Well the sandpeople did use rifles resembling muskets, and wookies still use crossbow resembling weapons, so i think imagination is ones only limitation. Besides star wars is in a galaxy far far away, any resemblance to our known weapons in this galaxy is merely coincidental

man, that's a lot of hate there Like all things, everything needs to move on, and the clone wars era have unfortunately trickled on. After episode VII is released, you will also see OT and PT dwindling too. its the nature of things. New and current things sell better. Lego cant simply keep up so many themes, and subthemes within the same theme.

We always have choices. We can't guarantee you like them all though

Welcome Greeble! More Cooookies for everyone

Yes, I know they are illegal , but I like to challenge boundaries in a healthy way. PB won't be wielding it in any way, but let's just say he may have been a castout or reject or family black sheep, somewhere along those lines. Doesn't stop him from wanting in though :) or perhaps its those meddlesome Rebels made him this way ... we never know. I always liked the grittier darker story telling, but that's me. Chirpy aren't my thing, otherwise I would have preferred Star Trek.

I'm likely going with a lightsaber hilt or rifle. Funny thing is I have a freebuild halfway going (waiting on parts now) that was going to provide an origin current story to my character and a bit of a flashback to how it began. However, the current state I was doing is already on something like 24 x 24 size and maybe bigger because it is on the Avenger or Intolerance itself, and the flashback(s) was much smaller on 16x16, because I intended to do multiple flashbacks to tell of how PB got to where he is now, all scarred, merciless and rebel-hating. Anyway, will have to tweak to see how it goes. I might continue to use the big one as freebuild, and then lead onto the competition.

Nice! Back in Action!

At the Empire, we determine everyone's point of view.

In most mmo games, i tend to play the not so good side, because generally the players are more mature there on average. While I agree on your assessment, i find the empire in SoNE under-represented and yet to challenge boundaries. Primary reason why I joined the imps. Like most games, most people join the good side which has the natural tenedency to win . Rules permitting, I would say yes to merc like behaviour, and borderline senseless violence in a bid to advance the empires cause, all for fun :) ... And clearly delusional ... Hehe

Is it confirmed to be a tie fighter or a tie variant? I.e. tie bomber, interceptor, advanced etc... Everyone seems to be sure its the standard tie.

Quality over quantity...guys... quality over quantity... Rebels are just jealous we have the best tag, we all know the Death Star is the best tag out there, and Rebels have more participants simply put .. whether individually and on average the Rebels' builts are better, are certainly questionable.

Welcome to the Empire! We have cookies...

All Hail the Dark Galactic Cartographer Lord of the Sith! Looking forward to the next episode ...

Boba's helmet tag is so over-rated. Everyone knows the death star tag is so much cooler. Plus rebels wearing the bb helm tag is just an imp in denial...

Not really all the time. The latest Jango Fett was in a reasonably priced set.

Thats awesome and inspiring! Really captures the overall Cantina feel for its size and population. Makes me wanna go out and buy another cantina set.. hey, whats a GOTG rocket doing there? :P

Anyone knows when episode vii is coming up?

Welcome Alijster and TLD !

Join the Imperials' cause at SoNE ! Seriously nice Diorama.. love the trees, water effect and background AC . Not feeling the original clones too much, and there are so many of them but that's me. How about a little MOC challenge over at SoNE? The Empire could use great talent like you ... Once again, Join the Imperials' cause at SoNE... (subtle brainwashing)

Some Ideas - hehe We can always tempt them to join, and as we know, temptation ALWAYS leads to the dark side... Free Stormtrooper Minifigs for defectors above 20xp rank? Free dc-15 for recruits? What about custom 2 x 2 stickers for SoNE imperials? I am toying with stickers, can't remember if you can use them in SoNe builds though. IN addition, I forgot to thank VK-318. Thanks !

I agree with the above and would gladly participate. However, i think while average score matters, I think the number of participants/submissions mattered more. In the latest episode, loose maths we had 42 submissions and I think rebels had 49-50. We were definitely more strategic. Also, Everyone has to somewhat try to submit based on their rank and improve as it goes. With higher ranks all round, I think we should be able to win next one if the format is kept. When is the next episode releasing? Its approaching the holiday season and need to plan around it ;P

Thanks MKJosha for this episode. It is well run, and I think will only seek to refine the rules for future episodes. It was a close enough win for both sides. 14 participants from Empire and 17 from Rebels. If we had just the 3 more, we may have won this over We may have a tougher road ahead since Beaver is made a regulator, so effectively the Empire is one participant less in future episodes

Congrats guys. The rebels are getting out of hand. We need more order!
