Disney Star Wars Turns 12

 For a completely different topic, I thought I'd turn to X, aka Twitter and screenshot people commenting and reacting to Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm 12 years ago. I'll offer my own comments under the pictures. I found that the X search gave me some insightful posts from people on both sides.

I'll explain how I made them, plus which one I need to work on a bit. Plus, I've updated a previous custom and may show off one I've done a long time ago but never photographed. And congrats to Arliel Schous for winning Last Figure Standing!  1. Post Endor Inquisitors/Emperor's Hands My main loose figure collection consists of figures from the ROTJ/New Republic Era in both Legends and Disney Canon. I'
