In all its 40 years, Star Wars fandom has proven itself to be as dedicated as they come. But one fan’s piece of art might take things to a whole other level.
A handmade bust of protocol droid C-3PO was listed for sale on Victoria Craiglist about a month ago at the reasonably affordable price of $3,800. Take one look at the sculpture, though, and you’ll see what makes it one of a kind.
That’s because this C-3PO is stacked with a pair of lovingly sculpted human breasts.
According to the Craigslist ad, the life-sized sculpture was produced for a Star Wars art show that took place prior to the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi in December 2017.
“For the show, I first started sculpting my clay into a bust of C-3PO, and as I carved him out I soon realized that he was starting to become more and more feminine,” the seller writes.
“Clearly, she was hiding inside and wanted out, so I gave her what she wanted and named her C-3PFEM!”
C-3PFEM, the seller says, is a “MAJOR collector’s item,” and since she doesn’t exist in the canon of the series itself, she’s “even more incredible to hardcore SW collectors who are looking for something that no one will ever have.”
That said, the seller hopes that C-3PFEM will make her way into a Star Wars movie someday as “C-3PO’s little fem-bot sidekick.”
While initially hesitant to part with the sculpture, the seller says they’re finally ready to let C-3PFEM go. “I’ve had my time to bond with and appreciate her, and I know that she’ll be hugely loved (even more than me) by a super fan/collector.”
“So, if you’re looking for something insanely unique that nobody else has ever seen and will definitely never own, she’s your girl and once she’s gone, she’s gone,” the seller writes.
We’ve reached out to the artist in the hopes of learning what went into the creation of C-3PFEM.
In the meantime, we’ll just be over here pondering the logistics of droids with human breasts in a galaxy far, far away…
