Palin Jax

Commander to Lord : As you wish, Mi Lord. I have received contact from Sgt. Inertia that he is ready for just this type of assignment. But I do now concede a reluctance to allow Lt IS to much freedom out of our sight. Therefore, we have increased the lethalness of his collar that so only you, and you alone will be able to remove it through the force. Commander to Lt Scouts: The droid named Polis Massa as the location. But now, Lt. Scouts, you have lost the only way we could process you without these... cruel restrictions. I am aslo afraid that you will pilot only a Theta Class shuttle, howbeit reflec coated, to the said location. If you do well, and I believe it within you, you may have a chance for a more rapid premtion for you. I for one, do not wish his humilation on you, so please, kindly submit to your colar... Commander to Sgt. Inertia: Excellent work. Gear up, gentleman, meet us with Event Horizon. Admiral TK and General Casewindu, once they have decided... may or may not accompany us. Either way... You have showed tremendous patients with working with the 501st Shadow corps. Once all this is settle, will once again have to look to your transference to the 501st... I am in need of a capable wing commander air group... or CAG Also, I hope to get you some leave of your won... but we will pick up some Yub Yub Grub through the drive through!

Jax to Admiral: If I have been able to glean any knowledge or insight above and beyond any normal senior clone commanders, it has been being in the presence of incredibly gifted Senior officers whom probably have forgotten more than I could ever ascertain. I only hope Lord will respond positively to this option. My informants have also reaffirmed that the Rebellion is moving quickly in this power struggle. Now (address Imperial Scouts) I do not beholden you to anything but a brave soul, but would it please you to know just how quickly your Rebel friends abandon you. Already had you funeral service they have... Allot of promotions to go around. This would become your chance to take righteous anger on your so called brothers... A very noble thing, I might add.. not revenge... but vengeance!

Very nice and clean modification. You know, and I don't confess this lightly, but the one think I really don't like about some Lego ships, and also including this one, is the apparently lack of airtightness... Now I know in many time and many ways that this has been discussed, but I really like the fact you went that extra mile. Also, for the life of me, I can not grasp the logic of a ship that size, with only one person, and pilot, to fit in their. Good job Knightsword!

I than would be a cross betwixt Moff Jerjerrod and Admiral Piett... You know, the nice guys! ( ) The name Palin is an abbreviation of "Paladin". I arrived at the Jax because the obvious J factor combined with...( )I was madly infatuated with Jadzia Dax, played by Terry Farrell ... I confess, at that time I was very heavy into AD&D, and did not yet know of Cannor Jax. And now you know... the rest of the story....

Well then, congratulations, Knight . But, if I may, why would you not want Lego to make any other sets from The Force Unleashed if... 1). None of us have any idea what new vehicles may be contained in the game? 2). None of us knows truly the coolness factor of said characters in the game? 3). None of us know the effect TFU may have on the canonocity of Star Wars 4). And I concede, this should have be number 1, but for dramatic liberties( )... No one has even really played and beaten the friggen thing (outside the designers who may be adding or deleting things as we make our posts!) Now, I mean not to pick on you, but I ask, politely, why would you then make a post like the one you did then? Vader_son: Tis truly an unbiased argument you make, and I therefore concede your correctness, albeit trepidaciously seeing as is the vast vacuum of intellectual integrity, which is a wiki . Well played, son.

Commander Jax to Admiral TK: Sir, I do not doubt his sincerity. Think on it in this wise. If he where to go traitor on us, he would be left very little room to run too, as he will have given us the location of the Hidden Rebel base, or rather, merely confirmed what we already know. If he fails to give the proper location, he will forfeit his life. But if he does, he will never be able to go back... The propaganda machine will spin this through out the Galaxy. It will force the Rebels into deeper hiding, and along with them the openly seditious senators, or it will draw them out into the open for the final battle. Either way, we win. Lord Vader will be most pleased. And no one can doubt his prowess with command, as we have... undoubtedly felt first hand with his embarrassing victories. No Admiral, He has no choice left to him now... But if you like, we could always ask Lord Vader to personally give us His blessing on this. Jax to Imperial Scouts: You must understand the dilemma this now puts us in. We KNOW the location, you will merely be confirming this... I warn you... Failure is not an option... When you deal with the Devil, the devil is in the details... And either way, you'll end up in the fire in the end. I believe you to be a man of honor, so you will only be asked this one time. You may wait for the Admiral, or Lord Vader himself, via holonet of course, from an undisclosed location no where near any super weapons...( )

Ahhh yes, I do remember. But my findings were never substantiated to the masses ... so to speak. I think that these finding only reiterate my point. I shall now bathe in the vain glory of immortal greatness.... Nay... just kidding, but it does make a great point to my earlier hypothesis. It's gotta be the Twilight. And... It will look darn nice sitting next to the Rogue Shadow, in my opinion, though technically, at this point, Anakin is still "good" . (sorry, I'm rather slow, and this my only ever be my one chance to have an I told you so moment, hences the first line... I am not vain... really, I am not )

Commander Jax: {Smiles outwardly, not menacing, but truly thoughtfully. Inwardly, knowing the difficult struggles waging battle within Imperial Scouts, only hopes this to be genuine.} But then again, dear Scouts, it is indeed impossible to resist... the awesome power... of the dark side... (Of a Yub Yub Burger...( )) Commander of the Imperial Forces at Bakaru: Admiral TK, our network of spies have received a rather odd communique. Imperial Intelligence, aware of your location here, have alert me to report these findings to you! It appears that the Insurrectionist forces have selected a new leader... And are assuming as fact the reported our Imperial spin doctors have delivered to the masses. Jax: (talks briefly with a member of the 501st shadow fist, whom departs after making his report) Admiral, General Windu, my sources also indicate that a mass exodus of Rebel forces my 501st assets have been tracking have begun to return to only one secured location. A location only two people are aware of in this room that would be of great significance to the Rebellion. Would you like to inform us of that location, dear Scouts... Or should we just end the whole charade and prepare for your imminent demise.

Can I ask, politely, where do you get this information?

Did you all notice the first ship in the Trailer. Behold, I present to you, for your consideration, the Twilight...

Hmmm... Interest hypothesis. I did not consider the Darth Plagueis the Wise tangent exclusively, I was thinking that Shmi may have had another son possibly before Ani who was lost. And no, I don't think he would be able to overthrow Vader, because in the game, all of the Characters have the over the top force powers. Vader would always be at an advantage because he is the "chosen one". As to missing body parts... the exaggeration of the arms is unnecessary in order to preform force feats. It's merely a channel. But yes, it may be a son... It's just a matter of age then, because we know that there are still Jedi to hunt down, Vader may be new "to the machine", and he was also deeply in love with Padme even before he was married to her. Only time will tell, but I sure am suspicious when that game was supposed to be out now, and has been pushed back until after CW come out.

Did anyone catch the Spike TV Game preview... I would just like to state, for the record... and I am only guessing, Anakin has either a brother, or ... another son... They where dropping hints about who the two Jedi parents of the Secret Apprentice where, and the "S" letter got thrown out. I think the Force Unleashed is going to rewrite Star Wars Canon. Big time!

WHAT? Star Wars: Live Action series... coming out in 09, but it may get pushed back until 2010. If you didn't know this... Well, it's been talked about for months now, so I hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag for you ...

But why do we expect anything OT to come out next year? I mean, sure, I love OT... But in all regards, there is very little left to expound on the OT side. Now you could argue for some OT EU type craft, like the TIE Defender, or maybe a TIE/sh (shuttle), seen ever so briefly on Empire, but in my opinion, I believe Lego will exploit the Live Action and CW lines because they will be fresh. Again, I reiterate my desire to see more OT, but tell me where we can get them. Beside, I have seen a history of negative posts on rehashed designs, or having two or more incarnations of vehicles. And when Lego has gone EU for the OT, people always begrudge them that as well. Tk, you are correct on the big ticket items, so heres my slot options for those. Spring 2009 1 @ $150 (Royal Na boo Transport) collectors set Fall 1 @ $100 (Live Action Vehicle)

Sorry Sevy... but thats one that can not happen. Well, at least under the current EU history anyway. It's, the original A-wing design, is accredited to Admiral Akbar. Unless he would have designed the precursor prior to his enslavement! Not that I am saying that I would mind it, but then again, I have the first, and now the second A-wing, and I am not sure how you could make them look any sleeker, sexier, or just plain cooler. But there is that vehicle in ep 3 that Anakin uses from the Jedi Temple to get to the Senate building... and that does have a kind of A-wing look to it! Edit, but I do like your idea!

So then, in 2009. Spring 2009 2 @ $10 (EP IIish BP(like in the CW); BD and Droideka BP) 2 @ $20 (AT like vehicle, droid carrier (12 droid plus 2 pilots)) 1 @ $40 (RE Y-wing, 2 pilots and Astromech) 1 @ $50 (Theta Class Troop Carrier with ARC troopers) Fall 2009 2 @ $10 (501st bp (1 commander, 1 comms, 2 infantry; mixed "Divisions" Bp (one of each of the other major divisions, plus parts to make 1 a commander, head binoculars, paldrons, kama) 2 @ $20 (Basic TIE fighter(for live action), fighter for rebels (unknown) 1 @ $40 (Z-95 Headhunter) 1 @ $50 (Main Characters vehical... otherwise major revamped (and I say this with great trepidation bordering on fear) Boba Fett's Slave 1

Jax to Imperial Scout:{Sets a few Yub Yub burgers and an icy beverage on a shelf next to the Ray Shielded Barrier. Walks out of the area a bit, activate another ray shield that gains IS a bit more room, then de-activates the original ray shield allowing IS A small measure of freedom and some delicious Yub Yub burgers} Now, Commander Scouts, dine on this delectable feast capable of igniting your taste buds, ney, your very soul. I proper reward for a future Member of the Empire. (Smiles) {Sorry guys, had a nasty bit of cold yesterday... Still down but doing better... so if it sounds off a bit, sorry )

Hello all! Well, as the self describing title implies, I would like to make a formal request of Lego to make this all important Battle pack. Why, do you ask, am I doing it here, in this format, and on these boards? The answer is simple. I am firmly convinced that Eurobrick is now the leading front runner for where our voices can be heard by Lego. When we speak, I think Lego listens. They have done an outstanding job delivering what they can when we have asked for it, within reason. I believe that a 501st battlepack is a reasonable request to make. I propose a Commander, akin to Rex in the upcoming CW movie/series cartoon, a communications officer, and two regular infantry. I would like to see something rather simple for the vehicle, possible akin to an e-web blaster or possible a security checkpoint. Suffice to say to most people by bps for the figures, the choice of vehicle is rather irrelevant anyway. Any suggestion would be welcomed, but I hope this becomes a hot enough topic that Lego will not ignore. *edit* I'm Palin Jax, and I approve this message! ***Official endorsements: 60***

Hmp... I do believe you have just insulted all the rats... I mean dinner guest in your cell with you... But if you really wish, I am sure we could play "All by Myself" by Celine Dione for you... That would be almost as bad as waterboarding... Well *blush* ... maybe worse *devil* ! *laugh* (And no... *hmpf* do not take above post seriously *wink* )

I think that with Vader's pronouncement of the completion of the Death Star, we had better wrap up loose ends. One is how to get IS free... So Rebels, start "infiltrating"... This would be highly more likely, probable, and certainly more desirable to attempt a rescue, but please be crafty. I don't think blasting your way into Bakaru will work quite well!

Jax (from the corner of the interrogation room... working on his second Yub Yub burger): To Whom do you cry out, little mocking bird... Do you need a treat to sing real nice? Jax to General Windu: Sir, I do believe we have reached the "Gut" of the issue. I believe a doomed man is allowed one last meal... what say you, General?

Hmmm.... your right that it would be expensive, but nothing but Chrome would do, except, possible Metallic Silver, which would still be around the same price. Not often I get to quote such a great mind ( *hmpf_bad* *wink* ), but I whole heartedly think this would be a very meaningful addition. Now, I must fully admit, I am not the biggest "Phantom" fan, and would also concede to wanting the Jedi Temple with a whole lota 501st loven going on, but this set is markable appropriate and so very long over due. It fits the price point perfectly, and would sell really well if marketed to the big "ten-O" celebration for TPM. And who would turn down the influx of Chrome pieces into there Lego fleets. I would also like to add a queens dressing room slash wardrobe... featuring each and every costume Padme wore in TPH. I know it sounds weird... kinda of... but it would be nice so that if you wanted to recreate a scene in the movie, you wouldn't have to fudge it.

Commander Jax to General Windu: As you command Sir! Jax to Admiral TK: Sir, the General is right... I have prepare a marvelous feast to wet the appetite of even the greatest Grand Admiral... Please, relax... It will be just that much more enjoyable when we break this poor doomed soul. Jax to Imperial Scout: Oh, don't try fooling neither yourself or I. You know of which astromech I speak... You know... He's here too now... Your pet fledgling Jedi... phaw... I spit out the word. Fools... They traded the peace of a once great Republic to orchestrate their own power gambit, and yet you cling to their narrow mind views... They even dared to take the life of my beloved Emperor! I shall enjoy all the more perverting that poppet to dance on my strings. Now... back to the business at hand. And I warn you... Your time, and my patients, are beginning to wear thin! The lives of many denizens of the Empire now rest, nay hinge on your very breaths... Jax to General Windu: Sir, if you won't be needing me for a bit... Take a stab at it...

***Designated Classification: Top Secret*** TIE/shrd (Stealth Hyper Advanced Reflec Drive) TIE SHARD Commander Jax, Captain Vhrils, and High ranking Imperial Grand Admiral addressing the Shadow fist. The Heart of the SHARD. Capable of hyperspace entry, but very limited in range. Prototype engine overheats rapidly over great distances. Imperial Engineers are working to correct the problem, but cost estimate are exorbitantly high... limiting the number of production due to he fact that a SHARD will cost 4 times as much than a regular TIE/in, and twice that of a Standard RUMOR. Engineers are working on adapting the Engines increased output into a deflector sheild... Expecting this will be Phase II. Lord Vader receiving his Brand New TIE SHARD (prototype) Another shot of Lord Vader and his loyal Commander, the inventor of the SHARD, Commander Palin Jax. Due to the increased cost in production and limited advantages to keeping our pilots alive, seeing that they are expendable, it is within serious doubt that the SHARD will see full scale mass production, but Commander Jax is working on the solutions. While still incredible less expensive than a TIE ADV, It remains to be seen whether the SHARD will take hold within the Imperial Navy.

Commander Jax to Admiral TK: (in Imperial Scouts interrogation Cell) Sorry to keep you waiting...(wipes the red sauce of a Yub Yub burger from his mouth), we stopped at the drive through... Damn good service, I might add... You gotta love a Yub Yub! Would you like one Sir... I even brought one in for our guest. (takes another bite) Jax to Imperial Scout: So, now we are at the end... yet it is only our beginning! I give you now the chance to spare your life, and that of your friends. You see, dear Scouts, even now your inescapable fate is at hand. I enjoyed preparing your Iron Maiden for your stay here myself. I assure you, she shall show you no comforts. It was quite an honor, really, thinking of the great Commander of all Insurrectionist force be brought to his knees. I also enjoyed some alone time with a certain friends astromech droid... It took some coxing, but in the end, they are all just wires and circuits anyway. You see, dear friend, I have found a way for droids to experience something akin to pain. Through the beeps and chirps, I could tell it was an excruciating pain... just begging for it all to end. I let it suffer. It was only a droid you see... But, just when I thought I had pushed the little tin can to its limits... I found that it need just a bit more... Almost ready to fry, it final gave up the secret location of the Hidden Rebel Base! So now... you have nothing to lose... Verify it's location for us... And then you will be free to regain your place within the glorious ranks of the Empire! Or else... I m afraid... that you must die...
