Half Scale Jedi Starfighter
The second giant figure
made during Celebration III was the Jedi
Starfighter. This was the easiest of the four giant figures. There are
no tricky sink folds or simultaneous pleating steps. Just some basic reverse
and rabbit ear folds. Even though the figure is easier, it still took about
an hour to make.
I'd like to thank the
volunteer folders… Ezra Smith, Bill Smith, Brendan De Leon, Mike Seifert,
Greg Carn, Christina Deacon, and David Scott. They were a pleasure to work
with. I'd also like to congratulate Alicia Talbot for winning the auction
for the figure.
