UPDATE: Nien Nunb? Or Nien Not?

Posted by Paul | September 27, 2012 at 08:50 PM ET

Our friend Hunter from 4-inches.de (a German site) writes in with his cool assessment/take on the Nien Nunb issues discussed earlier today. He also brings up some great points and sends us additional proof in the form of pictures! Click through to check this out!

As you stated, you can only see Nien Nunb in the hangar and in the cockpit of the MF. The Sullustan B-Wing pilot is a different character and as yet unnamed. Or Nien Numb can be at two places at the same time... Look at the attached pictures, which should make clear that cockpit shots of this character didn't make the final cut. Furthermore I included screenshots what seems to be a Sullustan (B-Wing? It's not an A-Wing cockpit) pilot in an green suit and a fire fighter on the MF (Just for fun).

The Lucasfilm guys seem not allways to be very precise. Or how can you explain why they let Hasbro get away with a obvious too short Nien Numb. (Mawhonic is too short as well, but that's another story) Have you noticed that he has no red painted "lips"? Look closer at the pictures of the NN in the MF cockpit and you will see this. By the way, the vintage figure seems to be quite accurate here.

You already had the idea of communicate Hasbro what's "wrong" with the figures. The question is how? The answer is maybe by comparing them with reference pictures form the movies...

Great site. Keep up the good work. And I will buy your book. ;)

Greetings from Germany
Hunter
