 At about the time the rebels were planning their assault at Endor, Takla Bhu was opening his family's newest travel office.  They were hoping their company's line of shuttles and travel planning services would pick up with their new advertising.  They had a serious of commercials that appealed to the more adventurous.  The writers followed some battle sites days even hours after investigations by Imperial or Alliance officials.  After the Battle of Endor and the death of Palpatine, their business boomed.  Since then, the Bhu family have been great supporters of the New Republic.

As a bounty hunter, Mrikza Bhu was happy as can be.  Business was good and he was near retirement, a rarity for bounty hunters.  On what he was going to call his last job, he came across a Jedi.  This Jedi convinced him to continue to hunt but for the Light.  Bhu now helps to locate displaced family members since the end of the Yuuzhon Vong War.

It's extra heads from the Jango/Coleman Geonosis set from Target.  Coleman Trebor went over a cliff fighting Dooku in the Geonosis Arena.  I had so many after getting a few of the sets to do up my Mando collection.  I figured, "hey why not do a whole race or family custom".  And now I have.  I may do more with the bodies but we'll see.  Thanks for the FP.

Zorda Bhu was something of a gambler/smuggler.  He traveled the space lanes aboard many luxury liners, made and lost millions, and always sent his winnings to his village.

They all look great. I especially like this one, reminds me of a Ferengi. May I ask where you got you display stand? Looks like one of those skate board sets.

It is.  I'll post or PM you a pic of the whole thing.  I don't remember which one, though.  I've wanted to do a ST/SW crossover for years but never got around to it.  Maybe next summer.

I want to!  I'm debating over it.  If I can get another Jaster Mereel and Montross set, maybe.  The helmet would be the problem.

Here are a couple of Jedi.
Morbodo Gebo became a master not long after the Ruusan Reformation and still had a warriors heart.  He and his circle of friends actually hoped for another war to raise the Jedi into their former military standing.  His friend and fellow Jedi, Uhaltran Bwa'leyan, had to reason with him for fear of Gebo turning to the dark side.  Years later Gebo thanked Bwa'leyan for calming him through the transition of the Jedi.  This did not stop him from volunteering for missions that were quasi military in function with Bwa'leyan right next to him.  Bwa'leyan always said it was his own remembrances of days past but Gebo knew it was to keep an eye on him.
