Star Wars - or 'the franchise' as it's known among the aficionado - is one heck of a machine, even for those of us who think we know a thing or two about tie-ins, merchandising and gadgetry. It's a full thirty years since the childhood-defining movie went into hyperspace (you may count the years if you wish, but I wouldn't recommend it) and, let me tell you, we're still amazed by the ingenuity and quality of the industry that's grown up alongside it.

Take our wise old Yoda for example. This Jedi master is chatty indeed. Fitting neatly in your pocket as a talking keychain, he's ready to impart words of wisdom. Can you feel The Force?
