Lego Star Wars Salacious B. Crumb Minifigure 9516

Product Information

The original prop is still in the [Lucasfilm] archives. We do a lot of research at the Skywalker Ranch archives and over the years with my other company, we've done restoration work for them on a number of pieces. So we did get to go and look at that real puppet. We got to spend many, many, many hours and days, actually, with it. We were able to measure things. We were able to take photos and really provide Tony with a foundation to make sure that this new sculpt was going to be one-to-one, 100% the same size, the same look, etc. And, you know, we sent Tony a lot of reference photos. Probably way too many reference photos. He can probably sculpt in his sleep at this point. [ Laughs] Inside the room, a Jedi or Sith can lift three missing picture pieces and place them on the corner painting. Place all three to complete the picture.

Tony McVey: You need to be careful about that. If it matches the look I've seen in my brain before I started, or it matches the artwork, that's when you know. Maybe it goes a little bit beyond just the point where you think, "OK, OK, this is good. This has a personality to it." And you get to know what that moment is pretty soon. After the defeat of her crew, Lourna falls into the hands of the Jedi–but not before she hides her identity, becoming just another Nihil convict. Her captors fail to understand the beast they have cornered. Just like every fool she's ever buried, their first mistake was keeping her alive.

Star Wars: Card Trader (Card: Salacious B. Crumb - Jester - Base Series 1) establishes that Salacious B. Crumb was killed during the Rescue of Han Solo, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. In 4 ABY, Crumb was present when members of the Rebel Alliance came to rescue Han Solo, whom had been frozen in carbonite and hung on the wall of Jabba's audience chamber as a trophy. Crumb was seated before Jabba on his dais when the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 arrived to deliver a message from the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker. The droids were offered to Jabba as sign of goodwill from Skywalker, though the Hutt declared that he would not give up his "favorite decoration", causing Crumb and the rest of the court to laugh.

Tom Spina: Tony had worked with us previously on the Gamorrean Fighter maquette from The Mandalorian. It's the first thing we got to see from Season 2. I immediately fell in love with the sculpt. I thought it was brilliant. Then one of our other sculptors here saw it and he said, “Look at those hands. That's McVey.” [ Laughs] “Nobody does hands like Tony McVey.” So sure enough, we find out that it was one of Tony's sculpts. That was something that that really kind of put us together. We got to talking. We both love a lot of the same old stop-motion and things like that. And so, you know, the Salacious thing came out of [of that]. No one closer to Bloated One! No one ! All day, every day, Hutt say 'Crumb, Salacious Crumb,' he say, 'Salacious Crumb, make me laugh now or I eat you!'» ―Salacious Crumb, describing his employment [5] Wouldn't it be funny if there was a little tiny creature that sat on the shoulder of one of the creatures and repeated everything that the big creature said during the argument?" ―Ben Burtt's original idea for Salacious B. Crumb [13]Recently, StarWars.com sat down with McVey and Regal Robot’s Tom Spina to talk about sculpting the new, limited-edition Salacious replica. StarWars.com: So once you twisted Tony's arm, you got all of that research in the measurements and all that, how long does it take to create the replica start to finish? And also, Tony, I am curious if now that he's in the spotlight and this is something that's going to be in people's homes, if you are tempted or added additional details that you would have liked to see on the original. Salacious B. Crumb was a Kowakian monkey-lizard employed as a court jester for Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Known for his shrill laugh and sadistic sense of humor, Crumb started out as little more than vermin on Kwenn Space Station during the days of the Galactic Republic, eventually escaping onto a ship belonging to Jabba the Hutt.
