I thought someone who collects Star Wars and tiki might like these (after gazing into the bowl for an answer, the tiki people of Marquesia decide to join the rebellion?). For ye ole' TC search engine, they are titled No. 703 Galactic journey and No. 768 Planet Base Station. I saved the auction pic:
