Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Rorywan]

I think if do this set up must have a empire strikes back poster behind him somewhere......

I have this original storyboard artwork. Not sure exactly how i'm gonna set it up. But they are going together..

Here's a quick shot of Luke hanging.

Looks awesome, but how are you gonna turn the lights off?

How else would you have had the story told? I get that there are some annoying aspects to the PT, like Jar Jar, but in terms of the story how else did you think it was going to go?

You gotta realize that people that grew up with the OT have had 20+ years to fathom up a story to how **** went down before A New Hope. No matter what Lucas came up with and gave us was NEVER going to live up to those thought out scenarios.

As one suggested earlier (I think in this thread) Maul should not have been a *****. He should have lasted the whole Trilogy and be striked down by Anakin/Vader in Episode III much like the scene with Dooku.

Both Episode I and II could have been shorter and made into one film in my opinion. Less Episode I the better. I did like Qui Gon. Totally eliminate Jar Jar altogether. You had 3PO and R2 there for comic relief so wtf is Jar Jar even there for.

I thought the "Clones" being from a Fett was ridiculous. It lessens the cool factor of the Mandolorian Warrior. Fetts back story in the Expanded Universe was SO MUCH COOLER. Why Lucas couldnt have kept that is beyond me. .

I think Episode III could have been expanded into two parts Episode II and III. Taking A LOT from the animated "Clone Wars" shorts where General Grevious was actually feared and a total Jedi Hunting Bad Ass, which we never saw in the films.

Thats just from working with what George actually ended up doing.

Think about what others have conjured up in their minds prior to the Prequels? Im sure theres a few out there that could have done a far better job that what Lucas did.

Hell, look at the Force Unleashed.

I actually thought the Clone War was going to be much more as a kid. I always had an idea of the Jedi Knights fighting an endless supply of clones. As opposed to an endless supply of droids...

As a kid I always thought the "Clone Wars" was going to be the Epic grand battle between Jedi and "Clones" yes, but I always thought those clones were going to be of specific people. Like I figure General Kenobi would have faced off against a Clone of himself and so on. Of course that was what I thought as a kid. Kinda goofy now when you think about it.

But it still would have been better than a bunch crappy looking Droids.

Stepping in poop and giving Palpatine unlimited power.

Where is the switch on the weather vane at ? It would be cool if was just motion activated lighting.

That is exactly what I thought the Clone War was about too.

How does the weather vain mount to the ceiling? Screws? Magnets? Suction cups? God I hope not the last one.

 

[jedijim3002]

Still watching phantom menace review and laughing my a$$ off.

 

[mortifactor]

I think somebody should make a lightbox with the view of bespin in the background from the film, like the HT promo pics, and have the stand infront of that. would look great

Yep, it's screws, jedijim.

That was my thought, as well. Would be a killer display.

Is that a heat vent or a return vent?
You're not worried that the heat would warp the figure or the weather vane?
Unless it's for central air,then there's no worries.

That's a great pic BTW!
Where's the switch to turn the lights on/off?
Easy to reach I hope.
