Say what you will about AOTC (and you will ) but Hot Toys has seen fit to mark its 20th anniversary.

The PT was as much about the evolution of Goldenrod as it was about the evolution of Anakin!

A better Star Wars movie than the entire JJ Johnnedy Trilogy.

I think AOTC is crap and I agree with this.

Boba Fett Baby or dog looks like a shaved Danny Devito like that. A masterpiece JYE. I hope your surgery goes well because we need more of these.

Holy crap he really does lol

Wait, that wasn't intentional? I've thought that was DeVito since the first time you used that...but I could never figure out WHY you put DD's face on Boba lol...

Wait... that isn't Danny DeVito?!

I know, right?

Is it actually Temuera Morrison?

Star Wars really is just a parody of itself now.

I find no fault in your reasoning.

[Literally Any Current IP] really is just a parody of itself now.

Happy May 4th! I stumbled upon some pictures from the OT of concept art in contrast to the films, interesting to see it basically was the template.

Ralph McQuarrie's concept art is great.

They also used McQuarrie's early concept designs for the Stormtroopers to influence the design of the TK Troopers in "The Bad Batch" (TK Troopers were soldiers used in the early Imperial era as the Empire began phasing out the Clone Troopers and replacing them with conscripted TK Troopers - the TK Troopers are essentially the first Stormtroopers of the Empire).

And let's not forget the Zeb/Chewie connection. Modern Star Wars is nothing if not self-referential.

It was ditched in the OT for a reason

I like Zeb!

I love when new generations find the gold we've all known about for decades.

Do kids ever look back to those old Joe Johnston vehicles art books? Or because they are drawn in black-and-white it is just lost art?

Not sure if this is aimed at me, but Ralph McQuarrie's art is something I've been fond of for a very long time. I picked up his concept art books. I was just engaging in the conversation as Zurdo and Prime Clone brought his art up.

Perhaps a slight wasn't even intended in the first place!

I only have the ESB book, but I love it. I enjoyed seeing the nods to the concept art in Rebels.

My attitude towards xenos is this: Are they humanoid? Are they literally humans with elf ears or a different skin? Are their women hot? Are they at least cool looking? If they're not literally humans with one or two different attributes, and their women aren't hot, then

So Vulcans, Kryptonians, Eldar, Chiss, the pureblooded Sith and the such are okay. Cool-looking ones such as the Turians can stay. But Wookies, whatever the Hell Zeb from Rebels was, Orkz and whatever? They have to go. They're too ugly and they offend my aesthetics. Don't @ me, you know I'm right.
