We sit down with Steve Perry and Michael Reeves, co-authors of Death Star, to discuss the book and how it came to be.

All this and more on this week's Star Wars Action News. Now more Muggly than ever! One of the great joys of collecting items like Hasbro and Gentle Giant and Sideshow is that it truly seems never-ending. No sooner do you think you finish with one line then another pops up. Such is certainly the case right now with Hasbro figures; as most people are starting to put their 2007 collections to bed, reports are coming in about the first wave of 2008 figures being spotted at Wal Marts, including by our own customizing expert Darth Kozy. Kozy sat down and tore open his Wave 8 finds and recorded his thoughts on these newest of figures. Of course sometimes you do hit a dry spell with no new action figures to buy, and when that happens...well, Jakob is here to tell us what he did in that situation.
