Looking for Droids

I just picked up a few Star Wars figures that will serve as the foundation for a project I'm dubbing the Tattooine Project. I've always wanted to collect Star Wars but haven't really focused on the figures. This time around, my game plan is to gradually build up a collection of figures around the following themes:

The Planet Tattooine -- any figure that appeared in scenes on the planet Tattooine, especially the alien races, vehicles and creatures that appeared in Star Wars and Return of the Jedi.

Bounty Hunters: Hunting The Millenium Falcon -- The infamous mercs shown in The Empire Strikes Back

Jedi Knights -- Alien Jedi and Sith.

So far, so good.

Unlike Frankenstein who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they are completed (much like the original Dr. Frankenstein), Finklestein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father and in some ways an overbearing husband (thus explaining Sally's attempts to run away) by keeping her under lock and key under the pretext of shelterin...
