MOC: White Witch by HJR

White Witch? This name means nothing to you ? And for good reason, you may have never even heard of the animated series. Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO.

Released in the years 1985/1986, this cartoon whose events took place between Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) and Episode IV (To New Hope) recounted the adventures of the two droids on different planets. A DVD version was released in 2004/2005 which you can get (in English) here:

Star Wars Animated Adventures - Droids (from 12 to 20 €)

It is in this animated series that this C / L-82 Landspeeder appeared modified by its two owners, Thall Joben and Jord Dusat, to participate in the Boonta Speeder Race. This speeder was missing a droid, so R2-D2 was called upon.

Toy maker Kenner Toys has developed a range of Action Figures based on this series, and a model of this White witch had even been presented as a prototype. It was never marketed by Kenner, probably because of the general lack of interest in this cartoon which will not have marked the spirits, even among the most fundamentalist fans.

HJR was therefore inspired by the rare visuals available to reproduce this Landspeeder and his MOC is very successful. It is faithful to the version of Kenner and can accommodate the two minifigs of Thall Joben and Jord Dusat. R2-D2 also has a dedicated slot.
