My daughter is home sick today. This LEGO Star Wars Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-Wing Starfighter kit is where her attention is focused.

While Ezra's force-abilities develop, Yoda can not help but meddle, but Darth Maul may be edging in on his business!
...and I particularly enjoyed hearing her royal highness explain why she fights. Read the rest
