The Many Expressions of Luke Skywalker
We all know that Luke Skywalker experienced great conflict in The Last Jedi, but I don’t think we were expecting Hasbro’s photo-real tech to emulate such a range of emotions on the new Luke Skywalker figure (VC 146).

Let us know your thoughts after the jump!
UPDATE – New expressions added!
