LEGO Fortnite with The Mandalorian and Grogu

So, aside from Droid Tycoon, I have been spending some time in LEGO Fortnite. Specifically, the Odyssey mode, not Brick Life. Partly, because there are build parts and schematics to earn by playing. I actually started dabbling a bit with it again before the Star Wars drops with the Ninjago stuff from the Battlepass. Not so much because I care about Ninjago, but that pass includes 3 Airships. In short, what I have actually been messing with, is vehicles in Lego Fortnite. Because the Madalorian quests have added some more vehicles and new mechanics with the new Hover Brick. Before…

Fortnite – The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party

Boy, this new Star Wars mode in Fortnite has the WORST name. Its simply "The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party", which suggests its just a place to go watch a movie clip. Especially since they have had watch party events before that were mostly just "watch this movie clip". This thing is so much more, its basically a little event based RPG world set in Navarro. I am not going to discuss the movie clip, its probably just part of a cold open action bit, its fun, I am… not sure it really made me excited for this movie. It…

Fortnite Droid Tycoon B-8 Event

So, I suspect, and hope, that this is just going to become a regular rotating event, especially since the Droid Dex now lists a Mister Bones Mythic as well. Basically, every few hours, there is "some kind of event". Because if not, its been horribly done. So, Droid Tycoon is well, a tycoon game. You get a level 1 base, you buy money generators (Droids), and upgrade the base over time. There isn't really an end aside from collecting all the Droids, you can't even keep them all, you don't have the space. I've gotten into it enough that I…

Star Wars Ahsoka Season 1

Note: This ended up way longer than I expected it to. Despite efforts to convince me to do otherwise, I can't handle watching shows in weekly episode instances anymore. Sorry, I just can't. So the method these days is to simply, wait for them all to be available, then binge them all in a few sittings. I can barely spread these sittings out. For Ahsoka, I watched 4 episodes one night, then a few nights later, I watched two more. It was getting close to my normal time to go to bed, because that's how old people work. I said…

Star Wars Black Series Figrin D’an

I've really cut back on the Black Series of late, but occasionally something comes up that I still like. In this case it's Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. This is a figure that's honestly, not real exciting, a weird looking alien who is part of a Space Smooth Jazz Band. This is also one that kind of warrants needing more than one, because who wants just one band member? I wasn't too keen on buying 6 of him though, so I opted for 3, especially at like, 60% off. Basically, 3 for the price of one. If the 7th…

Star Wars Black Series – Chirrut Imwe

I cannot, for the life of me, properly remeber Chirrut Imwe. I keep wanting to go with Churrit Imwe, or Chimwe Irrut, or some backwards variation. Last week I commented on his partner Baze Malbus. So Chirrut Imwe is the closes thing Rogue One has to a Jedi in it's cast. Ok, technically Darth Vader is in the cast, but he's kind of a minor character who mostly exists for fanservice. It's never super clear if Chirrut is force attuned or anything, though given his martial arts skills adn that his character is blind, it seems likely. Unfortunately for Chirrut,…

Star Wars Black Series – Baze Malbus

Star Wars: Rogue One gave us a nice interesting ensemble cast of heroes. What it didn't really produce was a particularly great line up of figures. A couple of the more interesting characters in the movie and figures are Baze Malbus and his partner Chirrut Imwe. Both of these figures were actually kind of hard to come by for a while, partially because wave 1 of the Rogue One waves sold incredibly poorly. For a good while, you basically were looking at paying a ridiculous mark up on either figure on the secondary market. I've seen both show up at…
