Up to this point, “Toy Chest Theater” has been mostly about creating scenes, as opposed to custom characters. But this take on Luke Skywalker from Scoundrels Stock changed that. This thing deserves to be in the spotlight.

This figure is apparently inspired by the Star Wars expanded universe, i.e. the franchise’s seemingly endless litany of novels, comic books, video games, etc. Having consumed a lot of that stuff, I can definitely see it. This seems to be what Luke might look like 10 to 15 years after Return of the Jedi. I can respect keeping him mostly in black, too. As a more mature Jedi, it’s modest, yet imposing.

One of the reasons this struck me so much is because I think this is the Luke Skywalker people wanted to see in The Last Jedi. The whole redemption story was interesting, partially because people didn’t expect that to be what happened to our great hero from the original trilogy. But this was the guy we were expecting. And perhaps in hindsight, should have gotten.
