Star Wars fans will search anywhere and everywhere for spoilers, even among things that exist specifically to avoid spoilers, like working titles. Famously, Return of the Jedi was filmed under the name 'Blue Harvest' to avoid undue attention, while Attack of the Clones was (ironically) called 'Jar-Jar's Great Adventure.'
Just a short walk from the Yoda Fountain next to the Presidio Starbucks, the tightly curated store has a fair share of "Star Wars" merch but is a far cry from a toy shop.

This hyperrealistic toy vehicle set comes together with a total of 1579 pieces. It's not exactly a small build, as it focuses on tiny details that matter. The set is great for Star Wars fans of all ages, whether it's kids just getting started or adults who know every line of dialogue by heart. Minifigures include Darth Jar Jar, Bounty Hunter C-3PO, Darth Dev, Darth Rey, Beach Luke, and Jedi Vader.

Imagineering and Lucasfilm knew that Darth Vader and Kylo Ren could never appear side by side in Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland
It's Christmas of 1994, and I am 16 years old. Sitting on the table in our family room next to a pile of cow-spotted boxes is the most incredible thing in the world: a brand-new Gateway 66MHz Pentium tower, with a 540MB hard disk drive, 8MB of RAM, and, most importantly, a CD-ROM drive. I am agog, practically trembling with barely suppressed joy, my bored Gen-X teenager mask threatening to slip and let actual feelings out.
