TK421, why aren't you at your post?

Been meaning to post this pic for weeks (months). It tickles my fancy and I posed him like this by accident one day. Behold TK-421. The Obi Wan chap is my first ever SW figure, from 1977 and the only 12 Back I have left.

Was the Stormtrooper seeking for people in the Falcon, or was the dio unrelated to any specific scene?

Have you seen Star Wars, DA?

Episodes I to VI, animated and CGI Clone Wars, Droids, both Ewoks films and series, and a Shadows of the Empire fan film (spanish-subbed by myself), sir! That's why I thought it could be the scene in Episode IV where the Stormtroopers didn't find anyone inside the Falcon, sir!

Spot on DA. It's the famous TK421. My son made me scroll up and down to compare pics, Baron.

This is the beautiful thing about IV: its internal consistency as a story.

"Help me Obee Wan Kenobi .. you're our only hope."

All this made sense as the plot surged along, it's what people would say, and they said it and got away with it regardless.

Something singularly lacking in later I, then II

"Come. IN. Little LORD. Fauntleroy"

"Ree.CEEVING.O.VER.", and III's many in vain soliquouies of utter vacuity.

Pass the Parker and Palitoy.

If it hadn't of been a success, Star Wars (ep 4) may of been a one off film with no follow ups, so it was made to work as a self contained film & story in it's own right.

Maybe it was a blessing that the C.G.I. technology wasn't there in the late 70's, as I feel it's the little compromises & imperfections that make the original trilogy so good & much more believable..the more Lucas uses modern technology to make the story "true" to his original vision, the less I like it.

If it wasn't for GL and SW things might have taken longer to progress. CGI matt paintings seem to me to look less realistic than some of the ones from the OT. I do wonder if that's just because we know the locations were they were filmed and we could recognise them. Felucia in the new trilogy is probably my favourite.

what bothers me more is when the FX are shonky and not up to par. like the crappy Scorpion King monster in Mummy Returns. nowhere near as good as the dog-warriors at the beginning or the wall of water...

Blood for the Baron!
