THE MODERN WAY 29 : THE FORCE AWAKENS TOY SPECIAL | STAR WARS TOYS

In this special episode of The Modern Way, the hosts travel back ten years to the launch of The Force Awakens - not through box office numbers or plot twist, but through the toys that defined a new era of Star Wars fandom.   From midnight Force Friday hauls to shelves packed with Rey, Kylo Ren, BB-8, and Stormtroopers in fresh white armor, this toy special explores how The Force Awakens reignited the magic of collecting for longtime fans and a whole new generation of kids. A decade later, generation Skywalker asks what those toys meant then, how they've aged now, and what they reveal about nostalgia, hype and the legacy of Star Wars.  Whether you were tearing open the blister packs in 2015 and enjoying the pack in accessories, or discovering these figures years later, this episode is a reflection on this line - ten years on.  And just how good the line is, is not lost on the team... ...will Jez make a TFA purchase???? Enjoy the show.
