Ever on the run, the rebel band in the Star Wars trilogy typically went with a blast and scamper approach to confronting the enemy. But what if they’d had a strict policy of taking prisoners of war? Total drag!

The Lando System. (Vintage Lando Calrissian, Vintage Lobot)
It’s a rare Star Wars action figure that gets a permanent set of grinning pearly whites. The original Lando Calrissian figure from 1980 was actually packaged both with and without the white teeth/white eyes. Both versions look kind of odd in their own right, but the one with the lady-killing smile is my pick.
And Lobot? Purveyor of the Bespin puffy shirt, Lobot? Geek paradise all the way.

Well what do we have we here? Looks like Lando Calrissian in shades of pink and lavender!
Say what you will about the color palate. When Kenner released the excellent General Lando Calrissian action figure in 1985, all crimes related to 1980’s not-altogether-awesome Lando action figure were instantly forgiven.

I like to spend as little time as possible on these shots, and pretty often that means I’ll rush to post photos that at the time look good but later really start to bug me. The original Yoda post is definitely one of those. Finally (with the shot you see here) I believe I’ve gotten this one right.
