Has Anyone Seen This Vibroaxe?

[Macklin]

I was just perusing T-Bone's site and came across this pic:

The guy on the left is holding an axe I don't remember seeing before. Anyone else have pics or info on this prop?

looks like a bad photoshop with some fancostumes incorporated

I concur.
Reeks of Adobe

No, that guy and his fish-bowl get up is in the archive photography - he's the oddest character in ROTJ, and I don't think he made it into any pics or material that's often seen.

Those guys are the ones approaching in the skiff that Luke jumps onto. He takes out fishbowl head when Boba is about to shoot.....

It does seem that the photo was modified in Photoshop some.
It looks like they filled out the right side of the skiff.
They are all real characters, but that Klaatu though looks pasted in- the left side of his body is cut off in a hastily made lassoed v-shape.

But he's doing the exact same thing in the real film......see still above...

Nah, that's just an illusion.

The Klaatu is hanging out the side door and his vest just happens to follow the "cutout" line. You can clearly see his right arm and the bluescreen background behind his hip.

Other pics on the page were from the BTM CD and all are the same size and resolution, so I'm assuming this one's from the CD as well.

In any case, I take it that this is a no-go. Yet another ROTJ prop with no visual history.

I wonder what happened to all these axes and staffs? Has an original ever popped up on Propstore? I love these things.

The one Fish bowl is sporting looks to be the same as the one used by one of the two Piggy's that try to stop Luke in Jabbas Palace..

By the way, Fish bowl is the same guy that Chewie smacks when Boush first enters Jabbas throne room :lol
