There Can Be Only One Redux: Star Wars Only

[ZE_501]

The last time we did this a lot of Star Wars showed up amongst the other properties.

Star Wars is one of the most problematic themes for collectors given the sheer number of characters and multiple versions thereof available.

If you could only choose one figure to represent ALL of Star Wars, what would it be?

I would choose R2-D2. Specifically the upcoming Hot Toys AOTC version (not because of the PT association but because it's well weathered, which is how I remember him from 1977).

It's an O.G. character with fantastical abilities, encapsulating the optimism of the saga, the magic of non-human creatures and sentient machines, showcasing the 'used universe' aesthetic.

Take a look at your shelves and picture them almost empty. One character only. Be brutal. Go!

Stormtrooper

It’s gotta be Darth Vader. One of the most recognizable characters ever created and everyone knows the name.

For me, I would select Boba Fett but in reality it has to be Vader. I do like the R2 call as well but nothing represents Star Wars like Vader.

 

[sithocan]

Vader alone. But if he's excluded, I cannot pick one since there are many fantastic characters.

 

[HPGR_Thrawn]

Was just thinking about this the other day. For me it would be the upcoming Vader from the Kenobi show. Would give so many options to tie into the various eras of Star Wars.

If not Vader, then probably Ahsoka.

It’s gotta be Darth Vader. One of the most recognizable characters ever created and everyone knows the name.

Vader was a popular choice when we did the other, broader version of this question. There was a time when I would have chosen the stormtrooper but I think at this point, my personal issue with Vader and stormtroopers is that they look cool as hell but they're evil, so displayed alone they offend my sense of optimism.

For me, I would select Boba Fett but in reality it has to be Vader. I do like the R2 call as well but nothing represents Star Wars like Vader.

Boba Fett would be a killer choice as well. Used universe, mystery, scum and villainy. Looks very retro too.

ANH Luke.

ANH Luke.

For me ... with a more accurate head sculpt, that'd be the only strong contender against R2. Would probably lose by a thin margin though.

 

[SOU7567]

Gotta go with Vader

 

[Johnny Utah]

Obi-Wan, specifically ROTS.

 

[BoosterGold06]

Vader

 

[slynger]

As much as I want to go with ESB Fett - it would have to be Darth Vader.

Specifically the Iron Studios version which I'm lucky enough to have. The iconic villain in a menacing march towards destruction of something.

 

[krieg-der-sterne]

Well,it has to be Darth Vader! Obviously,Boba Fett is on top off my list ,Vador just IS Star Wars. The imperial march is known and played always and everywhere

Vader, no question about it. He's an icon.

There's nothing evil about bringing order to the galaxy and blasting xenos. I don't see how that's not optimistic.

Anakin.

 

[Gipetto0812]

One figure in the general sense would be Vader I think. But, if I could only have one figure, then it would be Obi-wan.

 

[ZE_501]

Anakin.

Which one?

 

[karamazov80]

Ideally, A New Hope Luke. He is the most iconic Star Wars character to me, being the protagonist of the first film. But if you are talking stock Hot Toys figures, I think I will also have to go with one of the Vaders since that Luke sculpt leaves much to be desired.

 

[chrisstbh]

Which one?

ROTS since I have it, but the AOTC blows that sculpt out of the water.
