I promised in my last postthat I’d share some pics of my Star Wars shelves, probably as an addition to my usual Entertainment Update. But this seemed worthy of its own post, so let me introduce you to my most prized possessions, lol.
So here are my two Star Wars shelves. The tall one contains all the canon books and references, and the smaller one is my Legends shelf. (The shelf to the right of that is my husband’s shelf of marbles, dice, old bottles, and other shiny, fun little ephemera that he fancies). So here’s the top of the canon shelf, which contains almost all of the High Republic novels (adult and YA). Trials of the Jedi, the last book, I had to put on the next shelf down. I put my Acolyte Funkos of Yord, Sol, and Osha here. Though they’re not in these books, they’re a part of the later High Republic as seen in The Acolyte. I love my “life-size” Grogu; the little diorama is something my husband found for me at a flea market. A thrift shop framed photo tops it off. The second and third canon shelf. Most of the paperbacks are in chronological order, and the hardcovers are new ones mostly shelved in release order (but not always, lol). It’s getting to the point where they go wherever I can find room. I love my Cassian and Wrecker figures; Cassian is near Rogue One books, and Wrecker is where I could fit him. I have Cal Kestis near the Battle Scars book, and if you look closely, you’ll see a tiny Padme figure next to the Queen books. The Luke with Grogu Funko is just adorable.Fourth and fifth canon shelf. The fourth has odds and ends, like short story collections, Ian Droescher’s Shakespeare collection (the original trilogy), Carrie Fisher’s The Princess Diarist, journals, cards and games, and canon books I have yet to read (Thrawn, Ronin, Tarkin, etc). Good place for my Rey Funko, and beloved Hello There Obi-Wan. The bottom shelf has magazines (SW Insider as well as others), comics, and reference books. Grogu is everywhere, of course, and I love my Rey figure with BB-8. This shelf is newer, since I started my Legends Reading Challenge. I get the books as I come across them or when I get to the book to read, so most of these aren’t read yet. I’m still in the Old Republic phase, but getting close to finishing that one. One mug contains some SW Topps cards I’ve come across, and the other holds SW bookmarks. And naturally lots of little Grogu knicky-knackies. Bottom two of Legends shelves. Some YA or middle grade Legends books, some different-sized Clone Wars books, and an Essential Legends of Shatterpoint (The Essential Legends are gorgeous, but I’m going to stick with the original release covers from now on). And all the rest of my figures and knick-knacks. I love my big BB-8, and the Obi-Wan figure from his show. Also Cloud City Han and Leia figures in the back my husband got me. And a big, BIG Mando, lol.
And that’s it so far. 🙂 These shelves will continue to grow and become stuffed with each new book, and I’ll probably have to find a place for the figures and Funkos. I’ve stopped getting the toys for the that reason–I just don’t have the room, and I’d rather save it for the books.
Share your Star Wars shelfies if you have them, I’d love to see them!
Impressive….most impressive with some great titles by some great authors, however it seems to lack a certain something. You need a lightsaber hilt (I see that your Ahsoka, Rey, Obi-Wan and Luke figures have theirs but they don’t really count) – you need a proper saber to protect your collection.
Unfortunately due to lack of space in my apartment (and now a leaking roof to deal with) I don’t have a Star Wars display so thanks for sharing yours.
A lightsaber hilt would indeed be very cool to add to the collection. The really good ones seem to be out of my price range, however, lol. Maybe someday. I’ll content myself with looking at your lovely digital creations. 🙂
*Vader breathing sound* Impressive…. most impressive. 🙂
My Star Wars collection is mostly made up of T-shirts. My extended family has been made to understand that if they’re flummoxed for gift ideas, adding to this collection is a pretty safe idea, and old ones are always wearing out quickly enough that there’ll never be a need to worry I have too many.
I’ve been working on my T-shirt collection as well. I think I’ve got about a dozen or so. Paid full price for a few, but I’m often combing the thrift store racks to see what I can find, lol.
Your source for everything Obi-Wan Kenobi. This is the companion blog to the @AllThingsKenobi Twitter. Because our love doesn't always fit into 280 characters.
