I get the joke, but it doesn’t quite make sense… The events leading up to the infamous Mos Eisley cantina scene in
Star Wars involved Greedo working for Jabba the Hutt, securing a contract on Han Solo, and — ultimately — being shot by Solo to delay paying Jabba his cut. Seriously, Han Solo killed Greedo for his own benefit, so Greedo didn't really die for the sins of anyone on his homeworld of Rodia… He literally died for the sins of Han Solo. Thus this figure should be titled “Greesus, Savior of Solo.” Or thus are my 2¢ on this resin creation from Dead Greedy of
Craptastic Plastic, who has obviously merged the cultural query of "who show first” into the most famous sacrificial death of all. Hand-cast and -painted by the artist, these “Greesus, Savior of Rodia” pieces are available now from the
Craptastic Plastic online shop for $75 apiece.
