Lt. Veers

I must admit, I hadn't been liking Season 2 very much, but Mandalore Plot may change that. I thought it was a good episode, even though it screwed up everything we know about Mandalorians. The lightsaber fight at the end was definately one of the better ones in the show. It's simple; George Lucas isn't the only contributer to Star Wars canon. Many authors, namebly Karen Traviss, have developed a rich culture, deep history, and an entire language for Mandalorians. Now, over the course of only 22 minutes, that has all gone into dispute.

I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing a Mandalorian battle pack, as then I could get the new helmats and jetpacks in different colors, and for a cheaper price.

That is actually a really good idea, if that were included with the set, it might convince me to buy it.

It's most likely the same as the kind from the ARC-170, as Lego is probably including it so that fans can have a third clone pilot that they can put in their ARC-170 to replace Kit Fisto.

I'm having mixed feelings about Greivous' Fighter. The front looks okay, but the cockpit looks way too big, and the new canopy is boxy and ugly. The new Greivous looks nice, but the Medical Droid seems bulkier than it should be. And what's up with that missile? It looks just plain wierd. Nadar Vebb is a nice touch, but I fear it will give Lego an excuse to increase the price.

I think the best way to make a ship fit into Star Wars, it should try to mimic the general style and colors of each faction's ships. Most large Republic ships are triangular, and are usually colored grey and red, with occasional yellow accent, like the Venator Cruiser: Droid ships often have rounded edges, but the Bridge sticks out up into the air, and they are usually grey and dark blue, like this Providence Cruiser: Imperial ships and Rebel ships are both just grey, but Imperial ships follow a triangular pattern, like the Imperial I Destroyer: However, Rebels usually have more rugged, and older looking ships, like the Nebulon B: I hope that I've helped you get the general feel of how different ships are designed, and I wish you best of luck with your project.

This is probably a manufacturing error. From time to time, Lego may accidentally put extra parts in sets that wouldn't otherwise be there. I recall that EB member Exobuilder once found a horse in an Exo-Force set. EDIT: Whoops, I put "and" in instead of "an".

I wasn't arguing against the inclusion of Zev, I agree that he is the best pilot for the Snowspeeder in this case, I was arguing against including the snowspeeder. Although, you do make a point about it and Echo Base.

I may be the only one who thinks this, but I'm somewhat disapointed with how the Wampa Attack was executed. I'm not disapointed that Zev Senesca was included as the Snowspeeder Pilot, but rather with the fact that the Snowspeeder was included at all. It adds about $20 to the price, and it's inclusion doesn't a fit in with the "Wampa Attack" theme. I would have preferred that the Snowspeeder be put in a new set, along with a turret and marketed at a $24.99 price point, allowing the Wampa cave to be a different set, with a Taun-Taun, and to be marketed at the same $24.99 price point. Does anyone agree with me, or am I alone here?

I would have to say that my favorite mechanism is the wing opening mechanism on the latest X-Wing. Sure, it's simple, but it does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does it relatively well. Another nominee would be the V-19 wing mechanism, but since its inclusion is probably what caused that set to be so unreasonably big, it wasn't my top pick.

You make a fair point, I was just putting an idea out there. I suppose we'll learn the truth in a month or two.

A few weeks ago, I went to Toys R' Us. I was glad to see that they had most of the 2010 sets, but then I saw that their prices were inflated. The battle packs costed $16.99, the Freeco and Tri-fighter were $34.99, the TIE Defender was $59.99, and the ARC-170 was $74.99. Did anyone else experience this? Is it just a pre-Christmas price hike, or something permanent?

I was thinking about the Imperial Shuttle, and I got an idea - is it at all possible that there would be a Death Star style Landing pad, as opposed to an Endor one? I think it would make more sense, seeing as the one of the potential figures is an Imperial Officer.

I finally managed to get a new MOC posted. I've been wanting to build a Rebel tank for a while now, so I eventually decided to build the T1-B , because I liked the general shape of it. Needless to say, I am very happy how this turned out. On patrol: I also intend to do a few camoflauged versions soon. Hope you like it.

Unfortunatly, they are the same as the ones in RS.

All of the maps in Elite Squadron are completely new ones.

I have it for the PSP.

It costs $29.99/£24.99/EUR 39,99.

I have it, and I think it's okay. I found it very similar to Renegade Squadron, except with different maps and the ability to shift between land and space. The weapons and equipment are the same, exept fo the Electrostaff and the Force Pike, which are both melee weapons. I could go on for a while, but I'll summarize with a Pro/Con: Pros: - Going from land to space - Heroes vs. Villains mode (Like Mos Eisley Assault in BFII) - Melee Weapons for regualar soldiers - New Galactic Conquest mode, with most of the good features from previous Battlefront games. - Overall, the maps are better than in RS Cons: - Cutscenes while going between land/space and space/capital ship - No bombers or interceptors, but Hero vehicles are very similar to interceptors - Many customizations must be unlocked by getting an award of completing a campaign mission. If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think that the Mystery Mandolorian resembles Ghez Hokan from the Republic Commando novels. This dosen't fit in too well with canon, though, so I may be wrong. (Although, CW dosent fit in with the canon too well either.)

Alright, here we go- 10. Tantive IV Rebel Trooper 9. Snowtrooper 8. Shadowtrooper 7. CW Mace Windu 6. Clone Walker Pilot (The one that came with 7250-Clone Scout Walker) 5. Zam Wessel 4. Bib Fortuna 3. Lobot 2. Darth Maul (Overdramatic Drumroll) 1. Death Star Trooper What, too anticlimactic for ya?

I just watched it in IMAX a few hours ago. I must admit, it was better than I expected. I felt that the plot "time travel" plot device worked worked very well here, seeing as most other time travel flicks are somewhat lame. I liked how Nero was a new type of villain (Vengeful miner), rather than the average Klingon dude or omnipotent Q-like being that you'd typically find in a Star Trek movie. Even though this did seriously twist up Star Trek canon, I found it very enjoyable. By the way, did anyone notice R2-D2 in the film? I heard he was supposed to be placed in as an easter egg, but I didn't see him throughout the whole movie.

Not really, Lego has only made the Endor version of the AT-ST. Nice MOC, by the way.

Well excuuuuusssssseeeee me for having my own opinions! And if you look even closer, you'll clearly see Luke Skywalker printed. Also, the face/hair are of the same kind that are in the UCS Falcon and Death Star.

True. Very true. But I'm allowed to hope, aren't I?
