1/6 Speculation: Star Wars Episode IX Figures

[xipotec]

Odd thing, cause Hoth Rebel was definitely a red shirt figure, but Hoth Luke was highly prized.

Actually , if memory serves, Hoth Rebel was assumed to BE Luke for quite some time, until the real one came out.

At least in my neck of the woods , he was revered for this possible connection, until he wasn’t...

I know my Hoth Playset got alot of milage and was complete when I sold it a few year back.



Sent from the inside of a giant slug in outer space.....

Yep, Hoth Turret/Probot playset was ftw back in those days for me. My buddy had the Imp attack base. Nobody had that Land of the jawas recast in white plastic playset (adventure set I think) - I had not seen that until the late 1990s.

The best Hoth fig to me was the rebel Commnader which looked more accurate with rifle and everything, but again was released in the second series.

The Luke Hoth came out something like 18 months or more after ESB was in theaters (3rd ESB series I think) - you really wonder who at Kenner was making these decisions... "the salt shaker FX7 droid that does nothing in the movie - let's put that in the first series for when the movie comes out. The hero of the film in one of the two major new costumes (and the most visually interesting) - eh, let's release that 18 months later..."

But yeah, I think everyone kind of used the Rebel soldier as a Luke and that was probably the intention given it was always pictured on a Tauntaun and we only ever see Luke and Han on Tauns. Let's face it, given the level of sculpt detail if you can't see the bright yellow hair, pretty much any Kenner fig could have been a Luke.

I hope you didn’t have to write that link by hand.

 

[ZE_501]

That sir, would have gotten you a punch in the nose on my street. Anything Hoth was top of the list.

[...].

Over the last several years I’ve had so much trouble focusing on my favourite locales/set pieces of the saga...but after much Geeky Reflection and Nerdy Meditation, I would say The Battle of Hoth comes in at No. 1 with all things ANH Tattooine coming in 2nd.

Leaving me with the Speeder Bike chase at No. 3.

I’m genuinely grateful to be living a life so comfortable as to have spent that much time thinking on the OT. [emoji38]

Mine has, and always will be, Bespin chamber duel. The lighting and angles in those scenes in unequaled.

All those scenes pale in comparison to Canto Bight and Rose’s liberation of the cgi horses.

Yeah, to this day that scene as Luke walks up to the platform is *tense*. So well done. I think it has even more impact on me as an adult. [emoji38]

I also think the asteroid chase with the Falcon is freaking epic.

Both of these are close seconds in terms of atmosphere and texture. I guess I like the military-meets-swashbuckling of Hoth along with fantastical technology; the grounded and grimy world-building of Tatooine, and the sheer exhilaration of the bike chase.

Very reminiscent of Schindler's List... with Fathiers.

The potential destruction of the Resistance because of the time it took to do that was totally worth it.

I'll take one Old Man Lando, please, Hot Toys, to go on my modern Star Wars killed my heroes shelf. Because, let's face it, we all know that Lando ain't making it all the way to the end credits...

To be fair, Rose was just a mechanic and Finn was a low-level stormtrooper. They probably didn’t represent the finest the resistance had to offer so not being able to keep from diverting a bit was understandable.

True, but that didn't stop Rian Johnson from devoting about an hour and a half of footage to this bumbling plight that contributed nothing to the plot of the film.

I'll take one Old Man Lando, please, Hot Toys, to go on my modern Star Wars killed my heroes shelf. Because, let's face it, we all know that Lando ain't making it all the way to the end credits...

Han shanked by his own son. Luke with a Force-induced stroke. Leia off-screen no doubt after getting blown into space once already. I wonder how Lando goes. The Star Wars universe isn't kind to senior citizens.

Bathtub electrocution when he decides to take L3-37 in the tub with him for a soapy massage. It's the only dignified way to go.

With Lando's recently unveiled proclivities, death by electric shock is probably how he'd want to go out anyway, if given the choice...
