Chipao

In honour of awesome new Samurai-style Star Wars character figures (check them out in their full here), we imagine how these new lads and ladies might fit into a whole new storyline...

Enslaved to a Sultan, Chipao was forced into a life of hard labour as a young man, when Sultan Daku Joutei raided his village and slaughtered his family. Dragged back to the Sultan’s palace, Chipao has worked his hands raw obeying his new master’s every whim.

But the rage that he has bridled deep down in his belly has opened a portal inside of Chipao that means the slave man can tap into the strange, mystical powers of the cosmos. Could he be about to undo Daku forever?

      I don't understand this feature at all. Does the title even make sense? What exactly are we looking at? What are we supposed to take from this?

      How do Samurai factor into the Star wars universe?

      This only makes sense if you see the site they're taken from. Still rubbish though. & I'd be very surprised to see a Sultan in Samurai era Japan. Emperor would be better, but that might remind people of a certain website;-).

      The characters of R2-D2 and C3PO were loosely based on the servants in Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress as are the frame wipes. Tenous i know, but I like these figures, Daku looks too much like TMNT's Shredder and the less said about he Han Solo version the better but good job! Especially on Boba Fett and Obi wan!
