The Saga Vault continues with the seventh episode featuring Wildest Star Wars “Extra” Relics, available now on the Cinema Relics YouTube channel with Steve Sansweet, Duncan Jenkins, Gus Lopez & Vic Wertz with host Dan Lanigan; which collectible will you choose?
In the Star Wars universe, even the briefest background extra can become a cult icon. In this episode of The Saga Vault, our panel dives into the weird, obscure, and downright legendary world of “Extras”—the background pilots, cantina patrons, and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it characters that fans fell in love with. From an actual screen-used mask of Nanta (the heartbreaking Ewok who fell in Return of the Jedi) and an ultra-rare 1995 Riddell TIE Fighter Pilot helmet prototype to a hilarious homage container of Willrow Hood’s “Bespin’s Finest” ice cream and a vintage 1978 Cantina stamp set, this lineup celebrates the galaxy’s unsung heroes. Join world-renowned collectors Gus Lopez, Steve Sansweet, Vic Wertz, and Duncan Jenkins as they honor
