Hasbro Announces Exclusive McQuarrie Luke Skywalker
Remember when I reported on the Star Wars Celebration exclusive R2-D2 and C3PO and the subsequent rant? If you don’t you might have brain problems, because it was just this last week. It’s time to add another figure to the list of convention exclusive figures that you’ll want to get, but won’t be able to because your fat hotel roommates will have taken them all before you have a chance:
If this Luke Skywalker doesn’t look familiar to you, it’s the early McQuarrie design. I don’t know too much about the idea behind the design of Luke at this point in his conception, but one thing is for certain, this Luke is a lot more kick ass than he was in the films. Let’s face it folks, Mark Hamill didn’t play Luke as a very manly individual. In fact, I always viewed Luke as a little asexual. When I heard he married Mara Jade in the expanded universe I couldn’t believe it. Luke doesn’t like girls. Luke is married to the force first, how could he have time for a woman? Especially one who used to be an assassin for Emperor. The Star Wars expanded universe is not a place for stories that make any sort of sense. Anyway, this Luke is ready to kick ass with his space scuba set outfit and with a lightsaber in one hand and blaster in the other. Bring on the lightsaber wielding Stormtroopers!

That figure looks phenominal. The Man-child would eat his way through rabid wolves to get that bad boy.
