This weeks The Saga Vault is here, an episode that looks at fan-made items, with our panelists Gus Lopez, Steve Sansweet, Vic Wertz and Anne Jenkins. Which one would you choose? Watch and find out.

Before mass-market prop replicas and high-end collectibles existed, dedicated fans took matters into their own hands to create stuff of pure legend. In this episode of The Saga Vault, our panel celebrates the unparalleled passion, artistry, and heart of “Fan-Made Legends.” From a handcrafted 1995 custom lightsaber built long before official replicas hit shelves to an intricate “Emperor of Coins” crown, custom Japanese action figures honoring actors Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker, and mind-boggling Mexican clay miniatures encased in glass bottles, these one-of-a-kind creations prove that fan craftsmanship holds a magic no store-bought item can match. Join world-renowned collectors Gus Lopez, Steve Sansweet, Lisa Stevens, and Anne Jenkins as they showcase the emotional, handmade crown jewels of their personal collections.

FEATURING:

🔹 Steve Sansweet (Rancho Obi-Wan) — the largest privately-owned Star Wars collection on Earth
🔹 Anne Jenkins (Sithsonian) — premier Dawn collector and expert crafter
🔹 Gus Lopez (Bobacabana) — the world’s foremost authority on Boba Fett & bounty hunter memorabilia
🔹 Vic Wertz (The Imperial Archives) — one of the most respected archivists in Star Wars collecting
