Cecilie Posted August 3, 2016 Built for the Imperium der Steine MOC Olympics, round 2. My theme for this round was "dark side of the force". This is one of the pivotal moments in Anakin crossing over to the dark side. He doesn't know it at the time, but in this scene he is killing Darth Sidious' apprentice, making way for him to take his place, exactly like the Emperor is trying to get Luke to do in the OT. Palpatine is not doing a very good job camouflaging his dark intentions in this scene, but Obi-Wan is conveniently knocked out and thus unable to notice and stop Anakin. I initially tried to include a larger area of the room in my build, as I wanted to include at least the bottom part of the stairs they walk down, and leave some more space for Obi-Wan, but I had to cut it down a bit as I couldn't fit it all on 32x32. It was also very important to me from the start to be able to show the battle going on outside with the use of some micro spaceships, so I had to leave some room for those behind the windows. I'm very happy about how my micro spaceships turned out (can you recognize them all?) and also the curved floor leading up to where Palpatine is sitting. Kill him. Kill him now. by Cecilie Fritzvold, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Kallus Posted August 3, 2016 I like it very much but the Gandalf face does make Sheev seem less sinister. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inthert Posted August 3, 2016 Really nice recreation of this scene! I particularly like the use of (what I think are) the clikits parts for palpatine's hand binders, very clever :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashnflash Posted August 3, 2016 Gandalf telling Anakin to kill Sauron xD Love the whole thing! The floor design and build is really nice too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimnico Posted August 3, 2016 The micro fighters in the back are brilliant, they make the whole scene feel alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maginnster27 Posted August 3, 2016 Great build, also funniest star wars line to date 'Ech, Do it' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evanridpath Posted August 3, 2016 Tremendous use of layering with all the different scales represented! It really gives the scene depth and makes it feel alive! Fantastic job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mortesv Posted August 4, 2016 Look awesome, so many layers! How did you pull off those micro ships? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. Dan Posted August 4, 2016 Love this build! The micro ships in the background are a great touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atlas Posted August 4, 2016 Very nice. All,of the little details are magnificent. The only thing that really took me out of the scene is the not-palpatine, but of course that's totally understandable. One nitpick for an excellent diorama. The micro ships are really well done also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cecilie Posted August 5, 2016 Thank you everyone for all the nice comments I like it very much but the Gandalf face does make Sheev seem less sinister. It does, yes, but Gandalf was the best substitute I could find for my lack of the correct Palpatine face (I only have his later versions, with the super-wrinkle face). Really nice recreation of this scene! I particularly like the use of (what I think are) the clikits parts for palpatine's hand binders, very clever :) They are indeed clikits, yes Gandalf telling Anakin to kill Sauron xD Love the whole thing! The floor design and build is really nice too! You mean Saruman? Even funnier is that I couldn't find my movie-version Dooku, so I took my Clone Wars Dooku and put on the head from my Saruman minifig Great build, also funniest star wars line to date 'Ech, Do it' He's so not hiding his Sith-ness with that line Look awesome, so many layers! How did you pull off those micro ships? :) Uhm, by buliding them? The tri-fighters were the most difficult, I really wanted to include some, but I had almost given up on thinking I could represent them at that scale when I noticed some of those axe pieces on my desk and thought their arched shape looked like a good fit. Very nice. All,of the little details are magnificent. The only thing that really took me out of the scene is the not-palpatine, but of course that's totally understandable. One nitpick for an excellent diorama. The micro ships are really well done also Thank you I really wish I had the correct Palpatine, but sadly I never got my hands on him, and didn't have time to order him for this contest...

LegoMedGuy Posted August 8, 2016 Like others said, the micro builds in the background really make the scene! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickShady Posted August 8, 2016 Great MOC, so faithful to the source material! I love how you used axe blades to make tiny tri-fighters, good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Settle Posted August 8, 2016 Wow, love those pillars (lights?) at the side of the room! The micro-fighters are also very impressive,as it can be hard to build things on such a small scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 30, 2016 Great recreation. It looks perfect, aside from the fact that Lego hasn't given Anakin dual molded legs yet, but that's beside the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
