Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   
Yet another inferior quality "toy" unscrupulously pushed onto 2nd generation Star Wars fans! Just like any action figure produced in the last 10 years, (Y'know, the ones that can't stand up or hold any weapon!) the expectations far exceeded the result. I swear that more design and thought goes into the packaging and marketing of the Lucasverse than any actual play value. It seems that every modern Star Wars product is really just supposed to be displayed in the box. Once you take it out to use it, you see it for the piece of crap that it truly is.

I disagree with some of the reviewers who are complaining about blurriness. It's a tiny circle shining light in a big square room. Unless your kid bunks under a low dome, of course it's going to be blurry in spots. On the bright side, half of the Star Wars galaxy map simply says "Unknown Regions," so you don't even have to look at that side of the room! Whether the other dome actually projects "Earth's sky" is up for debate. It just looks like a bunch of evenly spaced dots to me without any labels or supporting materials. I'd love to find out if there is actually any accuracy in the placement of those 'stars.' Well, I would, but it doesn't really matter since this product is now useless after just 3 nights.

Firstly, the 2 light bulbs and 2 screws that came with it were so tiny that they were almost lost in the packaging. The 4 pieces were wrapped so tight into a tiny taped bundle no more than 3/4" long and 1/4" wide. I had thought they were not included after my son tore open the packaging, but later found them across the room. It just looked like a tiny piece of plastic bag.

The first of those two bulbs burnt out the first night. And I mean burnt. It was totally black inside. Now, in full disclosure, my 8-year-old son may have fallen asleep without turning it off. But thank goodness they had enough decency to include a spare bulb, right? So, I changed the bulb and we used it about 5 minutes on the next night. But that second bulb didn't last more than 30 minutes on the following night. WTF!? Really? Didn't they learn anything from Return of the Jedi? Make the second one stronger or it, too, will quickly be destroyed! I don't even know if replacement bulbs are available. It looks kind of like an LED bulb, but if it was, I don't think that it would have burnt out so quickly, or burnt out at all.

If this wasn't a gift from Grandma, I'd seriously consider taping all of those garbage action figures to it, sticking an M80 inside, pressing 'record' on the camera, and running like hell. I'm sure that the 'durable' plastic joints on each of those guys would disintegrate into a shower of shrapnel not seen since Alderaan took one for the good guys. Well, I'm not going to be taken in by any Star Wars Schwag anymore. If I want my kids to experience stars at bed time, we'll sleep outside. And if they want to have an action figure instead of an inaction figure, we'll get the vintage guys on eBay!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money November 17, 2010

Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 2.0 out of 5 stars   
I bought this for my two older boys (8 & 6) because they love Star Wars and are interested in stars and planets. Its a cool idea except if you don't have a perfect 12X12 room, its a waste of money. All the walls need to be flat. No windows, closets, ect. The stars and planets are very blury. Almost too hard to read. The batteries run out after an hour or so as well. They didn't play with it again after the first night.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solution for bulb problem January 4, 2012
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
I came here primarily looking for a solution to the bulb issue. I was not able to find the correct bulb, which is a mini halogen, BUT since its the holiday season I was able to mcguyver a workaround. I pulled an LED bulb from one of my christmas strands, and while the prongs are a little long, it fits and lights up just as bright as the stock. If this fails I'll post a follow-up, but it appeared to work pretty well.

The halogen burns out for 2 reasons .. one those little halogens get extremely hot and that's an enclosed unit. Secondly, any contaminents will cause it to overheat. Basically if you use bare hands and don't clean the bulb with alcohol after installation, its contaminated.

So, as far as the toy itself? My 9 year old son thinks its the coolest thing ever. It's about the quality you would expect from a $20 toy and its a map of the star wars galaxy. So I think its cool. Pain to put together as others have mentioned. But it is unique and something that lights up a kids room at nights ... kinda like walking around a city, gives them a reason to look up for a change.

So yeah if you buy it just go ahead and find some replacement LED christmas bulbs and use those instead and save yourself some hassle down the road.

This item is really cool. My biggest gripe about it is the it burns through the batteries. It would be better if it had a power cord. The batteries are also a pain to change. Read more
