Amen to that!


1) Never make Windu or Calrissian.  Motives for mot making them would be kind
of obvious, and opens them up for ridicule.

2) Make them yellow.  While preserving the "one minifig race" theory, also
kind of a cop-out.  Not to mention that Samuel L. Jackson and Billy Dee
Williams would have every right to be kind of upset. :D

Seeing as the old Anakin Skywalker (beneath the Darth Vader mask) was a gray
minifig head, I can see the logic in that.


3) Make them a darker tone.  Suddenly, every other minifig ever made is
caucasian- unless, of course, they take the tack that in every other case
there is one minifig race, but with licensed products they will attempt to
mimic the property as well as possible.  This seems to me to be the best
option, but that's just my opinion.

I bet they'll be dark.  IMHO, the triangle-split-moustache head looks like
Lando already but a darker one would look more realistic.  Personally, I'd
like to see them be darker and thus more realistic.  I also bet LEGO would
catch bad PR (somewhere) by making yellow heads for Windu and Calrissian.

(...) Yeah, I'm aware of that set- in fact, I just referred someone else to it and 215 Red Indians. What I meant wasn't so much that Lego doesn't have the colors available. I meant that as soon as they place one darker toned minifig in, say, a Town (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
