Kenobi v. Vader
Modern Star Wars action figures do have their benefits. Accurate sculpts, articulating limbs, better weapons… trust me, I get it. This Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Original Trilogy Collection is a near bullseye. Everything perfect except for the ridiculously roomy cloak. And with two interchangeable head sculpts, the Ralph McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader is just all […]
Jailbreak!
Deeply critized for its shortcomings, the plan to rescue Han Solo from Jabba’s palace was pretty much a disaster from the word ‘go’. At least we’ve got some kick ass action figures to show for it. So I’ll say no harm, no foul.
Tusken Raider.
Jawas, Night.
Although the Jawa action figure was among the original 12 released by Kenner in early 1978, it was a few months or more after the initial wave that he (along with the dynamite ‘Sandpeople’ figure) showed up on my local toy shelves. I can still remember my happy surprise to find that Kenner wasn’t finished […]
Uncut, Scene 194.
With Scene 194 in the can, the micro-trilogy of my Star Wars Uncut scenes is now complete! Han Solo and Greedo hammer it out right here. Unlike Scene 18 and Scene 323, this one didn’t have a lot of motion to conquer. Just two dudes talking. So I found myself with time and energy to […]
Uncut, Scene 323.
Ready to roll on stop motion animating scene 323 for the Star Wars Uncut project. This one looks to be tougher than the first. And I’ll be straight up with you, that one was a bitch.
Leia Shot First.
OK, I guess announcing a hiatus was premature since I find myself compelled to post cool frames from my stop motion animations. This one’s from the completed Scene 018.
Uncut, Scene 18.
A glimpse of the set I’ve put together for the first of three scenes I’ll be filming for the Star Wars Uncut Project. Going with stop-motion animation. Only one day into it and already I can see that I’m in for a daunting, rewarding, and educational experience. Huge thanks to Whit at DBSW for his […]
Nikto & Weequay.
Or, alternately titled “Bad Cop, Worse Cop”. Despite being straight-up ugly to the core, these two Jabba the Hutt cronies rate all high marks in my book. Great details. Sophisticated color palates. And they both tote that groovy vibro axe thingy (which, although not proven, is likely the coolest weapon in the vintage line). Also […]
