This was fun and challenging. It is 3- 8"x 3" round cakes topped with a "soccer ball" cake and chocolate buttercream in between. There are two wooden dowels holding it together (because it was VERY heavy). The legs are made out of carved chunks of rice crispy treats and held on with lollipop sticks. It isn't as nice as some of the fondant Artoos that I've seen on the Internet, but I have a slight aversion to fondant...sure it looks beautiful, but it tastes terrible and you'd either have to CHEW the frosting or PEEL it off to eat the cake...pretty gross if you ask me...so I was determined to do this in buttercream!
( while making this I got plenty of input from my family- since they're all "experts" telling me to do this and fix that and how inaccurate some of it is, etc...:))
