| This Biker Scout here was
the finest of the Imperial troops on hand-- checkout that
high-speed action pose! Just to the right of Mackenzie in
the same showcase (out of view) was an unarmed Wicket
costume (gives a fella an appreciation for just how short
that Willow guy really is). Now that I look back it
occurs to me that only one outfit included a gun (Fett),
and only two others carried weapons (Boushh and surprise,
surprise, it's Lando in disguise). Odd, eh? Some pieces
were in need of a weapon, like the Rebel Trooper here,
who looked as though he didn't know what to do with his
hands. Quite a few pictures were taken between here and the Yoda display, the ones I really would have liked to have shown included: Han in carbonite (hey, you've seen him before anyhow, right?), Lando's superfly Cloud City wardrobe, a revealing slave-Leia outfit (hubba-hubba), Ackbar (who consisted of a pair of flippers and a fish-style head attached to an otherwise very human form -- how he got those big fin-hands through those tight spandex sleeves is a mystery to me) and a Mon Calamari transport, Big Boba Fett (whose whip-ass little shoulder symbol was obstructed by a very worn green army canvas cape) and a slew of production sketches and paintings. Word to the wise: when photographing at the Smithsonian USE A DAMN FLASH. |
