Future of SW Contest (small category): Resurrection of the Emperor

Recommended Posts

This is my entry for the SW Contest (small category) - 16 x 16 studs.

I'll take some more photos when I've finished it, and the lights better, but thought that you might like to see a little preview :wink: It's illuminated with two sets of Technic LEDs which are all held within the main structure to comply with the competition rules.

The saga continues....

Episode VII – The resurrection of the Emperor

20 years after the second Death Star is destroyed a small band of loyal Imperial forces has managed to clone the Emperor from a sample of his blood, and are once again planning to take control of the Galaxy. Deep within the Geonosis catacombs they plot their revenge.... via the construction of a third Death Star!!

“Yes, I know that the first two didn’t work out as well as planned, but I’ve got an idea” said the Emperor. He continued “What we’ll do with this one is ensure there aren’t any small exhaust ports on the outside, and we’ll also have a defensive shield for it...and this time we’ll generate the power needed for it within the Death Star!” He chuckled at the thought of his evil genius.

Edit: Additional photos added. Apologies for the quality for the quality of the photos....it's rather dark in the UK at the moment!! I'm quite pleased how the rocks turned out, I've never tried building them before & it was really fun!

Full view: The battery box was a bit of an afterthought....I didn't know how else to hide it!!

C & C welcome! Cheers, Robin

This actually looks really good. Frown face... I was hoping to win :tongue:

Great little build. I think you have a good shot at winning that category.

However, I don't think they should eliminate those sure-fire ways of failure. Isn't that what made them so great?

I like this entry because it's something that I could see happening in Star Wars VII - it's got some of that satire with the inclusion of the DSIII, but it still stays within the realm of things that I wouldn't like but wouldn't be that surprised to see in the new movie. Nice job on the rockwork, too, which looks like it was excavated for the purpose of creating this evil lair without looking too artificial. :thumbup:

Thanks for the comments everyone, really appreciated! :blush: I'll try and add some other photos tomorrow; we're in the depths of winter in the UK at the moment & the natural light is rubbish!!

It's great, I think the best one in small category so far. but where is this? in some kind of cave?

It's based loosely on the command room on Geonosis (Episode II Attack of the Clones)

*snip*

PS: Nice space pictures on your flickr :wink:

Thanks, it's my other main hobby and I've still got a lot to learn! I've been hoping to do a lot more this winter but the weather has been truly awful :angry: I need to invest a fortune in a specialist (GEM) mount at some point so that I can take longer exposures....something else I need to save up for (apart from Lego!)

I've added some more photos as promised. I'm waiting for a Bricklink order, so it might change a bit before the deadline ends.

Nice MOC. I like the holographic Death Star centrepiece. What set does the orange ball come from?

Thanks, it's from 7754 Home One - (link here) to the Bricklink catalog entry. You need two!

I don't think the battery box takes away from the MOC at all actually. I think it looks like a plenum area where all the utilities would be run, which is what it is. Nice details throughout. Good luck.

Clever idea and well executed, the build faithfully creates the atmosphere of an underground hideout, a solid entry, all the best

Great MOC, I like the idea that the Emperor is resurrected and plots his revenge underground. The use of lights is just fantastic. Good luck! :thumbup:

Really nice entry Lobot! I love lighting: really conveys the atmosphere of the Emperor's secret lair. The orange globe looks the part as the plans for the Death Star III... it appears the Emperor is obsessivley persistent in his evil machinations!

Best of luck in the contest.
