Blasting off from Yavin IV, a young farmer from a distant desert planet was just one of many rebel troops assaulting the Empire’s newest weapon of destruction. Little did the Emporer, Tarkin, and Vader know that this boy was the son of a great Jedi, and his trust in the Force would allow him to succeed where the rest of the team failed.

Clad in his iconic orange flight suit, Luke Skywalker is represented here by Gentle Giant as he appeared aboard his X-Wing during the battle of Yavin. The bust of Luke stands at 10″ tall and is described as being 1:2 scale. Similar to other busts in this series, X-Wing Luke will cost $175.

The detail on this piece is great, but that is to be expected from Gentle Giant. The company has been at this for many years. Check out the photos below of the bust, and let us know what you think.
