This weeks The Saga Vault is here, an episode that looks at collectibles focusing on background characters, with our panelists Steve Sansweet, Gus Lopez, Duncan Jenkins and Vic Wertz. Which one would you choose? Watch and find out.

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
the side characters who stole the show.
