Star Wars Hasbro The Vintage Collection Jabba's Sail Barge The Khetanna

Product Information

We're at a stage now where we're applying the paint and doing the deco,” Evans says. Just narrowing down the color scheme from a palette of browns, grays, reds, and yellows took hours of careful consideration. “It's a very long process, but one that hopefully should look every natural and very fluid.” Reclining on his throne aboard the Khetanna, Jabba the Hutt gripped his microphone and growled the final death sentence for Luke Skywalker and his friends hovering just above the Sarlacc pit. But moments later, the execution turned into an escape, leaving the mighty Jabba dead at Leia’s hand and his opulent sail barge imploding in the sands of the Dune Sea. In earlier drafts of Return of the Jedi, Fortuna's title was the "High Beeser of Hoth," and his original design sketches depicted him as a wizened old human man sporting a dark cloak and a tall hat. References to this title and design, however, were left out from the finished version of the film. [36] The character's sharp fingernails and teeth were inspired by a National Geographic article on the indigenous people of Borneo, which to Nilo-Rodis Jamero was a favorite source of inspiration. [35] The principle of HasLab is it's special. It is special and kind of ridiculous,” Evans says. So in limiting releases, designers have the chance to create mini masterpieces. “It's important to keep it meaningful and not have one running constantly.”

Early glimpses at the 3D modeling for the ship reveal a baby rancor scaling the side of Jabba's lounge wall, an armory, and intricate murals and grisly trophies reminiscent of his other favorite decoration -- Captain Solo in carbonite. While missing the rest of the band, he’s a great figure but could be a lot more. LEGO collectors are never happy, so now that we have Max, we need to demand some Sy Snoodles or a Joh Yowza (wow, I’m sliding away from normal nerdocity into “how did you ever get married?” nerdocity, aren’t I), or at the very least, access to some Bith figures. We wanted to do something that wasn't transactional in nature but gave up the opportunity to really kind of love the process and reveal it and share updates,” says Ninivaggi. “This is a year-long process and we created this beautiful book that shows all the behind-the-scenes work. We're celebrating Mark Boudreaux [Hasbro's senior principal designer on Star Wars], who has been part of every major vehicle since 1977, so it's a really beautiful kind of platform that goes well beyond just selling a product.”

At this time fans were abuzz about speculating the next “big” vehicle. Jabba’s Sail Barge was always at the top of the list. However, Hasbro had long denied the possibility of producing a faithful Sail Barge due to the high cost of tooling, and thereby high price point that the vehicle would demand. StarWars.com goes inside Hasbro's plan to make its largest Star Wars product ever -- with help from fans.

Later in the war, Fortuna greeted two droid visitors to his master's palace. The two mechanical units, called C-3PO and R2-D2, claimed that they had a gift for the Hutt. The majordomo demanded that they hand over that gift to him so he could bring it to Jabba himself, but the droids answered that their instructions were to give it only to the crime lord himself. Fortuna relented, and led the droids into the throne room, where they delivered a holographic message from their owner, the Rebel hero and fledgling Jedi Luke Skywalker. In the message, Skywalker asked to bargain for the life of his friend Han Solo, offering C-3PO and R2-D2 in exchange.
