Bazine Netal is only on the screen for a few seconds, but visually she is one of the most striking characters in The Force Awakens. Her almost Op-Art-y outfit makes her just pop off the screen.

These ARE the Droids I was Looking for!
The Big Reveal!
M4P 2015 DIY Star Wars Costumes: C-3PO and R2-D2.
C-3PO and R2-D2 are just like our kids. They fight, argue, bicker, they insult and occasionally even kick each other… Don’t believe me? Here are some side-by-side comparisons from A New Hope, and our house.
