UGO interviews Lorne Peterson about Sculpting a Galaxy.

Okay. I have to own up to my own Star Wars bias: I skip all the documentaries that involve models or special effects. (I know. I’m a betrayal to my own geekdom.)

So when Insight Editions (the folks who made the gorgeous Dressing a Galaxy, last year) announced a book about the models? I was a bit torn.

Sure. I collect all the books. But I was going for the Limited Edition one. And the price is not cheap. However, I can finally admit to having fallen to the model side of The Force by saying that it is totally worth spending obscene amounts of money to pick up the Limited Edition of: Sculpting a Galaxy: Inside the Star Wars Model Shop.

Totally worth it.

With pictures of the packaging and such. Honestly, I’d just take the box…

It comes with toys! Erm, ‘three-dimensional models.’ Pretty cool. Of course, this is the limited edition for all you crazy collectors…

I can’t help but wonder what’s next in this series…

Lots of neat Star Wars stuff from Hasbro’s Comic-Con sneak peek panel. I like the comic packs. Blue Vader! Green Tarkin! Sign me up!

Sculpting a Galaxy also looks interesting, although I wonder how big the packaging for the limited edition is going to end up if they’re actually going to include a model, even a tiny one.
