Love these Star Wars trash compactor bookends, though, as Alice at Wonderland points out, that is emphatically not Luke's nose (either pre- or post-surgery).

They all look very calm for being in a trash compactor.

But wait, they look fine in the bottom photo, but when you actually use them to hold books together, they're facing the wrong way... It's not a trash compactor, it's a book compactor!

#3 - that's just it - I've seen sock monkeys with more dynamic posing. On the Han side, both figures are leaning away from the wall!

Diggin Luke's honker, though.

That's Henry Winkler's nose. This is a scene from the 1978 "Chewy Meets The Fonz" holiday special.

Why are there DVDs for Episode I, II and III on this picture ? Everyone knows that these movies were never made ... oh, I see, it's just a filler because the bookends would look a bit ridiculous with only 3 DVDs to support ! Right ? Right !!!????
