Jedime's Po' Boy Star Wars Customs


 

Leia Skywalker-Solo (Jedi Knight)

(from Union)



 

I'm not sure why Leia was chosen to wear black and green robes, but it does look kinda cool. She's a headswapped Adi Gallia with an Anakin lightsaber. It was blue in the picture and I figured she's model the handle in the family tradition. Ok, actually I didn't have any other blue lightsabers lying around.

UPDATED - No actual changes to the figure, but hportman1 pointed out that that may not be Leia after all, but in fact Corran Horn!
Well, here's the pros and cons (btw, I'm keeping the fig as is anyway, but figured I'd point this stuff out)

Ok, it could be Corran cause of the black and green robes, but on the other hand all the Jedi in the scene have colored robes. Corran's robes in I, Jedi were described as black over green, and this is reversed, but his robes in the NJO have been described as green over black. Also, Adi Gallia is a Corellian Jedi, and as I assumed, the fact that all Corellian Jedi wear green is now apocryphal.

Now Leia is also not a full Jedi, but since she is a partial Jedi, and Luke's sister, and her kids are in the background too, I could see her being invited anyway. Also, Jedi can't fall in love and get married, so this whole comic and Luke and Mara, Corran and Mirax, Kam and Kionne etc. also now seems apocryphal.

The face to me looked like Leia, and good shots of Corran are hard to come by. I still think it's an effeminate face, but due to the robes you can't tell if the body is male or female.

The lightsaber is not silver, but blue. On the other hand, the art in the comic isn't always that accurate. In this very shot Tionne's hair is blonde instead of silver, Dorsk 82's skin is purple instead of green, and Empatojayos Brand is hovering in the background, despite his death many years earlier (he's not a spirit either since he's still in his cybersuit).

If that's not Corran, then where is he? Many prominant Jedi are in the ceremony. True enough, but along with Dorsk, Tionne, and Corran/Leia, a Quarren Jedi who we still don't know the idenity of is down on the main floor. Also, many promiant Jedi like Kyp Durron (he's watching from afar), Kirana Ti, and even Streen, aren't shown either.

So, who is it? I suppose it probably is Corran, but it could be Leia if seen from a certain point of... well, you know the rest. I'm keeping the fig as is anyway. I have a Corran Jedi, even if the robes are different he was an early extra parts custom, and it's still as he was described originally. Leia too, looks good in the Jedi robes. I just figured I'd expand on the issue here, since it was brought up.
