| After a close
perlustration of the various costumes at the show I was
both impressed with the quality of some pieces and
stunned at what the camera managed to hide in others. The
TIE fighter pilot here is an excellent example: the head
piece, as seen on the cover of the SW Insider, is every
bit the masterpiece you think it is -- the rest of the
get-up (save that bad-ass little Imperial belt buckle)
consists of coagulated, compressed, and ripened curd of
milk separated from whey (it was cheesey). Do not mistake this
manner of cheesery to be a bad thing -- the real beauty
of this whole show is that Joe and Jane Fanboy can get up
close to these items, walk around them, and see them for
what they really are. I'm not even going to get into how nice those two TIE fighter models were. Damn. |
