By reviewing the official visuals of the set 75059 Sandcrawler, I thought it would be wise to talk here again about the significant evolution of the design of Luke Skywalker and Owen Lars minifigs and to have your opinion on the subject.
LEGO has tried to come up with faces that are closer to those of Mark Hamill and Phil Brown, with a result that is clearly not to everyone's liking within the range's fan community. Regarding Uncle Owen, the minifigure seems correct to me if we forget the side a little too cartoonish for my taste of the eyes of the minifigure.
With Luke, things get tough. LEGO tried to draw the features of the actor's face by adding a few lines here and there, but apart from the chin which is symbolized more or less correctly, I find that the manufacturer had a little heavy hand on the lines which pollute the rendering of the face. The minifig from 2011 present in the set 7965 Millennium Falcon seems to me to be a more appropriate version of the character.
We feel the desire to get closer to what is done with other minifigure manufacturers, with more realistic characters with really detailed features while maintaining the LEGO spirit, but the facelift imposed on Luke does not seem very convincing to me. .
On the other hand, the facelift applied to droids like C-3PO seems appropriate to me. This character really deserves a version that gives pride of place to every detail of the costume worn by Anthony Daniels, especially on the legs.
What do you think ? It was better before ? Is this development logical and relevant? I await your opinions in the comments.
