    Star Wars

    That moment when you realize Rouge One is a Star Wars prequel... :/ but I know it's in good hands, the production team will surely learn from Lucas's blunders of continuity and tone. Wow, imagine if those mini figures actually came in gold........
  2. Worst movie: The Phantom Menace (+the other Star Wars prequels). A movie that's bad is forgettable. A movie that is a poor adaptation of source material is easily discarded. But movies that lessen your enjoyment of other films, great films, are inexcusable.

    Really the best possible new mold for Kylo's hilt would be one with the same structure as every other, just also having two transred bits sticking out near the top, permanently attached.

    Decal Wish List

    Wow Commander Beltar... For YEARS I had thought that there was only one Y-wing pilot shown, the Grey Squadron Leader. But no, it was two! This is like finding out Santa isn't real.... I might need to buy another b-wing....(probably not) Edit: actually it had bothered me that the pilots voice changed between when one says "there's too many of them" and the other says "I'm HIIIIIIT". I thought it was the first guy overacting fear, but no.

    Is there some kind of rule that a battle droid has to be in every advent calendar? The even slipped IG-88 into the last one to cover that slot! White Chewbacca looks alright, but with that head on a regular body it wouldn't look quite right to how snowy Chewbacca looks in the movie. "Snowtrooper" snowman looks more like an imperial general's helmet. The Bespin guard makes me feel much better about not getting UCS Slave One.

    Star Wars:TFA Theories

    Kylo Ren being Skywalker is emotionally impactful enough. He is one of the main characters. Of course TFA is successful mostly because it is a Star Wars movie, but it was undeniably a good movie. None of the main protagonists are named as Skywalker in the film. And finally what does it matter that the other films I named are spinoffs? They are part of the Star Wars universe. Who says they don't count?

    Star Wars:TFA Theories

    Hey, not picking on you but it always bothers me when people say Star Wars is about "the Skywalker family". Luke is undoubtably the main hero of the original trilogy, but the story isn't about "family" until the last 15 minutes of Empire Strikes Back. TFA is the most financially successful Star Wars movie and its protagonist is canonically NOT {yet} related to Luke. How will they make the main character of the Boba Fett movie a Skywalker? Right around the corner is Rouge One, and (though I don't think the protagonist's name has been released) it is led by a woman, meaning she's either some sort of Lars second cousin adopted half-sister, or she's not related to Luke.

    Katana is new 52? After googling that design I really hope her face isn't grey in the set.

    Maybe the farmer is Farmer Brown from BTAS,the guy who sends giant animals to attack Gotham. But probably not.

    Decal Wish List

    Thank you, Poe Dameron. The decal looks even better than I could have hoped for! I can't wait to print it. Judging from your picture it works very well on the figure.The exclusion of the braid is inconsequential, it was an unnecessary detail in the first place. That Kylo Ren face looks perfect too.

    Star Wars:TFA Theories

    Finn being Lando's son would be really disappointing. I don't think Finn and Rey need legendary parentage to be interesting characters. Finn works well as a nobody foot soldier who realized the wrongness of his cause and decided to stop fighting for the First Order. Rey is just fine as a nobody scavenger, probably daughter of someone strong with the force; but Luke? It doesn't work for me. Given how much he hated Tatooine, why would he drop his daughter on a desert planet? If he wanted her not to be found, why not just put her on the next planet over seeing as his planet was completely uncharted. The other big theory is that Snoke is Plagieus. Hopefully, these future movies take a cue from Abrams and distance themselves as far from the prequels as possible, especially from a character who apparently acknowledges Midichlorians and mutates them to (rape?) impregnate virgin women on desert planets. REALLY hoping for no Midichlorians.

    DC Comics Cinematic Universe

    SO pumped for Slipknot. He is easily the most iconic villain of all comic books, and my personal favorite. Too bad these obscure, throwaway characters like Joker, Harley Quinn, and CaptainBoomerang are taking away his screen time.

    Poe Dameron, that is spectacular! I am very excited to see the end result; I don't mind waiting so no rush at all. Thanks again for taking the time to make the decal. I have a {good} feeling about this!

    Gargoyle

    Finally, an adult gargoyle! The wings look nice. It's ok that they can't move, it is a statue after all . Slough one critique I have is that the legs and shield look kind of plain compared to the torso and head, but I'm sure it's difficult to find good statue pieces.

    [MOC] Cloud City

    Wow! This looks amazing, especially against that background. I don't think that there is a way to make those ships recognizeable at this scale, Unless forced perspective is used.

    I would prefer TESB green. If it is an easy recolor to go to red that would be amazing as well. Thank you so much for attempting my request!

    Falcon's face and wings look great! Angry Chris Pratt face suits Winter Soldier OK, but he'll have to be always angry and Star-lord always happy :/

    Star Wars

    One other problem I had with the movie was the X wing pilots. In Star Wars, most pilots have something memorable about them (Red Leader, Wedge, Porkins, "Stay on Target" guy) but I think TFA went the Phantom Menace route, where where pilots look diverse (woman, alien) but lack enough screen time to have personality.

    The fig that looks like Dengar... Is definitely not the same in the set image.... Could it be Dengar in an alternate outfit? I would be fine with that. The other character is probably a stripper, seeing as the set name is XXX.

    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    Hmm... I really hope that is not Dengar.... I don't want the SSD to be reduced to only 2 exclusive parts. Also are you all sure it's Ahsoka in the TIE set? Looks like Sabine is used in the bottom line-up, and I can't read the name.

    Decal Wish List

    Hey all, I have a fun request. UCS Slave 1 is out of reach for me and I was hoping for Carbon Freezing Chamber Boba Fett to have arm printing, but he does not. Is anyone willing to attempt to make a decal for Boba's arm-gun, or, if you feel very ambitious, both his arms? All I want is the gun, anything else is appreciated even more! Thank you.

    I can't make out the name. Is this set "encounter on Jakku" or is that a different one?

    LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

    No, I disagree. Zev is a minor character that most kids will see as "rebel pilot." Yoda is a set-seller. Lego needs Yoda in the spider droid set to be "exclusive," or else the set will be almost completely undesireable.

    Is this just a guess, or was 66 Catwoman confirmed?
