Did anyone else think they were "Romero&Jackson" in public and "Romero/Jackson" in private? 👀

What would their ship name even be?

First names: Rockson? Jamero? Romson? Jackero?

Or last names: Malank? Planolm? Plalcolm? Malcank?

STAR WARS INTERVIEWS: "How did you got the job to work on the "STAR WARS" movies "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi"?"

NILO RODIS-JAMERO: "I got a call. I met George Lucas at his house in San Rafael where I failed three questions: "Do you like science fiction books? Do you like science fiction movies? Do you like movies?" He hired me."

SWI: "For the "STAR WARS" movies the designs were mostly done by Joe Johnston, Ralph McQuarrie and you. Did the three of you had to work close together? If so, how did the cooperation go?"

NILO: "Joe and I shared a building, later an office. Ralph worked from home. George met with us every other week. We were never given assignments per se, just what we felt like doing within the story/outline George gave us.

We cooperated by seeing what each other did and what George responded to. Nothing was formal or said or assigned. It was all by feel."

SWI: "Can you tell something how you approached the job of art director and costume designer for "STAR WARS" and where you got your inspiration for the fantastic designs and drawings you made?"

NILO: "Inspiration is from George’s story, to come up with something ownable and unique to the property, something simple and easy to remember."

Okay, come on a little journey with me......

what if Romero and Jackson were actually undercover FBI informants?

The were both born into crime families of some kind. They were both super smart, but when you've got family who are criminals, you will always be seen as a criminal too regardless of who you are/want to be. You get labeled immediately, so it's easier to just be who they think or say you are. Also, they had pressure from their families to commit to the family legacy and lifestyle. But somewhere along the line, the two agreed that shit sucked and that if they were given the option to get out, they would take it. Meanwhile, they are committing to the bit. Doing pretty crimes, making a name for themselves.

At some point, they get caught by the police. (Maybe when they're youngish teenagers when they can still "turn their life around") It's a one in a million chance, but somehow there's an officer who recognizes how brilliant they are and knows someone who knows someone who is an FBI agent. This agent comes in and is like "you can't be an FBI agent, but you guys are lucky because you are smart and you are in just the right circles of crime that we currently need, so I'll make you a deal. Help me bring down a crime boss and your records will be wiped, you will be given new identities and a new place to live, and you will be allowed to live your life how you please."

Jackson and Romero agree. They promised that they would take any out possible and they know this is their best option.

So they go deep cover. They get released from that county jail and immediately start building up their reputation. Romero uses his sister's connection to a man named The Butcher to build their reputation even higher. Do they have to do crimes sometimes? Yes. Do they have to kill people sometimes? Yes. They try to only kill when necessary and only when it will actually help their reputation. It's never for sadistic reasons. Not like Lola. They finally get to the top, Nathan Wesninski.

And they help get him put away... but they didn't have enough to charge him with anything longer than 2 years, so Jackson and Romero are stuck in the crime world for at least a little while longer.

Then Nathan's 2 years are up and he gets out. And suddenly Romero and Jackaon see an opportunity. Nathan's sights are set on his son, so Romero and Jackson use this tunnel vision to begin setting up a trap with the FBI. But they have to be careful and they have to go slow because this really might be the only chance and if Romero and Jackson get caught... well... they've seen firsthand what Lola can do with a knife and they know exactly what sounds a human makes when cut by the cleaver.

So the watch and wait and plan with the FBI.

Then the moment comes. Do Romero and Jackson want to hurt a kid? No. But right now, that kid is the bait for a trap that will free them. So in the grand scheme of things, hurting one last kid is worth it.

They don't have to do much anyway besides manhandle the kid. And hand Lola the dashboard lighter. (Romero ends up having to use the lighter once. But he puts it in the same spot on the kid's face as Lola already did in hopes that the nerves are already burned and it won't hurt as much... his guess was wrong.)

Everything is easy from there. They initially left the stadium in a highway patrol car and then stopped to swap to a Cadillac. At this swap, Jackson was left with the pateol car and Romero and Lola continued on. Jackson was immediately picked up by the FBI. They took the highway patrol car and crash it. One faked death down. One to go.

Romero drove Lola and the kid to the next stop: a local police cruiser. Romero helped the officers get Neil from the Cadillac to the cruiser. Then he was left with Cadillac while they drove away. The FBI pick Romero up too. They stage a "drug deal gone wrong shootout" and now no one should come looking for Jackson or Romero.

They had to wait until it was official--that the Butcher of Baltimore was dead; that his inner circle was either dead (themselves included) or captured; that the feds had gotten plenty of info from the Butcher son--and then finally, Jackson and Romero were free. They were given new names, given new IDs, and a new place to live. Then they were free.

"A sinister and formidable bounty hunter like Boba Fett needs a similarly sinister and formidable ship to achieve his goals, and the memorable Slave 1 would soon prove an ugly-looking and intimidating, capable stand-out vessel of the "STAR WARS" saga."

STAR WARS - RETURN OF THE JEDI | CARRIE FISHER "PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA" JABBA THE HUTT SLAVE COSTUME

Original and iconic slave costume production components as seen worn by Carrie Fisher as "Princess Leia Organa" in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (Lucasfilm Ltd., 1983). 

Included is the original brassiere, front and back lower plate that would have been connected by a fabric loincloth, hip parts and two arm bands. These components are original production-made castings that were professionally painted in recent years. Elements of the costume are recently hand-painted in gold-tone and bronze-tones, with a metal-like finish and purposely distressed with a red undertone as it appeared on screen.

NOTE: The neck collar and chain, cloth parts and hair piece are replicas added for display only. A custom made stand and mannequin are included.

Carrie Fisher wears this type of ensemble while she is held captive by the powerful gangster Jabba the Hutt, both at his palace and while on his sail barge, the Khetanna. In a famous struggle between Leia and her captor, she manages to get behind the slug-like creature and choke him with the chains that bound her. 

With only minimal direction from George Lucas initially, Aggie Guerard Rodgers and Nilo Rodis-Jamero designed the iconic costume using inspiration from the 1929 film The Desert Song and Yvonne De Carlo's "Francesca" in Slave Girl (Universal Pictures, 1947).

For scenes where Fisher would sit absolutely still, a sculpted bronze bra by designer Richard Miller, Head Jeweler for the film, was implemented. For scenes that required movement or use by stuntwomen such as Tracy Eddon, rubber or resin versions of the ensemble were used.

In an interview with Star Wars Insider in regards to wearing the ensemble, Fisher said, "It was like steel, not steel, but hard plastic, and if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You'll have to ask Boba Fett about that."

Following the film, both the character Leia Organa and Carrie Fisher were seen as sex symbols. The outfit today remains one of the most iconic and memorable pieces of Star Wars and pop culture history. Only two other examples of production made and unused components have been publicly sold and no screen-used examples are known to exist outside of the Lucasfilm Archives.

Includes a DVD of the film.
