It's amazing how big these seem in the movie, yet they are so tiny. What really gets me is the textures. The textures don't feel like you're looking at a zoomed in piece of plastic or plaster. It all feels and looks heavy. People talk about Picasso and other painters as true artists. This to me is worth much more than any painting. People won't look at this as high art because there are lasers and aliens, but this is higher than high art. We don't have a word for that yet, but this is definitely that.
I'm still sore about this kid who asked to borrow my AT-AT for a short film, but then he never brought it back. That could have been part of my collection. Now I have to go and buy a new one.
