The droids are depicted as seen in “The Force Awakens” and the details are great. The statue also feature magnets that allow you to stand independently on the included base. R2-D2 is a fictional character from the Star Wars sci-fi universe. He is the only character along with C-3PO to appear in all major chapters of the Skywalker Saga. R2-D2 is a droid specialized in interfacing with all sorts of computers, activating any machinery such as elevators, and skilled in repairs. Hailing from the planet Naboo, he is gifted with a good dose of humor. He is good at taking certain initiatives using sometimes unorthodox methods to help his friends. He is the inseparable companion of the protocol droid C-3PO, who calls him his counterpart. Owen Lars speculates that his particular “character” is due to the absence of regular memory erasures, which can cause instability in a droid. In fact, the memory of R2-D2 is never erased by the escape from Naboo onwards (is 36 years before the death of Darth Vader).

R2-D2 stands 38 inches / 96 cm tall. He moves on 3 “legs” (including a removable one), has a cylindrical body surmounted by a hemispherical head equipped, among other things, with a monocle for seeing and a projector of holographic images. He has several mechanical devices inside the body, including an arc welder, a circular saw and a key for interfacing with the most varied access devices and computers in use in the galaxy. This makes the droid look like a kind of “toolbox“. Like all astro-droids it is often used as a navigator aboard starfighters and other spaceships, therefore it has the ability to establish routes, perform the calculations necessary for the hyperspace jump and maneuver the ship’s commands in concert with the human pilot, who communicates with him through voice commands. He is able to interface with any computer, which makes him very valuable in infiltration and espionage missions, being able to take control of all systems in enemy bases (e.g. elevators and automatic doors). He also has a fair amount of skill in mechanical repairs. He has limited combat capabilities, but, thanks to his artificial intelligence far superior to that of a battle droid, he is able to defeat much more dangerous and better armed opponents than himself.

C-3PO is also a character from the sci-fi universe of Star Wars. He is the only character along with R2-D2 to appear in all chapters of the Skywalker Saga. He is a protocol droid with an anthropomorphic appearance and hails from the planet Tatooine, where he was assembled by the young Anakin Skywalker from discarded pieces. He knows more than 6 million forms of communication, and this skill will make him extremely useful to his various masters. Initially, when Anakin leaves Tatooine along with Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, C-3PO is without cover, but later, he is given a gray cover which is later replaced by a gold one. He is the inseparable companion of the little astrodroid R2-D2, which he defines as his counterpart. There is a very particular relationship between the 2, because R2-D2 is, unlike C-3PO, brave and bold and “drags” him into dangerous and difficult situations, in which, despite declaring himself against, the protocol droid always follows him. R2-D2 often teases the other droid, making jokes with his peculiar sense of humor. Star Wars R2-D2 and C-3PO 3D Metal Statue sizes: 4.25 inches / 11 cm x 2.36 inches / 6 cm x 4.84 inches / 12.5 cm.

Steampunk Darth Vader “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” Industrial Empire Statue

This Steampunk Darth Vader Statue is a uniquely Steampunk interpretation of Darth Vader based on an original illustration by Adi Granov. Standing triumphantly, Darth Vader takes on a uniquely steampunk appearance in the work entitled “Industrial Empire”. World-renowned artist Adi Granov created this exclusive illustration in collaboration with Lucasfilm! Reimagined in this iconic style, the Dark Lord of the Sith appears in a forbidding pose, arm outstretched and encased in a battle-worn suit embellished with metal plating, rivets and various pressure gauges. Masterfully recreated in 3D form, the sculptor have captured every nuance of this illustration down to the fine details of the lightsaber hilt and environmental base. The Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back) is a 1980 American epic space opera film directed by Irvin Kershner, with a screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, based on a story by George Lucas. The sequel to Star Wars (1977), it is the second film in the Star Wars film series and the fifth chronological chapter of the “Skywalker Saga“. Set 3 years after the events of Star Wars, the film recounts the battle between the malevolent Galactic Empire, led by the Emperor, and the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia.

Luke Skywalker trains to master the Force so he can confront the powerful Sith lord, Darth Vader. Following Star Wars’ success, Lucas hired Brackett to write the sequel. Following her death in 1978, he outlined the whole Star Wars Saga and wrote the next draft himself, before hiring Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) writer Kasdan to enhance his work. To avoid the stress he faced directing Star Wars, Lucas handed this responsibility to Kershner and focused on expanding his special effects company Industrial Light & Magic instead. Filmed from March to September 1979, in Finse, Norway, and Elstree Studios in England, The Empire Strikes Back faced production difficulties, including actor injuries, illnesses, fires, and problems securing additional financing as costs rose. Initially budgeted at $8 million, costs had risen to $30.5 million by the project’s conclusion. Released on May 21, 1980, the highly anticipated sequel became the highest-grossing film that year, earning approximately $401.5 million worldwide. Unlike its predecessor, Empire was met with mixed reviews from critics and fans conflicted over its darker and more mature tone compared to the light-hearted Star Wars. Critics praised the puppeteered character Yoda, a diminutive alien that serves as Luke’s teacher, for having expressive features and characterization.

The film was nominated for various awards and won 2 Academy Awards, 2 Grammy Awards, and 1 BAFTA, among others. Subsequent releases have raised the film’s worldwide gross to $538-549 million and, adjusted for inflation, it is the 13th highest-grossing film in the United States and Canada. In the years since its release, Empire has been critically reassessed and is now regarded as the best film in the Star Wars series and among the greatest films of all time. It has had a significant impact on filmmaking and popular culture and is considered an example of a sequel superior to its predecessor. The climax, where Vader reveals he is Luke’s father, is often ranked as one of the greatest plot twists in cinema. The film spawned a variety of merchandise and adaptations, including video games and a radio play. The United States Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2010. Return of the Jedi (1983) followed Empire, concluding the original Star Wars trilogy. Prequel and sequel trilogies that round out the “Skywalker Saga” have since been released.
