While most of this blog focuses on vintage Star Wars toys, we do cover newer and novelty toys as well. One category of game that has seen a lot of innovation is the game of chess. There are plenty of new and old (not so much vintage) Star Wars chess games available out there.

Space slugs make their habitats in asteroids, where their tails act like a root system and tie into the asteroid's core. Many space slugs have been found in the Hoth Asteroid Field, some reaching thousands of feet in length.

Space slugs mostly feed by absorbing an asteroid's minerals through their roots. However, smaller space slugs will also devour mynocks (in large space slugs, devoured mynocks are not digested and instead become parasites within the space slug). Large space slugs will also consume starships, and have been known to eat sections of Imperial Star Destroyers that flew too close.
