It's almost like this is becoming the new Captain Morgan knee up pose with them =/

I agree that Lukes especially looked weak in execution.
However the jazz hands on Han and Luke are a little more appropriate because the figure is reflexively doing it for counter balance- not the splayed fingers, but the dainty wrist- in both cases the arm is also out so it's not an awkward 90 degree bend.
Otherwise, for a figure to be standing fully erect and have their hand bent at the wrist like that, as Leia is, seems really forced, contrived.
That's the kind of stuff you see with a lot with rookies. It comes from less time spent observing real life and real people, and more time spent copying other artists (and usually not the good ones).
It's the antithesis of the qualities I see in someone like Harbottles work and whoever did the newest Sonja.
Here- why is this so hard to do. Don't know what to do with the left arm/hand? How about having her use both hands to hold the blasters like she does in the film?
You can even get the body lean in to give the piece some compositional interest.
Instead I look at that concept design art and think...amateurish.
I'm also not digging the truncated sidewalls on the base. Either go floor to ceiling with them or leave them off entirely. All that knee high piece does is call attention to itself and distract from the rest of the statue,
