We’re just days away from a brand new Star Wars movie! Remember this time, my friends. This is the good time. If Disney follows through on their plans, there will be a new Star Wars movie every year until the end of humans (and the return of the ‘Dactyls!). That means this feeling of anticipation that we all have will never be as sweet and hopeful as it is today.

Soon we’ll know how these new Star Warses look and feel. We’ll know where the story is going and who the players are. But right now? It’s still a glorious mystery.

Enjoy it. I am.

Today’s Lego item is…

A weapon with a shrub!

We’ve seen this type of weapon before, in both the City Calendars and the Star Wars Calendars. It’s a simple catapult that launches a tiny brick when you flick it. It’s cute and deadly, like a poisonous cat.

Frisco was eager to try it, despite Robot Snowman screaming, “Wait. Waaiiit!”

And then Stickles started to worship it. He worships everything.

Day 9 Rating: 2.5 out of 5 (Points deducted for it being the same thing we’ve seen before, but points added for that sweet, sweet shrub!)
