Palin Jax

Has anyone noticed that the ion cannon is a bubble? Can you say 2 yellow pilots and an astromech droid to boot. Also, with the rear of this "republic" era Y-wing, it might be possible to adapt a rather large compartment back there, since the primary engines are contained on the sides. Come to think of it, it is so appropriate that this ship is trimmed in yellow! I can't wait to see what additional information we will get on this craft, but in the mean time, I think we all need to come to grips that CW is a "bridge" so allot of the vehicle that will come out of it must now blend the PT to the OT... making it the Saga! This entails that all these craft will resemble other craft we already have in our respective fleets, however, we must treat each as unique... Believe me... it has been a constant struggle for me not to rip down all my TIE's and make them uniform.

Naysayer be warned! Rex... is 501st! (at least my spin)... He personally serves under Darth Vad... I mean Anakin, looks good in blue the clips and the pics we already have... and, I think... nay know, Lucas is a 501st fan!!! What better endorsement must be made! And believe me, Lt Veers, I know you approve, and I am glad for you stern words to not getting our hopes up. I but I whole heartedly disagree, with all do respect, that this is a No brainier for Lego. People will by bp's no matter what in them, I would just like to influence there choices with my desires by make some good old noise! ***Official Endorsements: 70*** (I felt inspired to add George by proxy... If George would like to be removed, I would simply exploded to get a letter sign by the Inspiration behind the Saga of our Times!!!)

{General Windu and Commander Jax arrive at the interrogation facilities on Bakaru.} Commander Jax to General Windu: Sir... We must establish contact with the Admiral... There could be Rebel forces enroute... Holonet Imperial News Broadcast: And, in other news, Report of dissidents protesting recent findings of "wookie" byproducts in Yub Yub Burgers food chains across the Galaxy. Imperial Citizens, outrages at the gross animal cruelty, began taking to the main thoroughfares and began protesting! Squadrons of Stormtroopers where dispatched from many permanent garrisons to... relax the concerns of the outraged denizens. A spokesman from Yub Yub Corporation had this to say. "We here at Yub Yub, take great concern in assuring only the finest animal meat products go into our detest... I mean delectable burgers. Many people equate "wookie" rights into the whole equation... but are sadly confused. Sure, Wookies make good slaves and even wonderful pets, but we all have seen what a angry wookie is capable of. We assure the masses that we take great pride in our animal breeding facilities, treating each wookies as if it might even posses a mind of it's own. And just look at the lovely fur rug you are standing on! Why, doesn't it scream animal lover!" Many taken aback, would be activist have now sided with Yub Yub INC, and have expressed there thanks as to the care, large pens, and wonderful pet food given to the breeding wookies! So.. Yub Yub on! Father Papaltine loves a Yub Yub... Yub, Yub... The red meat with a growl... Yub Yub... It's whats for dinner! (Now... that is a cause worth fight for...)

Can I get a YUB, YUB... Support in da house!!! Vader_son: Thank you for your assurances, and although I would like to see your Commander in upcoming set Idea... Thinking REX... I still would like the extra pieces in the Bp so you could make the Commander... No special markings please... But that way you could also have a little more choice/ adaptability within the bp. yellost: I wouldn't count it nitpicking... but hey... then that would be nitpicking... but great points besides... simonjedi: Ahy... glad to be a pointer? Thanks for your support! ***Official Endorsements: 69*** (the author does not endorse any perverted ideas you older guy's might derive from said number of endorsements *sadnew* *wink* *devil* unless you are talking a camaro... *laugh* but hey... it's all in good fun, right?)

{Jax looks up into the glossy black depths of *vader* dark red eye covers} Jax to *vader* ; This too, a reward... I will not rest until all of the insurrectionist swine have paid for every precious drop of blood spilled by the loyal denizens of the Empire! Though I will grant the chance to recant, and join the ranks of our glorious Empire, it will be in the full knowledge of the mercy you have spared me by, and they too shall work "harder" to end this destructive conflict, and bring order to the Galaxy! And now, my Lord... I wish to grant you a gift... One I feared might have fallen into the hands of the advicaries... I present to you... the TIE SHARD {TIE/advr, Stealth Hyper Advanced Reflec Drive}) (still working on it, as I need a few more parts, mainly technic, but a modified TIE Advance coated in reflec, with my TIE RUMOR sphere!) It shall serve you well... of that I am sure. Commander Jax to General Windu: In light of the circumstances... I do believe we have a prisoner left to interrogate. Shall we proceed to Bakaru, Sir? (Mace, TK, I gotta go to work... you know, a bills thing... a toll is a toll and a roll is a roll... So if you and TK would like, just play me as a bit of a good cop guy...)

{Arrives with General Windu, and follows Commander Gree into Lord *vader* meditation chamber. Waits before the mediation pod. When the pod begins to open, Palin kneels, staring at the cold steel decks with unambiguous resolve, awaiting his execution.} Lord *vader* , I have failed you. (delivered as Obi Wan did to Anakin) I allowed a ship of the Empire to be boarded, secrets to be left unguarded and compromised, then failed to catch the perpetrators. I have also been unable to catch the Rebel swine responsible for the destruction of the Royal Imperial Academy and the atrocities at Carida. I failed to ascertain the location of the Hidden Rebel base. I would have fallen on my sword but it were for General Windu. Now, I fail you yet again by this useless gesture that distracts your valuable attention away from this glorious Battle station. My life, as it has always ever been, is now in your hands. I resign my fate to your discretion!

Welcome... back, to the club that is... Eurobricks!

Holy... Wow... (gets back in chair) Man, that came outta left field! Lovely... Magnificent! General Grievous Way ON!!!

So, there will be some secrets revealed when the fall wave is unfereled... Interesting... Do you know then if any of our... Australian Spies >:-) managed to gain any insight? *quick edit* But I should add this cavait... That if any of our... fellow enthusiasts where to have ascertained any new insights, that same said information/ revelation would have already been posted here...

CC007, truly a work of art. I love the rebel clone motif. Ex specially the loyalty aspect... Very solid concept!

Did anybody there see any sign of boxes, for that matter? In the pics, I sure didn't, and in previous years, since it IS a Toy Show, they have always featured them quite prominently!

Argh, ok, but all of my brothers, in the 501st, are Mandalorian, atleast by birth if not by culture... like from that game, or the books you like... Just needed a little extra something in that post, and it just popped into my head. Won't happen again! :-$ Well.... >:-)

Palin Jax to General Windu: Sir, I do not deserve to address this group of warrior hero's. I only hope that they will learn from my mistakes, and hold true and fast to the greatness that is the Empire. I would hope that as they draw in each breath, they now that their superior officers guards each exhale as though it where their own. Think kindly of me, and... if by chance I may be of some use one day to the Empire, I will gladly take it. Even the role of a mere janitor should be an honor. Live long and true, my brothers, Vode An! (whispers to Case) I have already spoken my goodbyes to the Captain, Sir! {Is lead away in handcuffs}

ha.. We just had a blizzard up here today! Looks like snows back on the menu boys!

sorry for the double post!

Ah... wouldn't it be a hoot if The Force Unleashed ties into the Live action series? I see mega potential if the storyline can deliver as good as KOTOR, of which I am highly doubious... the case being that I hold KOTOR I in such high esteem. But as to the crux of your initial post, I add my doubts to other games getting this treatment, unless those said games inspire their own movie. Case in point... Halo. But I also share the voiced concerns of the others with the number of open licenses Lego now has. Each time a Batman or Speed racer set gets sold... The parent license company then cuts into Lego's profit...

The answer to your question is no... and it is not so much that I failed as much as this is again the proper way any noble officer would act. You know... Like your fascination with the big bad arses this side of 'verse, I really dig Imperial Officers. I think that the books give them a bad name... just a bunch of whinny thieving opertunists... But the way I see it, most of those officers where just there doing their best to protect the only life they knew. Some may have actually been evil, but it's like the whole Stormtroopers-are-evil debate, and certainly one could add the now Clone troopers as well. I think everyone still liked what little we saw of Cody, even after he turned on Obi Wan. Also, it shows the improbability of safely landing on what is essentially a giant plastasteel fortress, get what the mission was, then safely getting back out again really entails. The Commanding Officers court marshal. Although technically a Captain outranks a Commander... I know... hence the little aside ;-)

It means just that. If I am going to hold anyone else accountable for posting unfairly, then I must start with myself. In reality, Star Wars anyway, if the commanding officer of a vessel allowed the kinds of mistakes that would allow another ship to board his vessel, they would be killed... certainly at least quart-marshaled or at the minimum demoted. I have played Jax to the effect that he is a dark Paladin, hence, I must always follow the rules. Hell, I even showed disrespect to a senior officer. Just for everyones knowledge, I served in the Navy, so I am not making all of this stuff up. Not that I equate the US Navy to any Empire... I would take strong offense to that! So, frankly speaking, I am, in a sense reacting the ways properly transcribe for a any noble Imperial Officer, akin to Pelleaon, Veers, Jerijorod, Needa, or Piett would, by taking responsibility for my actions, or lack there of, in the hopes, in character, that that would inspire my officers to become better... even in the event and expense of my own demise... Now, I am hope like hell that *vader* won't actually act like Vader, but according to my own argument, I am, from Jax's perspecive... at the mercy of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Lord *vader*... I hope you ARE more forgiving than the Emperor was!

Excellent! The rave endorsements keep coming in! ***Official Endorsements: 66*** Now, hopefully Lego will execute!

Well then, since this has been clarified... 1 Dooku speeder 1 Lars family speeder 2 Darth Maul Speeders 6 STAP's and I picked up another Clonie Bp! Clone Troopers on!

{Jax leaves stateroom}: To General Windu: Thanks again sir... My crew needed to verify, by my standards... in triplicate, that no Classified information had been compromised. Other than that which was taken by Lord Slyp... all data is safe and accounted for. I would like to thank you on behalf of the 501st legion by recognizing you as an honorary Officer in the 501st legion. (I know, not much of an honor, but you get a nice prize basket filled with fruit *sing* ). Still, whomever was piloting the first craft, the Jedi Star fighter, is still onboard. I have double guarded all encryption codes so that no one except an uber-cyber geek could ever possibly dream of breaking their encryptions, so we're still safe for the moment. But Event Horizon is still compromised by his presences, therefore, we must still maintain a heightened level of alert. I am now ready to submit to dereliction of duty proceedings due to the fact that I have compromise the integrity of not only this vessel and her crew... but the personal honor of Lord Vader. I am placing myself under arrest in your custody until my hearing can be set. I must not expect special treatment simply because I am an Officer. I will live by the same standards I set for my own crew.

Jax to Inertia: Welcome aboard! Take command of this pod of 501st shadow troopers, and make fast down to the detention cell. I need a good sweep of the area to see if any other Rebel infiltrators are still onboard. I must see to some... sensitive matters... with my Captain here. Good Luck, Sgt. Inertia!

Wait a minute... what do you mean... they have no hair... You mean... we have all been having those wild fantasy with Twi'leks dancing girls... and their... bald... :'-( *sing*

Jax to Inertia: Tis true, we got em... from that little rabbit hole he was hiding in ( >:-) ) but he has been whisked away to a secret, high security location until we can arrange for his safe transfer to Bakura. We suspect that his supports might be even now monitoring this transmission, but we have the utmost confidence that Imperial Scouts will not be able to escape from Bakura! Have you been in contacted with VBBN or Goggleson? We still have a small situation on Horizon... If you make it here quick, you might be able to get in on the action.

Bought me a Clonie BP... Ya, thats right... That makes 5!
