I voted for E43D by Mos_Eisley. Why? It captures the epicness of what makes Star Wars awesome. Episode VI was the original Star Wars movie, and this MOC replicates what grabbed audiences, and got them hooked back in 1977. In the beginning of the movie, we see Rebels and Stormtroopers fighting, with both sides taking considerable casualties. Even though I wasn't around for the originals, I watched with great interest on my dad's VHS tapes. It had me, and most likely many others wondering what was happening. Vader emerges out of the smokey doorway, and immediately gave audiences chills. The MOCer did a perfect job with this section. The walls are smooth with some greebling, exactly how they were like in the movies. I also got a few chills just looking at this MOC, seeing Vader walking the hallway with his minifigure Stormtroopers following him. Lucas gave us a sense that we were in a faraway world when Luke looked beyond beyond the vast desert of Tatooine, and saw two suns setting millions of miles away. Mos_Eisley was able to re-build that scene, and used some great techniques for the twin stars and the atmospheric haze. The garbage chute scene was a very intense moment of the movie. Even before they got in the chute, our heroes were fighting hordes of Stormtroopers, looking for a solution to their current dilemma. Blaster bolts were going back and forth, and kept new-timers wondering if they were going to make it or not. There are no Imperials in this part of the MOC, but Eisley does a great job showing the distress in our heroes. Han is in his defensive pose, and looks like he is shooting at something. Eisley also has Leia signal to Han and Chewie about going in the garbage chute. I thought that was a brilliant interpretation of the movie put into the speechless minifigures. Turning the bignette another time shows the fateful duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the opening crawl made entirely out of stickers. This duel between Vader and Ben was a nail-biter, and the conclusion was a shocker, indeed. Mos_Eisley did a wonderful edition of the duel, showing Vader and Ben clashing sabers, with no fancy jumps or poses, just like in the movie. The surrounding area is very pleasing to the eye, as well, paying attention to how the Death Star walls were very detailed and metallic, not smooth. The opening crawl is my personal favorite of the MOC, displaying what is no different in all 6 Star Wars movies. The opening crawl was the first ever moment in Star Wars, and makes a marvelous plaque for the bignette. Also, could you imagine cutting and pasting all those stickers to make that? Good grief! I admire that detail. Wrapping up the MOC shows us a movie theater room, watching the ending of Episode IV in 3D. This ending scene admired our heroes(except Chewie) with medals. It was a very remarkable scene, with Luke and Han getting their well-deserved rewards for helping destroy the Death Star. Once again, Mos_Eisley hits this scene on the mark with his brick-built version, with Leia, Luke and the droids looking at the audience. I assume Han and Chewie aren't there because either he didn't have enough figs, or he wanted to give the effect that not the whole screen was in the field of view. Either way, it's still good. I also like the audience, with a mix of random minifigures and Star Wars minifigures. The theater left me speechless as well. Overall, the MOC is epic by extremely good building and by the meaning behind it. Both of which are astounding and definitely earn my vote. Good job, Mos_Eisley, very good job indeed. And I close by saying that if a Star Wars movie was released in 3D, I would be the first one to see it.

Wow, looks fragile... Very nice work! I love the little details. :)

Wow, I love the perspective with the elevated baseplates!

Yea, I kinda got inspiration from black fantasy. I was originally gonna do a darker MOC with destruction and the works, but I ended up doing this because I didn't want to get in trouble at my school lol.

Yup, aliens doing graffiti in the middle of the desert. Random, but just what I needed to get my art project done. A Close-up of the alien: Tripod: "I think I need glasses...": Enjoy! C&C welcome. :)

Love the scout trooper and the rebel commando pics. The grass really looks like they're on an alien planet, which is what ROTJ lacked, Endor looked too Earth-like.

Anyone remember This? This is the version 2 of it, and I actually modified the helmet this time, and he's black now. Enjoy! C&C welcome. :)

Named after the fast-moving celestial object, Comet-class Interceptors were able to move with great speeds through the vacuum of space. The tri-engine design, along with the small/medium size, is what made the 727th choose it as an alternative to the V-19 Torrent. Gallery Enjoy! C&C welcome. :)

Colors -> Colorize

I used the GIMP, which is like Photoshop... ;)

Thanks for the comment. But why a shame?

From The Force Unleashed. It's a digital custom test. Enjoy! C&C welcome. :)

Now you can take that and make a young Scotty with it...

Not quite a Piggyback walker, but it still is really nice! Just needs some detail on the legs. That CIS speeder is very, very good though. I love the slimness to it!

Zak, a Kel Dor mercenary, built his own speeder bike. He uses it when fighting with Xen Yoq's resistence. Enjoy! C&C welcome. :)
