can make a real-world impact.

✨ Sets 5 and 6 of the Farthest From X No More Heroes collaboration were unveiled—an absolute must-have for any serious collector.

💥 The Hasbro Retro Series stole the show, with jaw-dropping reveals like the long-awaited Han in Stormtrooper disguise and the Rebel Fleet Trooper!

📚 Brian Hickey gave fans a sneak peek of his upcoming project, Total Star Wars, The Palitoy Saga—we can't wait to see it!

🎄 Our Christmas Evening Event with Generation Skywalker was, once again, an unforgettable experience filled with joy, laughter, and shared love for the galaxy far, far away.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported Farthest From this year—you are the true heroes of the galaxy! 💫
