Hello there everyone! I hope you are keeping safe out there and you’ve had a productive week thus far! So I saw this thing on Reddit and I didn’t bother looking into it until now. But this is pretty amazing right? Can you imagine this on your mantelpiece? 😮 Does this look like something someone would actually collect?
I managed to find the original thread on Reddit where they talk about this Rancor mount and then someone further down in the thread advised everyone that it is a PHOTOSHOPPED image showing the Rancor head as a piece of mounted taxidermy in someone’s living room.
Well, that’s DAMN ingenious I say and they really had me fooled for a good long minute lol 😅😂
But alas, yes, it’s fake and unless someone can point me in the direction of the real thing (which doesn’t exist and probably never will), I am sticking to my Reddit sources on this one.
But still, doesn’t it look amazing? I am pretty sure if this was real, there’d be quite a few hardcore Star Wars collectors that would buy this… maybe Rancho Obi-Wan?
Anywho, let me know what you’ve all been up to this past week and we’ll chinwag about that AND Star Wars 😁 See you in my next post!
That is quite hideous, lol. I can’t imagine anyone would want that ugly thing in their house, but with Star Wars fans, you never know, lol.

I’ll say it must have been pretty impressive how fast the Rancor was running before he hit the other side of the wall!🤣 The shadowing is a little too dark and hard edged…if they had feathered the shadow layer (or used a fading drop shadow) it might have not looked so faked (but not a bad attempt though).

Lol I didn’t even look at that mind you, I was in a rush when I saw it and was like “right click save” lol. But yeah when I take a better look I can see things that aren’t right, and the biggest blunder is the hard edge between the rancor and the wall like you said, it’s so obvious now that I look properly lol but still. I commend the person that put this together because it certainly fooled me 😛

In my early days with tech I did a lot of photo restorations and learnt a lot of editing tricks. I found that on a textured surface such as the brick wall, that it’s better to use a soft edged shadow due to all the recesses between bricks and the ridges on their faces.
