Star Wars Black Series

So I'm thinking this for Starkiller's spare sabers. I'd probably need to look around for the right connectors to hold them, but this is the basic idea. Actually, scratch that, I could laser cut the right holders for this. Piece of cake.

The cantina's owner, Chalmun

I don't think I ever knew Chalmun was a wookiee. I'd say it's a disservice that he's never been shown in a movie, again, at least to my knowledge.

(So is Chewie a nudist?)

Of course not, he's wearing a bandolier. He's not a barbarian!

Whaaaaaat?

Garindan's vocals were created by using synthesized clips of old, unused John Wayne dialogue. It's uncredited, but apparently it was his last ever role. It's a fact I've heard countless times before, but somehow always forget

I'd be shocked if you are wrong. I think i saw him depicted on the cover of something, and he was also in the old Tales From The Cantina book.

Oh helllllll yeah. Imma be getting me one of those too.

I actually think I could laser-cut the right holders now that I think of it. I could totally do the floating lightsaber display with that.

If you do, and you happen to wind up with an extra one for those of us untalented enough to do it ourselves, let a nerd know!

Oh wow! That codifies Garindan as truly one of the biggest pieces of shit in Star Wars, and also I want to hug the guy who turned Wayne’s ear-paining drawl into high-pitched chirps.

They did Galens Hoth look before the Tatooine one, which is fine cause I like this look better. Definitely gonna buy him.

I imagine it was Ben Burtt.

I wish we were getting those cantina aliens in both vintage and Black Series though.

This. I did my usual double take of ‘whoah, cool Cantina aliens?!?!’, before realising they were 1:18…

That said, the aliens they did announce for BS already make this the most exciting wave in an age. I’m definitely in for Watto and a Geonosian, probably Taun We as well.

I don't love that this figure is essentially the same build as Chewie (without having seen a comparison). I always thought Chewie was small for a wookiee. I wanna see more BIG wookiees like Black Krrrsantan.

Well. I'm thoroughly whelmed by these. Taun We is cool....may get her. Watto? Ehhh....maybe on clearance. Geonosian? Probably pass on that. Starkiller looks cool, but I don't know anything about the character, and don't need him in my collection.

If those Cantina aliens were being made in 1:12 I'd be getting all of them.
