[MOC] A Tribute to Carrie and Kenny

[Khaled Yousef]

Inspired by the tribute to Carrie Fisher that was shown in Celebration Orlando this year, I decided to dedicate my April Star Wars 40^th Anniversary MOC to both Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Kenny Baker (R2-D2) by building the most iconic scene that introduced them both in Episode IV: A New Hope.

Rest in peace Carrie and Kenny; we love you both very much.

Beautiful Khaled! You have even captured the red light reflecting on the bulkheads - superb!

Amazing work.

The kind of beautiful work designers such as yourself can do in such a small space is always impressive. Great job Khaled, this is a very fitting tribute.

Fantastic and outstanding build, and a heartwarming and touching message. Even a few months after, I still mourn Carrie's and Kenny's passing. I am glad that they will be fondly remembered by fans around the world.
