Finally I get to use those thin little ledges I put at each floor, all the way round the building. I still think there's loads of potential there for other possibilities. I'm currently contemplating a fire escape, you know, one of those rickety-looking metal frame ones they always have in alleyways in movies. Unfortunately I'll probably have to completely dismantle a wall to fit anchor points for it. Oh well.

One of the problems with Luke and Han dressing up as stormtroopers that I surprisingly didn't think of until I came to actually photograph this, was the problem of telling them apart. In the end I decided to go with having their disguises not being quite perfect so it's still obvious who's who. I think it also fits with the character of Han in this story, that he's participating but not really fully along for the ride. The other option I came up with was using a different font or style of speech bubble for each character, but I didn't really want to start altering that now, I'm happy with the rectangular bubbles (you may notice that I briefly used round ones in the very first story).
