Carrie Fisher and 2-1B.
Image 4 shows Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd, with a similar tall blue droid with glowing eyes. As the new Star Wars films fervently echo the old ones, I assume that’s a deliberate nod.
2-1B, man, I love 2-1B. Why? I don’t know. The character is so “vintage Star Wars” to me. The droid was just in the background, going about its way, performing its task, without drawing attention to itself. But the fact that even the background characters were available as action figures made them all into big stars.

Vintage promotional photos of Yoda. I remember seeing these in an old magazine, before I had seen the films—so intriguing. The Star Wars films were fantasy films, not sci-fi: they had more in common with say The Dark Crystal and The Never Ending Story than with Star Trek.
To me, the prequels and later films hurt Yoda’s character more than it deepened it, but that’s different for everyone I suppose.
Publicity photos of Carrie Fisher for RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983).
These, like yesterday’s photos, were taken on Stinson Beach, California, by Aaron Rapoport. Vintage, weird, fun—sexy—Star Wars.
A few fonts and things from WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971). I always thought the candy in the film looked so unappetizing. Like jars of painted kidney stones. The chocolate river in the factory seemed filled with baby diarrhea or something, or like the murky stream near a refinery. But anyway—the film is a classic of course, and Gene Wilder is supreme in it: a cordial demon.
