![]() I’m just glad that the LEGO Group hasn’t made scented bricks because we do not need to know the actual difference between the outside and inside smells of a Tauntaun. Delusional Luke probably appreciates that warm goo a little bit, right? A mess of blue clips and plates seem like blood pooling under the multi-colored assortment of Minifigure body parts with hotdogs thrown in for good measure. Those Minifigure arms used as guts are a real clincher, though. Big, thick legs and distinctive claws, along with a saddle and amazing horns, match well with the source material. The scale of the figures definitely allowed for more detail and curves in the Tauntaun. Han’s fuzzy hood achieved with exposed studs is pretty neat and his stance captures his mood perfectly. Their respective outfits translate well to bricks and plates with proper color blocking. Here he’s done a wonderful job with the Hoth versions of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker from the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. Ochre Jelly is fond of this style and has built some iconic scenes and memes in the past. The Miniland building style allows for playful details in brick-built figures. Anyway, this playful Miniland-scale Star Wars model by Ochre Jelly hits me right in the nostalgia. He was warned! Still, I’m sure Luke was grateful, both for being saved and for being unconscious during his nap in a Tauntaun carcass. ![]() The real tragedy is that Han knew he’d be sacrificing that, er, magnificent creature when he left Echo base. Before you start wondering if that residual heat would really keep Luke alive through a night on Hoth, just remember that Han says he’s putting up a shelter. Thankfully, his quick thinking made good use of the dead creature’s lingering heat. The tenacious smuggler turned burgeoning rebel general, Han Solo, really saved the galaxy by cutting open that poor Tauntaun.
