Andor, the Disney+ series, is increasingly recognized by fans as one of the best written pieces of Star Wars content with certain scenes becoming instant classics. One of the characters that has become a fan favorite is the rebel spy/leader Luthen Rael. His monologue in episdoe 10 is becoming one of the best pieces of acting in all of Star Wars. The Fondor below is a fan made design I found on etsy and is an unpainted prototype bringing me back to when we first saw the HasLab Khetanna aka Jabba’s Sail barge. Please scroll through their photos on Etsy as it’s quite amazing as it shows the full functionality of the haulcraft from the show. There’s also this one on Etsy too! I’m geeking out over these and may very well print one of them to have a little fun with.
This ship has one of the coolest spaceship scenes in all of stars too during its engagement with the Cantwell-Class Imperial Arrestor Cruiser. It shows how formidable this ship is and puts it up there with Boba Fett’s Slave I, Luke’s X-Wing, Mando’s N1, and Vader’s Advanced Tie. Bring us this bada$$ ship and this bada$$ rebel spy who deserves to be in the line, after-all, he burned his decency for someone else’s future. HasLab it, give us all of it’s mods, give us Luthen Rael, and give us his speeder too. Keep it around $250 and it will fly to 20k+ backers in no time. Never done before ships are exciting and fit the pattern of prior HasLabs.
The Fondor is a heavily modified version of a V-21.1 Chevlex with a cockpit reminiscent of the Falcon’s cockpit (I believe they are both Corellian built ships too). This ship can be placed next to some tie fighters in your display or placed in a Ferrix diorama with the speeder sliding out from it’s compartment ready for Luthen to traverse the rocky outskirts of the industrial planet.
Here’s a list of what I’d hope for:
- Include the following
- All of the modifications.
- Luthen’s personal droid mod and co-pilot of the Fondor (pic below).
- The pop-up laser cannon turret
- The pop-up projectile launchers
- Dual laser defense system add-ons to the wings
- All of the modifications.
- The decoy luxurious interior.
- I’d love a an Antiques Dealer Luthen figure tier as well. “Senatorrrrrr!”
- The hidden weapons locker.
- The functional wings with canons.
- Include the Speeder Bike as a tier or just include it.
- And for the love of TVC include some lighting for the thrusters and side lasers.
