Star Wars 12″ Han & Luke Stormtrooper (SDCC ’09 Exclusive) From Sideshow Collectibles

With the rise of Imperial power in the galaxy and the fall of the Jedi Order, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi retreated to the isolated deserts of the planet Tatooine. Loyal to the Republic, Kenobi was silently observing the young farm boy Luke Skywalker from afar, whose future was unknowingly linked to the survival of the Jedi and the Rebellion. When Obi-Wan saves Luke from a band of Tusken Raiders, he begins to mentor young Skywalker in the ways of the Force, and together with starship captain Han Solo, his copilot Chewbacca and the two droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, they set out for the planet Alderaan to help the Rebel supporter Princess Leia Organa.

When they arrive at Alderaan’s coordinates aboard the Millennium Falcon, they find the planet obliterated by the Empire’s dreaded Death Star. Suddenly, an Imperial fighter flies by the Falcon, and as they chase after it, they are caught in the Death Star’s tractor beam and pulled aboard. The rebels take cover in the hidden smuggling compartments, and when Imperial Stormtroops board the Falcon, Luke and Han disable them and steal their armor in order to infiltrate the Death Star and orchestrate their escape.

In Stormtrooper disguise, Luke and Han take the droids, Obi-Wan and Chewbacca into the docking bay command center. There they use R2-D2’s technical compatibilities to locate the tractor beam, and Obi-Wan sets out for the reactor core to power down the beam and free the Falcon. Still plugged into the command center, R2 discover that Princess Leia is being held captive aboard the Death Star. With Chewbacca acting as their prisoner, Luke and Han pose as Stormtroopers to free Leia and eventually make it back to the Millennium Falcon for their escape.
