LEGO certainly hasn't made it easy to build a minifig with brown skin, but
they have made it possible.  You'll need a brown head from under the helmet
of the Tie Fighter pilot in the Tie Fighter set (not the UCS one), and the
brown hands from Chewbacca who is available in a few sets now.  There's no
face printed on the Tie pilot's head, so I drew on two eyes.

Hope that helps,

Thanks.  I am sure the question of racism as reflected in sets released by
TLC has been discussed to death elsewhere.  I guess their licensing
agreements are going to inevitably lead them in a different direction,
especially if they have to break down and release a Mace Windu (Samuel
Jackson's Jedi character) minifig.

I also agree with your statements about the bible.  I used to entertain
myself by reading the savage stories of the old testament during boring
sermons in church.  The idea of the wisemen having to reevaluate their
beliefs because Jesus was born made me chuckle, and brought back memories!

(...) Much thanks, Aaron. (...) At least 4 1x1 dark grey cones are available in the UCS Tie Interceptor. But I must have gotten them from somewhere else, because my UCS Tie was still fully intact when I built that ram. LEGO certainly hasn't made it (...)
