New Luke Skywalker with Grogu and R2-D2 Statues from Iron Studios

We’ve received press releases for quite a few new statues from Iron Studios. The company has announced statues from many lines, but we are concerned with Star Wars here. So check out all the details about the two new statues, below.

Bringing on his right arm a Force-sensitive child called Grogu, a native of the same species as his old master Yoda, and just like him, has a strong connection to the power of the Force, the Jedi Master, wearing a cloak and black costume, contemplates with tranquility and wisdom, after answering to the small being call, that now must follow the apprentice path with his new guardian and master. One of the most exciting scenes of the last episode of the 2nd Season of “The Mandalorian” series in the Disney+ streaming service, is masterfully presented in the statue “Luke Skywalker and Grogu – The Mandalorian – Art Scale 1/10” by Iron Studios.

Answering Grogu’s call for help, master Luke Skywalker traveled in his classic X-Wing spaceship to the villain Moff Gideon’s light space cruiser that had captured Grogu. Alongside his old droid friend R2-D2, a companion of many adventures and battles, Luke arrived and faced a squad of the fearsome Dark Trooper droids, and after destroying them, Luke and R2 met Grogu and his Mandalorian guardian Din Djarin (Mando) together with his allies. Skywalker then becomes the child’s new protector and leaves with Grogu to train him as his apprentice.

The main protagonist hero of the original Star Wars trilogy, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) joined the Rebel Alliance in the fight against the Empire and had a fundamental role in the evil Emperor Palpatine’s defeat, later he sought to create a new Jedi Order. Grogu is one of the protagonists of the series derived from the Star Wars franchise, The Mandalorian. A small and charismatic being that became protégé of a Bounty Hunter and is the target of many forces that aim to capture him. Grogu was affectionately nicknamed by the audience as Baby Yoda. Already available for Pre-Order, Luke and Grogu Art Scale 1/10 form a set alongside the statue “R2-D2 – The Mandalorian – Art Scale 1/10”, also available for Pre-Order, but also individually stands out in every collection. Revealed on Inside Iron Studios Day on YouTube, check out other news from the Star Wars universe soon by Iron Studios.

The charismatic R2-D2 robot from Star Wars in the new statue by Iron Studios

He traveled many planets, navigated in space by countless spaceships, met different cultures and civilizations, interacted with several generations, played a critical and vital role while aiding his allies, witnessed the birth and fall of worlds in a galactic saga, and prevailed always present even with his small size and limited strength, becoming one of the most prominent characters of his universe. Carefully replicated to the smallest details of his structure, Iron Studios proudly bring the statue “R2-D2 – The Mandalorian – Art Scale 1/10” with the iconic Astromech robot droid, Luke Skywalker’s friend.

The first R2-D2 statue produced by Iron Studios on the 1/10 scale, presents the charismatic robot from the Star Wars universe just like in his appearance on “The Mandalorian” series from the Disney+ streaming service, over a pedestal of the floors of the villain Moff Gideon’s space light cruiser spaceship, R2-D2 joined Luke Skywalker to rescue a Force-sensitive child called Grogu, natural of the same species as Jedi Yoda. Intelligent and brave, having served many different masters through his life, R2-D2 never received a complete memory wipe or new programming, resulting in his adventurous and independent attitude. Often seeing himself in crucial moments of galactic history, his bravery and ingenuity saved the galaxy on many occasions.

One of the main and most emblematic characters from Star Wars, present in the entire movie saga, he was the protagonist of an animated series in the 1980s and appeared in many others, R2-D2 is already available for Pre-Order and besides forming a set alongside the statue “Luke Skywalker and Grogu – The Mandalorian – Art Scale 1/10”, also available for Pre-Order, he stands out individually.

Funko Brings Star Wars into the Vinyl Soda Line

When Seth Watkins, creative director at Funko, develops a new design style for a collectibles line, he almost always starts with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Chewbacca. Even if those characters aren’t on the release slate.

“They each present very different challenges: facial likeness, hands and clothing, hard surfaces and details, and how to stylize hair and fur. I must have drawn these guys a thousand times in a hundred different styles!” he tells StarWars.com. “With these three characters you can answer almost all the questions that need addressing for any other character from any other license.”

It looks like that exercise will finally pay off in a more direct way for Funko’s SODA line, as the galaxy far, far away is set to join the vinyl figure-in-a-can series. First up are two Star Wars icons — including one who isn’t part of Watkins’ design warmups — in Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett, both inspired by their looks in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. You can get a first look below before the figures arrive this month.

Who Played [SPOILER] in Yesterday’s Episode of Boba Fett?

Yesterday’s episode of The Book of Boba Fett might have been some of the best Star Wars we have seen since Disney took over the franchise. In fact, I would go out on a limb and say that it is what many fans hoped would be the result of Disney taking it over. There were plenty of surprises to go around, so if you have not seen episode 6 From the Desert Comes a Stranger, then please STOP reading now!

The last we saw of Luke Skywalker was in The Mandalorian‘s season 2 finale. In that episode, Lucasfilm used a combination of “deep fake” technology, de-ageing techniques and Mark Hamill to transform actor Max Lloyd-Jones into everyone’s favorite farm boy turned hero.

Although the episode was a success, some fans brought up a few minor criticisms with the “not-as-great-as-it-could-be” look of Luke. Lucasfilm then brought in deep fake artist Shamook as a Senior Facial Capture Artist after his much improved version ended up going viral on social media.

Fast-forward to today’s episode of The Book of Boba Fett and the new improved technology looks much improved. Actor Graham Hamilton is listed as Luke Skywalker’s “Performance Artist.”. He is also credited as playing one of the X-Wing pilot’s in the previous week’s Return of the Mandalorian episode.

A Clone Wars era character also made his live-action debut in this episode in the form of Cad Bane. While the voice sounds a little different from The Clone Wars animated series, it has been confirmed that voice-actor Corey Burton was brought in to voice the character once again.

It really seems like things are finally looking up for Star Wars again! I know I can’t wait for the finale next week!

About The Book of Boba Fett:

On the sands of Tatooine, bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigate the Galaxy’s underworld and fight for Jabba the Hutt’s old territory.
