The voting is over and a winner has been elected for the Gentle Giant Premier Guild 2020. There were 4 Star Wars characters to choose from with one from A New Hope and three from Return of the Jedi. First up is the man who has the death sentence on twelve systems, Dr. Evanzan. Then we had three members of Jabba's Palace with the skiff worker Klaatu, Rancor Keeper Malakili, and accountant Tessek. Well, the majority seems to be in favor of the accountant as Tessek was crowned the winner. This squished does have a very great character design and will look great from Gentle Giant. Their Star Wars busts are always great to see and this will one fan will want to get their hands on.
