michaelozzie Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Very well done. All the right details are there. What did you use for the DS plans display? Quote
hachiroku Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks! Very well done. All the right details are there. What did you use for the DS plans display? It's just a screen capture from the movie. I cropped the plans and copy it in the photo. Quote
sparkart Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Neato, this looks nice. I like Luke still sticks out, being just a back-country bush pilot. Ever thought about how Luke gets put into an X-Wing? If you think about it, the Y-Wings are the fighters that had the most important mission, destroy the Death Star. That was the main mission. The others were just there to provide cover and distraction. I imagine the conversation... Rebel Tactician: "General Dodonna, we've analyzed the plans provided by Princess Leia, and have formulated an attack plan. It will require a diversionary attack force" General Dodonna: "Use the overweight, overage pilots in Red Group for the diversion." Rebel Tactician: "We've been able to piece together a few more X-wings from recovered and rejected spare parts, we could give those to Red Group, but they're a little under-manned right now." General Dodonna: "Then fill those ships with with whatever cannon fodder you can find! I heard we have a few Academy rejects, that Darklighter, for instance. And didn't a few stray dogs follow the Princess home? See if any of them can fly." Later, the Rebel Tactician finds our hero... Rebel Tactician: "Hey, hey, there! Nice job with the Princess saving, getting the droid and plans, uh....Nuke is it?" Skywalker: "Luke..." Rebel Tactician: "Well, Duke, how'd you like to help out some more? We've got a big meeting in about 20 minutes, we'd love for you to swing by. There will be coffee and donuts, too!" Quote
Backgild Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 This is a scene that I'm a big fan of, and this is a great rendition in Lego. Nicely done! Quote
hachiroku Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 Nice ! Did you use any special light ? No. I made it in the kitchen, with the fluorescent. Quote
KevFett2011 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Fantastic,looks so authentic and like in the movie :) KevFett2011 Quote

sparkart Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) What makes me think the Y-Wings had the main mission? Because the main mission was to destroy the Death Star. The Death Star was coming to crush the Rebellion once and for all. The star-fighters were given the mission to prevent that, by destroying the Death Star before it could get into firing position (presumably the planet was a bit too big for the Death Star to blast through). When you have a mission that important, you send in your best, most effective team to do it. I joke about Red Squad, because they make an easy target. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Red Leader was over-aged, Porkins was out-of-shape, Biggs lacked conviction (deserted from the Imperial Academy), Luke was an inexperienced bush-pilot, and Wedge was a naysayer (Colin Higgins) and coward (Denis Lawson).

Sad, funny, but true! I love this! This is a sweet recreation. But now you got me itchin for an official TLG version of those Death Star plans (printed, please!).

Pcm979 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 (presumably the planet was a bit too big for the Death Star to blast through).Yavin was a gas giant 198,500 km in diameter, so yes, it was a bit beyond the Death Star's mandate, I.E. to destroy Earth-sized rocky planets. And once the Death Star 1 had wasted a shot doing that, it would have been a day's wait to recharge for another shot at Yavin 4. Quote
