After the Empire falls…
Speaking of color, we’ve come to expect a certain chromatic consistency from Rong Yiren. Though his animal-shaped mecha are certainly gorgeous, it’s always nice to see a builder branch out.
In this scene depicting stormtroopers off to work after the end of the Evil Empire, I particularly like R2-D2 wearing a tie.

Branching out? I thought this was more like going back to roots as the original Rong Photography was inspired by storm troopers

Ha! True indeed. I guess I’d completely forgotten about that, given the subsequent year of mecha. :-)

What is R2’s job? Although it looks very good for this creation, isn’t the house a bit old fashioned compared to the other Star Wars houses :D?
