The movie-accurate Hot Toys Princess Leia sixth scale figure was specially crafted based on the image of Carrier Fisher as Princess Leia in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope featuring a newly developed head sculpt, detailed hair sculpture of Princess Leia’s iconic hair style, specially tailored costume, two types of blasters, and a figure stand. That was added in 1981 and ever since then, the changes haven’t stopped.
And of course you’re aware of the addition of a CGI Ian McDiarmid in The Empire Strikes Back to replace the original actor.
There’s a new Star Wars out this December, in the extremely unlikely event you missed all the news about The Force Awakens. Empire is the most pristine, though the inclusion of a scream to Luke’s final fall is largely frowned upon (tweaks to the Wampa battle and Cloud City are among the most accepted). There are lots of others too, which you can see here. Since Empire is as flawless a film as possible, the changes are mostly visual and don’t have anything to do with the story. Some of the more surprising additions are the subtle changes made to the 2011 Blu-ray release in terms of color and clarity.
