The Mash-up is coming! The Mash-up is coming! *ahem* The Mash-up is here.

Captain Phasma is the stormtrooper commander on board General Hux’s Star Destroyer. She wears a distinctive shiny suit of stormtrooper armor with a cape. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know how much more character development went into writing Phasma because that’s about all there is to her in the movie. She barely speaks or does much of anything. She looks cool though. That would make her this trilogy’s Boba Fett in my opinion.

Shiny armor eh? That sounds like a job for Sass! Here’s our felonious feline in full stormtrooper commander armor. As always, you can click on the picture for a close-up view.

That’s all for this week. Believe it or else, there’s still some more Force Awakens fun coming in the next few weeks. Check back every Wednesday for more.

Mash-up Time is here! Happiness and cheer! Fun for all, that fans will call, their favorite time of week (okay the end didn’t rhyme).

General Hux is the commander of Starkiller Base. He has an antagonistic relationship with Kylo Ren, much like it was said that Moff Jerjerrod was supposed to have with Darth Vader in an earlier draft of Return of the Jedi. He’s the most over-the-top character villain in the movie and not really in a good way. While many didn’t like Kylo Ren for being too emo, I didn’t care for Hux because he reminded me a little bit too much of a certain historical figure who shall remain nameless.

Here’s Barnaby as General Hux. It’s probably the weakest piece in the set so I’m bumping it up in the order to get it out of the way. Sorry Barnaby fans. You can click on the picture to see it full-sized.

That’s all for this week. Some more Force Awakens is coming next week. See you next Wednesday!

 

The Force Awakens – Kylo Ren

Hey folks! It’s Wednesday and that means it’s mash-up time. Time to get to it.

Kylo Ren is the leader of the Knights of Ren. Who are the Knights of Ren? We didn’t get an answer to that in the movie. What we do know is that he was corrupted by Supreme Leader Snoke and destroyed Luke Skywalker’s fledgling Jedi Order. Luke went into hiding after that and the galaxy went into a downward spiral. Kylo Ren is powerful but unbalanced. He wants to continue the mission he believes Darth Vader started years before him but doesn’t know if he can. Snoke gives him one final task to perform to show his dedication to the Dark Side. Unfortunately, he succeeds.

Kylo Ren’s mask obscures his eyes. That sounds like a costume for Big Oonch. The nature of the costume means that other than the fact he’s short, you can’t really tell that it’s Oonch in there. But Kylo is one of the main characters of the movie so I couldn’t leave him out (though my friends would probably have preferred if I had 🙂 )

Kylo

That’s all for this week. More from The Force Awakens next Wednesday. See you then!

The Force Awakens – Poe Dameron

Hey hey! Welcome back to the Wednesday Mash-up! Let’s have some fun with it huh?

Poe Dameron is a pilot in the Resistance and BB-8’s owner. At the beginning of the movie, before getting captured by Kylo Ren he entrusts vital information to his droid in hopes that it will find its way back to Resistance hands. Yes, that is a lot like the start to A New Hope and there are more call backs throughout, but it tells its own story as well.

Here’s Red Rich as Poe. It’s a nice update of the classic X-Wing pilot uniform. Doesn’t he look dashing? As always, you can click on the picture to see a close-up.

That’s all for this week. We’ll have some more Force Awakens next Wednesday.

The Force Awakens – Finn 2187

Howdy folks! Monday was the last blog of the year and today is the last mash-up. Let’s get right to it.

From the trailer, we know that John Boyega’s Finn starts the movie out as Stormtrooper. His operating number is FN-2187. Star Wars fans may recognize that number from earlier in the franchise and it’s just one of the many nods Abrams makes to the original trilogy. I liked all the new characters in The Force Awakens but feel that Finn has one of the best character journeys.

Here’s Todrick sporting Finn’s cool leather jacket. I have so much trouble with posing feet but I feel this piece turned out particularly well on that front.

Finn

That’s all for this week and just about all for this year. There’s one more Funnies strip to go before 2016. See you next year for the next new mash-up!
