In the sand Storm

pushing on

an unrelenting

Separatist Swarm

Clone Troopers and Jedi

lie ahead

blaster for blaster

eye for an Eye

Without you

would the Empire fall

the astromech droid

whose circuit heart

is never small

Artoo

compact and plucky

with him at your side

you will never

be unlucky

As far as eyes can see

bleakness

blizzards and ice

Only the brave

or the foolish

venture into the frozen grave

The 501st Legion

later Vader’s Fist

charging into battle

amongst the smoke

and mist

On the planet of Naboo

Queen Amidala was her name

then Senator Padmé

after the end of her reign

Lover of Anakin

mother of two

the Empire

Luke and Leia

will help to subdue

Deep within the cave

the Crystal can be found

To the Lightsaber

the force attuned Kyber

is majestically bound

Within all living beings

you reside

with control

the air

can be gently encouraged

to glide

Like an aged dog

it lumpers over the ice

Firing it’s blaster cannons

not once but thrice

The AT-AT Walker

heading relentlessly on

until it’s enemies

are beaten

destructively gone

Headquarters of the Order

once a place

of knowledge and Secrets

after the Purge

all that was left

was silence and bleakness

Son of Jango

Boba Fett was his name

collecting bounties

gave him galactic fame

System to system

prowling in Slave One

To many

the Galaxy’s

favourite son

The devious order

that started the purge

Clone Protocol 66

gave birth to the Empire

with the Dark Lords

at it’s imperious centre

Eyegee-Eleven

kick ass assassin droid

searching for bounties

alien or humanoid

Reprogrammed by Ugnaught

a baby sitter you became

look after the little one

Grogu was his name

Cannon fodder

whose blaster Fire

seems to miss

the target by a Mile

You never win

but are cool in White

We just wish

you had more

Empire Killer Bite

The expendable Clankers

Roger rogering through the war

Being blown up everywhere

even in the Outer Core

Sure footed and furry

cute in a weird way

You can withstand cold

but boy you smell

we gaggingly say

Commander of the Death Star

the planet slayer

poor unfortunate Alderaan

didn’t stand a prayer

To test the battle station

a choice you made

with this

Princess Leia was betrayed

A fleeting appearance

which caught our attention

but then you died

gone without a mention

The Rodian Bounty Hunter

who was too slow

Greedo for episodes 5 to 9

you were no show

Hidden from sight

the Shadow Stormtrooper creeps

ready to ambush

cause the unwary to cry and weep

With his E-11 blaster rifle

he takes his unseen position

ready to complete

his dangerous stealthy mission

Searching for mysteries

within Sith Holocrons from lore

seeking power

discovered by ancients

who ruled the galaxy before

🌑

The decadent Sith

destroyed and no more

🌑

The Rule of Two

once again the ominous sign

that the Dark Side

will never be benign

The unsung hero

of many adventures

2-1B

healing souls

who wearily into battle

ventured

A great path of tracks

the Sandcrawler

creeping across the sand

the task

to find scraps

long lost

amongst the deserted land

Come on 3-So

we’re doomed you say

surely the B1 battle droids

just want to Roger Roger

play

Made of concrete

mixed with steel

doing what is right

with steadfastness

and zeal

501st

is his to lead

CT-7567

for your men

you will willingly

bleed

You may be small

you talk in beeps

but as a wingman

you clearly are

for keeps

R2D2

the indomitable one

we just wish

you had a great big

scatter gun

Resistance hero

X-Wing Fighter Ace

Can do

living life at a pace

Poe Dameron

TIE Fighter bane

blaster fire

heat and flame

I look like you

you look like me

both of us

are kick ass you see

Clone Troopers

front and centre

there is nowhere

we do not

dare to enter

Four arms swaying

four lightsabers swirling

enemies left and right

hurling

Qymaen jai Sheelal

General Grievous

The Separatist

who deceived us

No Droids Allowed

the cantina sign said

poor C3PO and R2D2

couldn’t get a juice

for their weary

circuitry head

Waiting outside

as Stormtroopers

look around

Hide guys

keep your heads

to the dusty ground

In Cloud City

an uneven battle

lightsabers clash

metal objects fly

with a crash

and rattle

A hand is lost

a revelation is said

then

a kiss from Leia

on a medical bed

Poor Pateesa

met his untimely end

after Skywalker drove Jabba

around the bend

Into the pit

the Jedi fell

the battle was over

shortly after the bell

His loss was mourned

by Malakili his keeper

inconsolable

the Jabba Palace Weeper

The forest moon of Endor

is their home

where the small fluffy ones

cutely roam

Not to be underestimated

by their size

Spears and other nasties

await the unwise

The Small Moon

ominously black

with one

fundamental drawback

It wasn’t complete

so an X-Wing zoom

made it go

a very large Kaboom

Aimlessly wandering

until he finds his head

putting it back on

with unease and dread

Whoops

it’s the wrong way round

with a twist

the Lego Stormtrooper

rejoins battle

with a leap and bound

Gaderffii stick in hand

lost in the shadows

the Tusken Raider

observing

ready to ambush

the unwary junk trader

Across Tatooine

the land speeder glides

avoiding Sand People’s

prying eyes

The Krayt Dragon

is foolishly sought

It’s precious Pearl

allows many treasures

to be bought

The blaster turret rotates

the TIE Fighter in sight

a squeeze of the trigger

we say goodbye

and goodnight

They are called

Rebel scum

I’d like to have them

as my chum

Stormtroopers

look cool in white

but the Rebels

have the killer bite

Mitth’raw’nuruodo

better known as Thrawn

The master

of tactics and strategy

manipulating the pawn

Grand Admiral Thrawn

from the regions unknown

serving his Lord

the Emperor

siting on the Sith throne

May the Force Be With You

we wholeheartedly say

is there more to this

than just a game we play

The Gold Stormtrooper

looks in the mirror

admiring his bling

his coolness

makes him go all a shimmer

Gold

apart from his blaster

which is blacker than black

He may be gaudy

but watch your back

Clone Force 99

Bad Batch is their name

Smashing the Galaxy

with infamy and fame

Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair

Tech too

give them a thermal detonator

and you

will be well and truly through

Fizz fizz

the Emperor goes

wearing what looks like

an oversized bath robe

Cackle cackle

the Emperor laughs

looking like he needs

a good old bath

R2D2

our beep-bee-bee-boop friend

with great joy I think

you drive C3PO

around the bend

Lego Millennium Falcon

you were a joy

until my daughter found you

used you as a toy

Soon

you were spread around

until magic super glue

you were throughly drowned

Remember the page

bookmark my friend

This is the Way

you directly say

The speeder bike

whizzes through the trees

this scout trooper is full of awe

feeling the breeze

Zigging zagging

this way and that

looking left then right

at the beautiful habitat

His awe is wonder

his wonder is joy

Then a tree

oh boy

I am your father

missed your awkward years

I know but come on

let me get in the beers

What do you mean

all the birthdays I missed

calm down

there’s no reason to be pissed

Pew pew

Han shot first

poor Greedo was no more

He was too slow

probably also

couldn’t hit the proverbial

barn door

Slave One

cruising

for bounties galore

flying

to a dynamic

classical score

An iconic shape

difficult to describe

nevertheless

we wouldn’t say no

to a ride

Orange isn’t my colour

but with you

jumpsuit

I could never be blue

Whizzing around

as a X or Y

Finding

shooting the bad guy

I think I use words in right order

but as I talk people look blankly

I do mumble though

quite frankly

I need a protocol droid

not C3PO

but D4FT

who will go go go

Pssshhew Nnnnnnn

I think that’s a lightsaber sound

but it’s not something

I can wrap prose around

Anyway long story short

I always wonder

are there mishaps

accidentally cut off a foot

perhaps

Maybe it’s just me

Anakin Skywalker left me cold

after his defeat at Mustafar

his new incarnation

was much more bold

Suited and booted in black

with a snazzy new name

a terror of the galaxy

the apprentice to the master

he became

Seven or eight I guess

was the age

the Galaxy appeared in my life

Some forty odd years later

my first Chewbacca toy

I still fondly remember

The boy became a man

but forever

a Star Wars fan

With bruised knees

as a child

who to be

we couldn’t decide

Han or Luke

was the choice

In Chewbacca

we didn’t rejoice

Lego Mandalorian

This is the Way

destroying the galaxy

brick by brick we say

Zipping

from Star to Star

Razor Crest

is better than any supercar

Cooler

than an ice bath

You are not quite

the psychopath

The Ice Stormtroopers

disembarked at Mos Eisley

scouring for a droid

Under the twin Suns

they soon melted

disappeared into the void

Oh boy

Ootini!

Jawa-ini

Scavenging for scraps

amongst the dunes

nowhere is safe

even the most sacred tomb

Ootini!

Jawa-ini

Travelling endlessly

across the desolate wasteland

searching for treasures

long lost amongst the sand

Ootini!

Jawa-ini

Princess Leia

for many boys of my age

you were our first love

with your eye dropping

side buns

the way you held a blaster

you made us desperately wish

for adulthood

faster

Baby Yoda

formally known as the Child

or Grogu

makes the heart skip

go wild

Not since Kermit the Frog

appeared on the scene

have we fallen in love

with something so green

Called a walking carpet

Chewbacca is his name

the co-pilot

of the Millennium Falcon

his fame

A furry giant

who talks in roars

With the scrapes he gets into

he can never ever

be called a bore

Darth Maul

for some the greatest Sith of all

For me

Darth Bane is the one

covered in orbalisks

meditating under Tatooine’s

twin Suns

X Wing vs Tie Fighter

come on

shoot the blighter

The side you cheer

light or dark

shows your

smile or sneer

Mando and Boba

is there a more awesome duo

Together

they could smash Pluto

In their beskar

they can take the hits

They both

give us the…….

Quick draw Solo

a scoundrel maybe

but don’t ever

call him a cry baby

Blasting Stormtroopers

left and right

White helmeted ones

don’t get in his sight

Jango Fett

you were a badass

threat

but your boy Boba

is the one

who smashed

the bounties

beat the rest

The Warrior rises

baby in Arms

One to protect

and see no Harm

🌑

Made of iron

a gentle Soul

Guard the little one

his only Goal

I’ve trained you well Chocolate Padawan

the Chocolate Master said

The cocoa is strong in you

ready soon you will be

A chocolate taster extraordinaire

I foresee

Lego Obi Wan Kenobi

swished his lightsaber

The Zorro of the Stars

though

forgoing the natty mask

worn by superstars

🌑

His lightsaber buzzes

limbs flying

building blocks fall

He may be titchy

two inches tops

but he stands Jedi tall

Swallowed by the Sarlacc

all thought you gone for good

Lost was the badass hero

from many

an excited childhood

🌑

Like the Phoenix you arose

or maybe stickily crawled

Your new adventures

will surely

keep us all enthralled

Lost in space

the Smugglers Moon

A place

where idle wanderers

meet their High Noon

🌑

Some to go to hide

others to find

Either way these Souls

are not a loss

to Mankind

🌑

A place to avoid

unless you want trouble

Be warned

visitors you may find themselves

buried under rubble

Yodalorian

mix and match

Badass bounties

he will snatch

🌑

Forget Superman

Batman too

Yodalorian 

is the hero for you

🌑

Cute and fearsome

all in one

This is the Way

for the Galaxy’s

favourite feisty son

As a gift I can’t think of much better

Star Wars and Lego all in one

The child in me can come out to play

whist the weather is drearily lacking sun

🌑

Sitting proudly on display

I can think of only one thing to say

This

is the Way
