(...) Great points Leonard!!! I agree that the "endless shades" issue can be as EASILY addressed in just TWO shades. Light and dark. Simple as that... (Yellow and Brown....) I have been ranting about this in the NBA forum as of late... I seem to (...) (22 years ago, 7-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I think that might be a good choice... I mean, NOONE has a yellow fleshtone NOR a red one (although once that night have been said). So this colour might solve the problem in a convenient way: it is close enough to brown, just like yellow is (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Wow.. and I never knew anyone cared... but to add something: yellow (like in the Simpsons) only denotes 'lighter skin tones', which includes not only caucasians, but also japanese, native americans, etc. The benefit to this point of view is (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Lenny Hoffman brought up an interesting observation back in February, which is that outside of LEGO, sometimes the color yellow is indeed intended to signify caucasian skin tones. His example was the TV show The Simpsons. Light skinned chracters (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Brian, You got it right! As far as the landing plates, we've gotten those as two packs. Certainly can't argue about using them for the Imperial custom works we've done. Thanks, ACPin & Sons (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Looks fantastic! Isn't that the Scimitar(sp?)Assault Bomber? Honestly, though, the thing I'm most jealous about when it comes to your LEGO customs is your stock of black landing plates! Wasn't there only one Blacktron set they came with? I've got (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, :-) Yellow skin is the color of jaundice. Last time I checked, minifigs didn't even HAVE livers so that would be your canonical extreme cause of jaundice, ne? :-) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

I don't usually like to get involved in these sorts of debates (anymore... though I used to) But this post had a comment or two that caught my eye. (...) Speaking only for myself, I always thought of the yellow color as simply the color in which (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Whether they intended yellow as the final color way back when, keeping yellow could be serendipitous to underscore 'togetherness' as they described in the nba press release. Jeff (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) When TLC first annouced the Star Wars license I was hoping they would make the characters realistic flesh tones. As they chose to make all the (human) characters so far, in standard bright yellow (which is NOT a human color at all,) then why (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) That isn't really my opinion. I think the whole issue could be treated just the same as the 'stubbies' (short legs) thing. Before the 2002 sets, all 'figs were the same height. But it was too much of a stretch to represent ewoks, yoda, goblins (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I remember reading an article in which someone from TLC stated that minifigs head were all yellow so there would never be any racist discrimination with the products, yellow representing a neutral color, even if most of us seem to think that yellow (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)
