Happy Labor Day!
Okay here is the next three "Return Of The Jedi" character figures from my re-write. You may notice that one has an almost Embo look. This is a happy accident, as my design for this figure was made around 1999. My first digital drawing was posted in 2006. This is when I didn't have Photoshop and used Microsoft paint... yikes! Here's what it looked like.
The stuff I did back then was very stylized. Glad I got the Photoshop.
So in my version of ROTJ Lando and Chewbacca have been working as Bounty Hunters in Jabba's Palace for about 5 Months. They are disguised as two notorious Hunters whom they dispatched in a trap set by Lando several months before.
Lando is disguised as the Bounty Hunter Boushh and acts as the front man for the two. He's waiting for Jabba to open his gates for a decadent celebration the Hutt orchestrates annually. Caravans of scum and villainy flood in for the festivities. He will signal Princess Leia and her Rebel entourage when the event begins.
Chewbacca is disguised as the Bounty Hunter Snoova. I used the name Snoova here and at the time I believe he was considered a cannon character. (I did however change the character's appearance and he is also not a Wookie) I thought it would be a show-stopper if I put Chewbacca in Princess Leia's place when thawing out Han Solo. Just like in the movie Han would blindly feel the mask of his rescuer and ask 'who are you?' and Chewbacca would respond through the translator in his helmet 'a friend'. (Chewbacca's first and only words in the Trilogy) Then of coarse he removes the helmet and reveals for the first time he's Chewie.
Last is Han Solo in Carbonite. This is pretty strait forward. In the story though Han does come out of the Carbonite with a hibernation illness but Chewie swiftly administers an antidote that will bring him out of it quickly.
That's it for today. Hope you all enjoy them.
