The Saga Vault continues with the ninth episode featuring the Star Wars droid items you’ve never seen, available now on the Cinema Relics YouTube channel with Steve Sansweet, Duncan Jenkins, Gus Lopez and Vic Wertz with host Dan Lanigan; which collectible will you choose?
They are the heart, soul, and comedic backbone of the entire saga. In this episode of The Saga Vault, our panel pays tribute to the metal heroes of a galaxy far, far away: the Droids. From an ultra-rare 1980 original Kenner IG-88 acetate sculpt that birthed one of vintage collecting’s greatest action figures to an astonishing 1976 pre-release “Filmed on Earth” crew mug, a unique Japanese BB-8 whiskey glass mockup, and an original 1987 opening-year Disney Star Tours shirt, these items showcase the mechanical icons that defined cinema history. Join world-renowned collectors Gus Lopez, Steve Sansweet, Vic Wertz, and Duncan Jenkins as they battle to induct the ultimate droid relic into the Vault.
