Star Wars Toy Photography - Dagobah Training Part 03

Apr 13, 2021

Forget your old measures...

The next shot I need to capture is Luke and Yoda talking in the swamp with R2-D2 watching on.

This is a shot that will allow me to take advantage of one of Luke's extra hands. In the panel from the book you can see Luke appears to have his hand on his hip. I intend to use the Force wielding hand to replicate the hand on hip/waste pose.

The biggest problem with the Dagobah training figure set is the lack of a belt and holster. In the panel from the book it appears that Luke is still without his jacket, so I wouldn't be able to use Bespin Fatigues Luke instead, so the trade off is to overlook the lack of belt and holster. In the movie Luke doesn't put the belt on until he goes into the tree cave, so I'm willing to over look this "error" in the book.

The test shot certainly seems to work, although I may try to replicate the book a little closer and move Yoda so we can only see him from the back. My replacement R2-D2 will be placed closest to the camera with a log between him and Luke and Yoda. I will most likely shoot at about f3.5 so Artoo will most likely be a little soft focus in the foreground. I will add lighting effects to R2-D2 also.

Next - Yoda gets a hero shot...
