Medieval Star Wars Figures From Sillof!

Quite possibly the greatest action figure customizer on the planet, Sillof, dropped us a line to let us know that he's completed a new line of Star Wars inspired figures. This line, titled "Long Ago and Far Away", puts a medieval spin on our beloved favorites. These figures come with complete and cleverly written descriptions and back stories. For instance, C-3PO is Cadpollo Goldenrod and his trusty companion, R2-D2, is none other than Randor Deeptomb!

Please make sure to click through to Sillof's website to check out all the detailed photos and descriptions.

Here's what Sillof has to say about the line on his site:

"Long Ago & Far Away" is a line of custom figures that continues my experiment of breaking down them many influences of Star Wars and emphasizing them individually. When I saw A New Hope in the theater when I was a kid I thought it was the greatest Sci Fi movie ever. As I got older I realized Star Wars was really much more of a fantasy film set in space.

You are told as much with the first words of the movie with a line straight out of a fairy tale "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". A classic story of good verses evil where the young hero who has to rescue the princess with the help of the trusty old knight. Much of the awe in Star Wars comes from the magic of the Force rather then the complexity of the technology thus making it more of a fantasy film then a Sci Fi film in my opinion."
