Episode 23 - Dagobah In A Box

Step into the misty swamps of Yoda’s home world as we explore one of Kenner’s most unusual Star Wars collectibles: Yoda the Jedi Master—a board game released in nineteen eighty-one during the height of The Empire Strikes Back era. In this episode, I walk through the full gameplay experience, share memories of how kids in the early eighties might have played it, and take a careful look at how to preserve a vintage item like this for the next generation of collectors.

Along the way, I’ll cover storage techniques, custom protection options, and the kind of materials I use to safely archive delicate cardboard and paper collectibles. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to keep a game like this safe after four decades—or just want to relive some early Star Wars toy magic—this one’s for you.
