Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Hasbro

Happy Star Wars Day! The month of May also happens to correspond with the fortieth anniversary of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, considered by many to be the finest installment of the franchise. As we know, STAR WARS also means toys, and lots of 'em. Hasbro will be released a special set of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK action-figures, including AT-AT Driver, Han Solo (Bespin), Imperial Tie Fighter Pilot, Lando Calrissian, Luke Skywalker (Bespin), Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder), Princess Leia Organa (Hoth), R2-D2 (Dagobah), Rebel Soldier (Hoth), and Yoda, and the company reached out to a handful of toy photographers with the task of bringing scenes from the film to life with the figures.

#AD @hasbro Thank you for these Amazing Star Wars: The Black Series 40th Anniversary Figures. The Nostalgia of the Vintage backing card brings back so many memories. This is a real pleasure for me to recreate scenes from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, a seminole movie within the Star Wars Fan Base. Yoda, the legendary Jedi Master is absolutely my favorite character from the Star Wars Universe. As a kid I had a huge Yoda poster on my door so every night when I went to sleep I felt safe and sound.???? So, that being said “May The Fourth” be with you Always. • #HasbroToyPic #ESB40 @hasbro and @hasbropulse #Yoda #actionfigurephotography #toyphotography #starwars#starwarstoypics #starwarsfans#toyphotographer #starwarstoyphotography #aztoypics #aztoycrew #starwarsfigures #atmospheric #actionfigures #reddog5 #art #starwarstheblackseries #atmospheric #photography #imagination
