George Lucas's main goal in creating the first "Star Wars" movie was to present a sci-fi version of the Akira Kurosawa film "The Hidden Fortress." It's interesting, therefore, that "The Phantom Menace" has more in common plot-wise with that Japanese movie. In each, you have a scion of royalty (Princess Yuki/Queen Amidala) traveling in disguise with a veteran warrior (General Rokurōta/Qui-Gon Jinn) and two comic relief figures (Tahei and Matashichi/Jar Jar Binks and Artoo-Detoo), trying to get home to restore her kingdom. Along the way, they free a slave (a farmer's daughter/Anakin Skywalker) and deal with various enemies and obstacles until winning out in the end.

I know this idea may not come out too suprising, but I've been always wanting to know what would it be like if we had a Darth Vader model from here and make him into the size of the youngling or Yoda as we should rather give him the name "Dwarf Vader"? You see I think it would be funny if Luke's father was actually a dwarf much to how the original concept of Luke's Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen were originally going to be dwarfs! And I kinda thought of that the Darth Vader Rogue One Funko Pop resembles Stewie Griffin as Dwarf Vader! How awesome and funny would it be if we can ever resize a Darth Vader model into a youngling or Yoda size for anyone that's interested!

Good news guys, it seems like I found a model of K-2SO from the Force Arena game. Wonder if we'll use this one? https://mega.nz/#!vxED3ZwT!dAQBc4YBuhTQe4oFPRYPij88zv4cQyIL0Jom6i4VjYc

I don't know if I haven't seen these models on here or something, but I was hoping if we can get our hands on two of the survivors that were piloting the Y-Wing from the Battle of Yavin? Those two pilots would be Evaan Verlaine and Keyan Farlander also known as "Lucky" because he and his female co-pilot were never shot down by Tie Fighters. I've been kinda wanting to say that I LOVE that hot looking hairstyle on Evaan Verlaine, wouldn't you always want to have this "bombshell" partner with Leia Organa? Heck I sure would! But anyways, I believe there exists to be a model of Evaan Verlaine in Star Wars: Force Arena, been hoping if anyone can rig this model of her from the game. As for her co-pilot, I think I believe this Jeff guy did a model of Keyan "Lucky" Farlander and I'm wondering if he'll release it. Also have to mention that Evaan Verlaine in Rogue One played by Laura Dern had a different looking hairstyle that doesn't look as hot like it was in the Expanded Universe.

Kinda found some photos on what Toshiro Mifune would be like as Obi-Wan Kenobi and a few others from his head. I bet this would be perfect to sort of scan that head and place it in a 3D model. http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-and-discussion-/623018-star-wars-what-if-toshiro-mifune-obi-wan-kenobi.html

I know this is going to sound interesting for Star Wars, Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune was originally going to be casted as either Obi-Wan Kenobi or Darth Vader. Of course he turned down those two roles and says he wasn't interested. But what if he actually took the role for one of those two characters? I wonder if we can somehow make Toshiro Mifune's head and place it on an existing model of Obi-Wan Kenobi from Episode 4? Or how about even better, what if we got the Samurai Vader model made by darkapprentice and use that to place the head of Toshiro Mifune and put the helmet on top so he would look like a true Samurai in black armor!? That's something that we would've totally gotten for Star Wars! Who would love that!?

Original concept Stormtrooper
KyleKatarn1995 replied to KyleKatarn1995's topic in Mod Requests & Suggestions
Oh you gotta love this, I found this 3D model of the Stormtrooper concept helmet and also a figurine photo featuring the full body of the Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper. The eyes sure do look so different like it's shades. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y213/starwarscollector/PropReplicaForum4/McTrooper1.jpg~original http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s58/kwdesigns2/RMQ%20Concept%20Stormtrooper/review_McQstormie02_zps3b0ec03f.jpg~original -
I wonder if we'll ever get our hands on this original Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper concept for Jedi Academy that they pretty much wield a lightsaber instead of a blaster they have for the 40th Anniversary? Would almost imagine if someone can actually find a model of that Stormtrooper or perhaps make one like these.

I have another interesting request for Star Wars' 40th Anniversary, how about we can try to make Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa from their original 1977 Poster Appearance? There are some differences on the poster then what actually appears in the film. Like for example Luke is revealing his chest abs, along with the stormtrooper belt he has just like in the film, and also his boots seem to have like this "T" shape on them. And as for Leia Organa, she wears her normal white outfit but reveals more skin to her arms and legs and even carries Han's blaster pistol . And that's probably what I've been probably wanting for something that we can remake a poster in a Jedi Academy style. Who's interested?

This is so cool, back when Darth Vader used to be a badass and angry dark Jedi before making him less angry and more so to be awesome. I mean who remembers this Star Wars novel cover?
-
Now that looks absolutely great!! You know what would be better is maybe we can somehow make (or find) this second Darth Vader Concept Helmet that looks closer to the final design and place it on that new model!
-
Amazing!!! My wish finally came true!! Hope to play with him in Jedi Academy!

I know what you mean because Alec Guinness played the part as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Original Trilogy while Ewan McGregor played his role in the Prequel Trilogy. Like get this, if Mifune got the part as Obi-Wan in the OT, imagine what if a Japanese actor around Ewan's age would've played as the Jedi Master in the PT? That would mean like a Kamen Rider actor wielding a lightsaber!

Believe it or not you guys, George Lucas originally casted Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune to play as either Obi-Wan Kenobi or Darth Vader. And to me, that sounds pretty interesting and amazing!! It would be like if he did play as one of those two roles he was offered, Star Wars would've actually felt more like a Tokusatsu Sci-Fi film!! I would love that! But unfortunately he turned down those two roles and his daughter said "I heard from my father that he was offered the role of Obi Wan Kenobi, but he was concerned about how the film would look and that it would cheapen the image of samurai, on which George Lucas had based a lot of the character and fighting style,". And then she said "At the time, sci-fi movies still looked quite cheap as the effects were not advanced and he had a lot of samurai pride. So then, there was talk about him taking the Darth Vader role as his face would be covered, but in the end he turned that down too,". It's kinda sad that Mifune turned down those two roles because of his pride in Samurai films, but I hope for one of you modders can someday make a model of Toshiro Mifune as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the robes or unmasked as Darth Vader. So that way this dream would so come true.

You know I was actually kinda thinking for a bonus, would it be cooler if we can add in a Chinese black robe to fit on Chirrut Imwe so he'll be more like Ip Man?

I wonder if the Gold member will have those LED rainbow colored lights on his helmet? @@Langerd
