Salacious knew many individual's secrets and he was completely willing to use those secrets for his own personal gain or amusement. He had no moral code and was only loyal to Jabba. [12] StarWars.com: Tony, why do you think you're so great at capturing these creatures and aliens that spring to life that are nothing of this world? What fever dream do you think these little guys come out of? As seen in the 1985 documentary From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga, Crumb's puppeteer Tim Rose actually gave Crumb a voice (other than Crumb's laughing as seen in Return of the Jedi), which he frequently used in conjunction with the puppet to joke around on set. The voice heard in the film is that of Mark Dodson. Tony McVey: I had free time to work on it so I could just devote my time to that. But it still took a long time. About six months.

But when it came time to graduate and enter the world of higher education, McVey says he was encouraged to spend his time on something with a little more job stability. “I went to art school (in Southampton) for three years and studied graphic design, which was totally boring for me,” McVey recalls. “I was advised to get into that because that's where the money was. If you wanted to be an artist, be a graphic designer, get into graphics.” The Hutt, however, had grown tired of Crumb's antics, and this was the second occasion that he had brought academics into the palace in an attempt to amuse the Hutt. Jabba asked but one thing of Melvish Bloor: to make him laugh. A gleeful Crumb watched Bloor struggle to think of a joke that would amuse Jabba, and when he did, the Hutt announced that he had heard it before. Bloor was killed by Jabba's fearsome rancor below his court, though Crumb had yet to earn his pay by making Jabba laugh for that day. He did so by joking on a phrase the late professor had mentioned earlier, "publish or perish." Jabba was amused, and allowed Salacious to continue to act as court jester. [5] Jabba's Demolition Games [ ] Are you saying this Salacious Crumb deliberately led Professor P'tan to fall into the Sarlacc pit as a—a joke?" Every day, every day, fresh jokes. All time, fresh, fresh, fresh! Try tell Bloated One same joke twice!"Through the whole process, I bugged him with photos and really, really pushed to match not just the character, but the prop. And Tony does -- and I don't know, he’s probably too humble to say -- again, brilliant hands. But the texturing on the skin that he did looks like latex and cotton fabrication or latex and tissue, like you would do when you're fabricating a prop like this. Everything on it is made to feel like that real prop, to look like the prop, to have that sense of kludged together effects [from a] guy working in the middle of the night, I'm sure, after many, many days. That was the whole goal. And much like Tony's brilliant sculpt on the original prop gave [Salacious] a great foundation, Tony's brilliant work on our sculpt gave me and our team inspiration. When we then went to do the paint mastering and to do the finished work on it, it has all these great little nooks and crannies that are just made to catch a wash and to pop those details and everything . Where LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga shines most is in its overall presentation, which is top-notch throughout. 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] We dedicate the bulk of the episode to a spoiler-filled discussion of Cavan Scott's new High Republic novel 'The Rising Storm' – we cover our thoughts on Jedi sexy-times, frustrated desires and proto-Force bonds; consider how Marchion Ro compares to Kylo Ren; and place our bets on the identity of 'The Fallen Star' of the next High Republic novel.

Star Wars: Card Trader (Card: Salacious B. Crumb - Jester - Base Series 1) (First identified as Salacious B. Crumb)

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. [6] We will now need to search for jokes and gags and we will need to find a total of 5 before we can complete this mission Part 3 of 3. Our summer series on Obi-Wan Kenobi comes to a close with our finale episode all about Obi-Wan embodying the tarot card figure of "The Hanged Man." What does that mean and how can we consider Obi-Wan as this figure? Caitlin and Charlotte discuss Kenobi as a spiritual figure, his personal tragedies, how he stands between the living and spiritual world, Obi-Wan as a sacrificial figure, comparisons to Ben Solo, and much more. Listen here. Minikit #3: In the same starting area, find this minikit hidden in the bushes to the right of the speeders that arrive. Grab it before chasing down the escaping scouts!

Around the Galaxy is a one-hour Star Wars fan talk show. Every week, Pete Fletzer brings you conversations with authors, personalities, actors, creators, and super fans talking about their Star Wars journey. In the latest episode, Pete speaks with Scott Ryfun. 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. 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]. Growing up in Glasgow, Scotland, McVey fell in love with movie magic and special effects after his father took him to see The 7 th Voyage of Sinbad, with stop-motion by Ray Harryhausen. “I'd never seen anything quite like that before, so it really captured my imagination,” McVey tells StarWars.com. After the family moved to England, a then pre-teen McVey became immersed in researching Harryhausen’s other works and the world of stop motion animation. He can still remember the day he learned about King Kong. “(My dad and I) were standing at a bus stop waiting for the bus, it was taking forever to come. And he started telling me, for some reason, about this movie about a giant ape climbing to the top of the Empire State Building and swatting at bi-planes and being shot off. And I thought, ‘Wow, I have to see that.’ And I did see it eventually in a movie theater when I was 13, was on a double bill with The Thing from Another World.” Minikit #5: During the speeder bike chase sequence, a scout will eventually appear with a minikit on his bike. Defeat the trooper and they’ll drop it so you can take it.

Gather jokes from the residents of Mos Eisley

Tom Spina: Well, he's bigger than people think, too. It's the sort of thing that it's careful, cautious, slow work when you're trying to replicate something. It's fast work when you're creating something for the first time! But to replicate it? It's a slog. You know, and I feel slightly bad for having asked Tony to do that. Crumb was present at Jabba's side when the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader arrived in Jabba's Palace to negotiate with the Hutt, [10] and later accompanied his master aboard the sail barge Khetanna to celebrate with Vader. Crumb laughed uproariously as Jabba's gangsters fired at a herd of banthas, causing Vader to threaten the creature's life should he laugh again in his presence. [9] Han Solo's rescue [ ] Apparently Salacious Crumb is one of the jesters in the area that is unfortunately beginning to run out of good jokes and gags, they now need our help to fix this problem.

Minikit #1: Deal with Boba Fett, then climb up and board the gun turret that was located directly behind where you started the level. Four droids will appear in the air — shoot them all down to earn a prize. Tom Spina: [ Laughing] I'll jump in because I fear that Tony may be too humble to ever say it, but … Tom Spina: There is life and energy in that sculpture. That is a character that even as a still piece -- ours is a static replica -- But even as a static piece, it pops. It jumps at you. It wants to live. And Tim certainly did a wonderful job bringing it to life for the movie. But Tony brought so much to the table in that initial sculpting fabrication of that puppet that you can't help but find character in it. And to me, that's the mark of a brilliant sculptor, that sense of character that comes through in what they make. Tony McVey: That's a good question. I don't know where these things come from. I think it must be… when I was a teenager, I looked at a lot of comic books and science fiction. Edgar Rice Burroughs and Ray Bradbury and I don't know who else. And I watched a lot of movies and got into the history of movies and all these classic monsters and so on. And it definitely had an influence on me. The rest of it, I have no idea where it comes from. Pink Milk is a podcast where hosts (and husbands) Bryan and Tom talk Star Wars, queerly.

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] 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.
