Luke’s gift to Jabba
A couple of weeks ago, Gary Michael Haertter and Al Sniezevage were part of a Tatooine photoshoot in Lewes Beach, DE. They cosplayed Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter. As far as I know this is the first time that Biggs has ever been brought to life in cosplay outside his rebel pilot uniform. So, at long last the Blue Milk Special version of Anchorhead Biggs is getting some respect! Here are some samples from the photo shoot. To see the whole collection go to Subject Matter Photography on Facebook and why not LIKE them while you’re at it?
Gary says: “My partner, the Photographer and I on a mission to re create scenes and natural events that could or did not happen on the Biggs screen. We try to capture characters as close as we possibly can to the original actors and place them in great locations that we can make believable. This is our second shoot and we plan on doing more an more.
Both of us are veteran 501st members and I (Luke Character)am part of the Rebel Legion both representing our passion for the original trilogy.”
Leanne and I want Al to pose with “muggy” for a photo in his Biggs costume for Blue Milk Special? Wouldn’t that be great?!
Again, a very big thank you to everyone that has offered me kind words and support, especially to those that have been able to contribute to the GoFundMe campaign with my medical fund. We’re more than half way there!
The op on Thursday went well and I’ve been taking things easy over the weekend. Trying my best to sleep despite the discomfort and pain. We are now discussing another op (one the neurosurgeon originally sent me to pain management about over 12 months ago) which will block pain from the Greater Occipital Nerve where the majority of my pain has always been centered. So, I’m still not out of the woods yet and the recovery process keeps getting extended by these additional ops. I’m not in the chirpiest of moods, so if anyone has anything amusing to send me in an email or comment it would be welcome. I could use a smile.
Thanks again for everyone’s support and patience! I hope to be channeling full Forciness again soon!
Thanks for the funnies, I look forward to every update, and today’s link to the Biggs photo-shoot was great! Be well, and may the farce be with you! (All puns intended)
You know, drinking a cup of coffee, or sitting there checking out all the hot Twilek dancers entering Jabba’s palace with the head of TK-80085 just sitting there…even to a guy like me that’s cold.
What about the tusken raider head next to it? Is Luke beheading them now? i hear it runs in the family..lol
Two used droids. Thanks Luke!
Cool photos. Very desert-planet-like locale, especially for a beach in Delaware.
Good luck with recovery!
It’s a wonder the droids didn’t revolt like the Cylons…
Don’t let them watch Battlestar Galactica, or Terminator… 😉
LOVE the Biggs and Luke shoot!!! 🙂
Isn’t Bender already in this universe? That could be enough to start some trouble right there.
It may cheer you up…playing the Little Death Star game and Bib wanders in…my first thought was:
“Die wanna wanga?”
“I don’t want to see your junk!”
🙂
The first pic is great! I actually thought it was a picture of them until I started reading the article.

Something funny I found.
Just doesn’t have the same feel LOL
In the first frame, are we supposed to be able to see through Luke?
Well, he’s a hologram…
I think so, given that it’s just the hologram Luke at this point. It’s just easier in the first frame given the contrasting background to the later panels.
If u looks closer u will definitely see luke is in fact a hologarm…. just like in the scene in the movie.
I had kinda hoped to see BMS Use Jabba Declan for ROTJ 😮
Just bear with us. This has all been planned for years. Keep the faith. We won’t disappoint.
Never said I didn’t trust you, was just hoping on declan, but I also had a somewhat “Should-I-see-it-coming-that-they’ll-make-a-slug-jabba, and if so is it for a specific reason” :3
Also, I wanna complain on the makers of the common global smileys. The asian “cat” emotes isn’t getting enough love! Shame on you! x3
Katz are awesum =(^.^)=
I promise you won’t be disappointed about Declan.
I WAS actuallu highly entertained by R2’s “Joke” in previous strip. it fit very well with the typical Jabba-laugh 😉
I R so mature xD
My prediction….. Both jabbas will make an awkward appearance either as a identity theft or continuity paradox issue. Oh and i would also hope (seeing as how u have brought the books into the universe) that Mara jade will make an appearance in the backround somewhere. Even though jabba wouldn’t let her on the barge. Call it a minor cameo. lol
I’m not so sure he’s the first, I cosplay Biggs from time to time too.
People are really bad about sending me the photos they take of me, though.
When I wore it at Comic Con San Diego this year, more people asked me if I was “White Lando” than who knew who I was.

At least they knew the name Lando. That’s better than some.
