Yeah I'm not a fan of those guards either. They look like they've stepped out of a Flash Gordon movie.
If so, I suppose Lucasfilm can pat themselves on the back considering that's what Star Wars was initially meant to be.
But figures from the 1980 Flash Gordon - I'd buy those.![]()
There he is! Awesome, I was looking forward to this one. Swappable heads, and removable cape. Nice look at the Praetorian Guards too.
Why? They are just directly copying a Flash Gordon costume. I know that Lucas was influenced by the adventures of Flash Gordon, but these costumes are just blatant and lazy faximilies of the 80's movie. Yeah give yourselves a pat on the the back! ZZzzzz Very original.
It is pretty nice knowing that less than a year after the film releases I'll be able to pick this up at resale for less than 200. Makes having every iteration of a character much more feasible
The guards are growing on me. It's cool to have some fresh new designs in this universe, I gotta admit. It is what it is. It's canon & we gotta deal. Be happy we are getting all of this in the first place.![]()
How this sequel trilogy is shaping up is waaaay better than no sequel trilogy at all. It's fun.
