Star Wars Collector Series Jedi Luke Skywalker & Bib Fortuna 12 Inch Figures

Bib Fortuna, a member of the Twi'lek people, became one of the foremost "clandestine, exporters," or smugglers, of the addictive chemical ryll. This chemical and its profitable trade caught the attention of the Empire, as well as smugglers and slavers. Bib Fortuna's "business" eventually brought enslavement and death to some of the Twi'lek people. Angry at the injustice, the Twi'lek brought Fortuna in front of a court of his peers and sentenced him to death, but the clever Fortuna escaped promising one
day to take his revenge. Bib Fortuna then received an interesting offer. The Tatooine gang lord, Jabba the Hutt, wanted in on the spice smuggling trade and asked Fortuna to perform as his production and transport agent. Unfortunately, the Imperial Navy began to intercept the spice shipments, and Jabba began to get angry. The demanding boss had no patience for mistakes and tended to exterminate anyone who might do so, so Fortuna decided to request a higher position in Jabba's organization and was surprisingly granted one.

Bib Fortuna became a lieutenant, helping to conduct business and bowing his head and tails whenever necessary. Jabba was impressed with the Twi'lek's organizational and management skills and brought him into the inner circle of Jabba's chosen few. Eventually after presenting Jabba with a gift-an enormous rancor beast, and the untimely death of another lieutenant, Fortuna became Jabba the Hutt's majordomo

Unfortunately, this position did not last long. While trying to save Han Solo from the grips of the Tatooine gang lord, Luke Skywalker played a Jedi mind trick on Fortuna, forcing him to allow the destruction if he didn't set the Jedi's friends free. Jabba tried to feed Luke to his rancor, but watched in disbelief as the young Luke defeated the beast. Jabba, in anger, then scheduled the execution of Skywalker, Solo and Chewbacca, but failed and the Rebels launched their escape. In fear, Bib Fortuna raced to his skiff and was never seen again!

Authentically styled straight from Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker features his highly detailed Jedi uniform complete with lightsaber and Bib Fortuna features his jumpsuit, plate and cloak!
