What’s the Star Wars Lego stormtrooper minifigure to do, stuck in the computer keyboard looking just like he’s stuck in quicksand. Or maybe he is just playing hide and seek.
Star Wars fun facts - In the book Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina a stormtrooper squadron called Alvien was assigned to set up roadblocks around Mos Eisley in order to try to stop C-3PO and R2-D2 from escaping the planet Tatooine.
Luke Skywalkers adoptive Uncle was Owen Lars. Owen was Obi-Wan Kenobi’s younger brother and people always thought he would be as great as his famous brother. Owen did not want that kind of stress, so he moved to Tatooine with his wife, Beru Weth, and they set up a moisture farm.
You know the story - They raised Luke as their own son and did their best to keep Luke from realising his true identity. Owen bought the R2-D2 and C-3PO droids , Luke tried to talk him into going to the Academy early. Owen refused to let him go. Luke stormed off. Owen Lars was killed when a group of Stormtroopers were tracking down R2-D2 and C-3PO and burnt down the moisture farm when they did not fine them.
Phil Brown was the actor playing Owen Lars in Star Wars movie but Thomas Hill did the character in the Radio version.
Here is a fantastic Star Wars movie – made completely in paper. Gee some people are talented, aren’t they? I am not sure about the music that plays, doesn’t suit the movie for me.
These maybe are the droids you are looking for. A funny take on the the movie saying with Stormtrooper figures looking through E-bay for the R2-D2 and C-3PO toy figures.
Alvien was the name of the Stormtrooper squadron that was assigned to set up blockades in Mos Eisley to stop R2-D2 and C-3PO from fleeing Tatooine.
In the first draft of Star Wars Artoo Deetoo was designated A-2 not R2-D2 .
According to the original Revell model kit, R2-D2's serial number was Y477Q90 and the instruction sheet says that R2-D2 was manufactured by Imperial Cybernetics Corporation.
Well this isn’t a cool Star Wars photo but is a cool Star Wars video. This online video show the best three Star Wars movies – the original trilogy episodes IV - A New Hope, V - The Empire Strikes Back, and VI - Return of the Jedi. All in with Star Wars Lego and all three movies in around three minutes.
Not sure who has done this drawing of a Jawa scavenger but isn’t it great. Really shows what the Jawas looked like – maybe it is a sketch of the characters when making the movie?
Jawa are those little desert-people on Tatooine, they have large, glowing eyes which look out from their dirty cloak looking clothes. Their language is really hard to understand – unless you are a Jawa I guess. They seem to work in packs but are really cowards. They work together in small little groups to collect
anything and everything that they could possible sell to anyone willing to buy. They were the ones that sold C3PO and R2D2 to Lukes uncle.
This old original Star Wars photo looks pretty good. A heap of Star Wars stortrooper actors and a … actually what is the creature called, it’s not a Tauntaun because they were on the ice world Hoth and this is the planet Tatooine. Now I know, the creature is a Dewback, isn’t and from episode 4.
When the original Star Wars Ep IV movie was being made, the Dewback creature was, of course, a huge mechanical kind of puppet that could not move easily. With the weather and sand at Tunisia it would not work properly, so it was always moved to back and hidden away in the background of scenes rather than seen close-up. A single Dewback could be seen during the Imperial search for the droids and this is what this old photo is from. The same Dewback puppet was used outside the Mos Eisley Cantina.
When George Lucas remade the newer version of Episode IV Special Edition he had the Dewback changed and made the Dewback much more mobile. He got GCI artists to make computer generated Dewbacks and put them in the scenes. They even added computer made Stormtrooper riders. I think I have mentioned I don’t like the CGI changes at all, they look even worse and stand out more than the cool star wars puppets.
