Thanks for the call out! Had a lot of fun making the mini Tessek. Jabbas Palace is full of cool background characters, just recently did Ree-Yees as well.
Great video! Thank you! Yeah, I met Gerald Home at a convention in England, and he was just a super-nice guy. And we DEFINITELY need an updated, super-articulated Tessek with fabric cape and robe in the TVC line. (And also Amanaman, Barada, EV-9D9, and U-8D8.)
This is why I love Star Wars, even the background characters will have a story written about them. This is also why I love this channel. You talk about the best parts of star wars
This is a great series from a criminally underrated channel. I've always loved the original ROTJ Jabba's Palace scenes - I remember intently studying the UK press and jigsaws to get a better look at all the background aliens.
I had the privilege of meeting Gerald twice. He signed my artwork of Tessek (Squid Head) at an event. We caught the same train back and had a super long chat about all-sorts and told me of on set stories. He was a really sweet guy. I met him again at another event with a piece of art of his Mon Calamari character. He remembered me, gave me a discount and also signed a photo with a personalised comment on it for free.
Cool details about this Squid Tessek character from Jabba's Palace. Poor Jabba always having to watch his back even with Tessek. ;) Nice art work there, and cool figure too with the newer version. Thanks for the video!
im so glad i watched this! Not just because hes my favorite star wars figure but to find out theres a patreon of someone making micromachies figures is awesome!! thanks for adding the link. i signed up immediately after watching.
Always great with these roll calls. Thank you! I really like the set up with the clips from the movies, background information and merchadise. Only addition I can think of right now is maybe what inpact the characters had on SW. Like in this case we see a bunch of other Quarrens in later movies/series, but obivously they all origin from Tesseks character. And maybe some more behind the scenes clips. And (not serious) a family tree with Granpa Cthulu, uncle Zoidberg and that mindflayer gang =D Looking forward for the next roll call =)
I am always fascinated by your knowledge and dedication to the niche of the Jabba the Hutt world and characters. Excellent job. I am a fan of Jabba myself and think he was the best in the Return of the Jedi film.
I love the roll call videos they are always a treat, I love the deep dive in the behind the scenes and merch, if you ever run out of jabbas palace characters you should totally do the cantina guys. goated
He’s also depicted on the Thermos brand Return of the Jedi Lunchbox from ‘83….I still have mine and loved using it as a kid…I just needed to mention it for posterity….love your work, exalted one!
the "tales"-books are still some of my favourites and absolutely part of my personal head canon! - and I loved the kenner fig because of the fluffy skirt and cape he had.
Tessek’s backstory make him a chad: Had a relationship with Gargan. Tries to kill jabba twice, but fail. Return to palace and join b’omarr monks lifestyle And enjoys it. What a true chad
I am so happy to see this series back as Jabba's Palace is also my favorite portion of all of SW. Tessek is def. in my top three favorite Jabba goons and I totally agree with the sentiment that though it's technically not cannon, the most the stories in the Tales books might as well still be canon (I consider them to be) because it doesn't contradict anything. For Jabba's Tale, I think only the Bib Fortuna and Boba Fett story don't mesh anymore. And truth be told, I like Bib's old fate to the B'Omarr Monks better than the new canon one. It was soooo creepy! All the others are such minor roles, they're not going to effect the larger picture so really they can stay canon IMO. I'm really hoping for a brand new Tessek Squid Head in the modern Vintage Collection line.
I would love to see Squid Head in the modern Vintage Collection (TVC). It would be an awesome figure I thd style of the recent Bib aborting and Yak Face figures. Thanks for the cool video.
I had several Squid Head figures, only because they were discounted heavily, and my relatives didn't coordinate their purchases for Christmas in 1983-84. Did I have three Squid Heads? Nice deep dive into a background character that us old timers remember all too well!
Great vid! I didn't know about some of those more modern items. I was just thinking about the mini in the Jabba's Palace kit when you showed the box seconds later. About the only other trivia I know for the vintage figure is it was kitbashed together with the arms of a Hammerhead and the harness from 4-LOM into a new Tatooine alien named 'Mongo Beefhead Tribesman' that Kenner invented when they were going to pitch a non-film expansion for the toyline in 1985. The head was cut off and rotated up 90 degrees so the tentacles became antlers and two protuberances on the underside of the skull became the new eyes. After it was shown in a magazine article by Steve Sansweet in the early 90s, I immediately made a custom recreation. I've seen a few other fans follow the same recipe to make others.
I knew about the Mongo Beefhead figure, but didn't think to include it here (although to be fair it's a bit of a tangent from this character). Maybe I could do a TH-cam short about it
Mighty Jabba's Collection and Spector Creative release a Tessek video on the same day... are we finally getting him in TVC? Also it's the first time I see his card back and I love it
Those POTF figures might have goofy proportions but they have a lot of heart in the sculpting. I'm also curious if you have reviewed that Jabba's Throne Room model yet on it's own.
Can you do a rolecall vid on Sy Snootles? She’s my personal favorite, and yes I don’t mind her updated CGI version in the special edition, i think that makes her sexier
My favorite movie is probably still A New Hope since that was how I got introduced to Star Wars and I have probably watched it 50 times or more throughout my life. Not sure about vehicles - maybe x-wings
Nothing beats a new jabbas palace role call.
I know right
Thank you for the videos!!

You're the best star wars TH-camr 👍

As a Lego collector, I was happy to see this species's inclusion in the Boba's palace set. I always want more aliens
I still think the old Kenner Squidhead is one of the highlights of the line. Great figure. That Dixie cup!!!
These videos are some of my favorite star wars content on youtube
This is for sure my favourite star wars video series, always enjoy hearing about these obscure characters and merch.
This is a great series from a criminally underrated channel. I've always loved the original ROTJ Jabba's Palace scenes - I remember intently studying the UK press and jigsaws to get a better look at all the background aliens.
Keep this series up. Love it
Love this series. Hope we get an episode on 8D8
8D8 is my favourite too
Love these Jabba's Palace Roll Call videos! Very detailed thorough and interesting - fantastic stuff 👍
Ree-Yees and Tessek are my favourite denizens of Jabba’s Palace. Both have that creepy, rubber monster look.
My favourite alien character! I have 30 of his vintage figure! 🦑
Wow that’s impressive. Do you collect variants or are you armybuilding?
I love the roll call videos. You should do one for Beedo, who is maybe one of the most ridiculous background characters in Star Wars.
HEY!!! Be nice!
@@Beedo_Sookcool Ridiculous in a good way. Beedo is one of my favourite characters. 😁
@@_Chelli_ Well, you obviously have excellent taste. 😉
One of my favorite video series and man another story where a character ends up as a bomar monk

Can't wait for Ree Yees to appear
Just stumbled on your series. These are great and exactly in my SW wheelhouse. Thank you!

Great video, and the actor's idea of Yarna and Tessek being a former couple is hilarious.
He’s also depicted on the Thermos brand Return of the Jedi Lunchbox from ‘83….I still have mine and loved using it as a kid…I just needed to mention it for posterity….love your work, exalted one!

I absolutely LOVE these roll call videos. Im a reggae singer from Ohio who loves all things Star Wars. Go figure! Haha. Anyway, keep 'em comming!!!!
thrilled by the return of this series. one of my fav characters in the palace
Tessek’s backstory make him a chad:
Had a relationship with Gargan.
Tries to kill jabba twice, but fail.
Return to palace and join b’omarr monks lifestyle And enjoys it.
What a true chad
Wow, this was a super comprehensive video! I loved it.
I was glad to see Quarren featured in the Mandolorian show..Great segment by the way, looking forward to more!!!

I love these Roll Call videos! I'm sure they are a lot of work. Thank you for putting them together. Can't wait for the next one!
My favourite feature!! 👍🦑👍
I would love to see Squid Head in the modern Vintage Collection (TVC). It would be an awesome figure I thd style of the recent Bib aborting and Yak Face figures. Thanks for the cool video.
The Kenner figure was one of my favorite toys as a kid. I used him as a villan on many a made-up adventure.
Yay! My favourite series!
I had several Squid Head figures, only because they were discounted heavily, and my relatives didn't coordinate their purchases for Christmas in 1983-84. Did I have three Squid Heads?
Nice deep dive into a background character that us old timers remember all too well!
love this series

Loved the video, as always!
Mighty Jabba's Collection and Spector Creative release a Tessek video on the same day... are we finally getting him in TVC?
Also it's the first time I see his card back and I love it
I love the “role calls”. It was also cool to see the species represented in season 2 of Mando….
I definitely see Wallace’s design connection between Tessik and Brundel fly.
Love the roll call vids
ive been looking forward to this
Awesome video on star wars creatures and fantastic alien 👽👽👽👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Long have I waited..
Nice video
Yes it’s back!!!! 🎉
Those POTF figures might have goofy proportions but they have a lot of heart in the sculpting.
I'm also curious if you have reviewed that Jabba's Throne Room model yet on it's own.
I do actually plan to do something where I paint the entire Jabba’s Throne Room model set but it may take a while
They showed a lot of improvement with the later ones just before the Power Of The Jedi line
We want more roll calls
I wonder if he and Senator Tikkes were originally supposed to be the same character, they did have the exact same outfit.
God I love these
_Tales from Jabba's Palace_ *IS* canon to me!
More of these videos please 😏👌✨
I think DnD beat them to the punch with this design. The Mind Flayer.
Now I have to display him with a few monks
Can you do a rolecall vid on Sy Snootles? She’s my personal favorite, and yes I don’t mind her updated CGI version in the special edition, i think that makes her sexier
Hi what is your favourite star wars movies and your favourite vehicles
My favorite movie is probably still A New Hope since that was how I got introduced to Star Wars and I have probably watched it 50 times or more throughout my life. Not sure about vehicles - maybe x-wings
Awesome toy
I think only Shasa Tiel doesn't have a figure out of those background characters during the Luke scene. Big shame, I like how she looks.
1:21 than god it was not Sylvester Stallone. Although great he did not fit into the Star Wars universe.
I like to think that Tessek along with reeyees lived along side bib fortuna. I mean the ONLY thing they have in common is they all despise Jabba.
