Wookieepedia says "A year after the Battle of Yavin, Cloud City was run by Baron Administrator Lando Calrissian, who had won administration of the city from Baron Administrator Dominic Raynor in aSabacc tournament." It'd be better to see him before he started acting all responsible anyway Also "Lando Calrissian acquired the Falcon in a game of sabacc on Bespinaround 5 BBY from a certain Cix Trouvee, a professional gambler who couldn't cover his debt." I'm not sure if this EU went on the chopping block, it is referenced in OT but given more detail by the EU. Hopefully we get the best of both worlds, Lando running around as a degenerate gambler and visiting Bespin, since he must have been close enough to gamble with the baron. Also, Lando would've been a teenager when Luke was born, making him not much older when Rebels takes place. Maybe we'll see his father, like in the Yoda Chronicles

The alliance... will die. As will your friends. Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!

I ran into this while avoiding work and thought it was bad megablocks, consider it an Imperial motivational video. http://youtu.be/FGl6r5tQYPM edit: lol, "megablocks" replaced some mild vulgarity

I thought that all of that was irrelevant now http://starwars.com/news/the-legendary-star-wars-expanded-universe-turns-a-new-page.html

Congrats to the Rebellion. And thank you Nom for running the episode and especially for breaking the bad news in such an entertaining way. Also, doesn't the tie go to the Alliance in Sector E since they had the best builds in the sector?

Is this a Blade Runner reference?

This might be a better picture to show the connection. There were a lot of "creative" connections made to get everything to fit together. All Lego of course, but not pretty.

Thanks for all the comments. I hope nobody was too offended by all the violence, I have a rather dark sense of humor. I think I could've done a better job making this a full 360 build and minimizing the lava so I could use my trans brick better. I'm going to stick to my guns on the swamp. I really liked the dichotomy of lava/underground lakes. I wish more builders had picked up on this detail rather than doing so much lava. We didn't even touch on the underground cities of Sullust which was disappointing. I see the inhabitants as a not-annoying version of the gunguns that probably have a pretty good quality of life away from the lava.

Are those bullet holes in the wall behind the dead storm troopers? If so, that is awesome. The layers are great. Good way to make the most of different color bricks

Very cool, funny too. I think the rifles touching the lava should be lit up in red instead of green, since they are no longer "ready to go." Beautiful work.

Third freebuild is up. I would like it to be judged please http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=94617 Thank you in advance

Tie pilot Goatm An 461 is happy to only have to fly over Nal Hutta on this trip. His sensitive slave girl is happier for it, too. I would like this freebuild to be judged during the SoNE IV episode, please.

Wow. That landing craft and the lights and the smoking turret and the lava and the rocks and the platform... I'm speechless.

That's a great way to attach "limbs" to the base

No crazy math. Just let lower XP players post more free builds. They'll get better at building and will catch up to everybody else. Judging these free builds could be farmed out to higher ranked players to keep from overwhelming the judges

I've added a second freebuild to the Star Wars forum that I would like judged. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=94569&st=0#entry1870529 Thank you in advance

Tie pilot Goatm An 461 is now on Tatooine to visit the shop of a famed engine mechanic/merchant. Stormtroopers heavily patrol this area because of the great interest in the new engine mods coming out of this shop. Maybe the Empire will just have to recruit this mechanic and secure his expertise. While on planet he decided to purchase a slave girl and a couple of cloaks to keep in the Tatooine fashion. I would like this freebuild to be judged during the SoNE IV episode, please.

Totally unbelievable. Two armed rebels killing/disarming 4 imperials? Highly unlikely considering what's going on in Sector D. Great cutaway and nice smooth/simple design. Photography is great, too. Good luck.

My thought is that if you are building prototypes you just use whatever is lying around, on Hoth that would be abandoned/damaged Rebel tech/scrap/whatever. I wanted to throw in some orange to make it look like it had snowspeeder parts, but I didn't find the right places to use it. Hopefully it's a legal build. I didn't think much of it since the Rebels got routed out of Hoth in Empire.

Tie pilot Goatm An 461 reports to Hoth to test fly a new planetary patrol fighter developed by a bored Colonel unlucky enough to be stationed there. The fighter has been loaded with a ridiculous amount of forward facing weapons. The primary purpose of the fighter is to target landing craft upon entering the atmosphere and only rarely take on targets above the stratosphere. Goatm's assessment: its a suicide fighter and he will have no interest in flying it. With the on board systems dedicated almost exclusively to those forward facing weapons, little attention was paid to the maneuverability of the fighter, thus, no defensive capabilities. If it were up to Goatm, this project would be left in the hands of the ground forces, our pilots are crazy enough as it is. I would like this freebuild to be judged during the SoNE IV episode, please.

Yes. I can post pics of the entire build if I need to

Goatman461 entry for SoNE IV: Section D - Docking Bay (Empire) On the sulfuric surface of Sullust, attempts to dislodge the AT-ST guarding the Southern quadrant docking bay door have failed. An unlucky X-Wing melts into the mountainside while the pilot counts his last breaths inside. *as mounted Deep in the mountain, Imperial snipers lay down cover fire. A B-Wing pilot has already fallen to the sniper while attempting to maneuver the volcanic rock. Our hero, Goatm An 461, comes out of his apartment to help round up the remaining Rebel forces. The other tie pilots are eager to help with the clean-up, as well. "Oh no, you prisoners got your clothes all dirty trying to escape through the underground lakes of Sullust. Lets turn around and get you a hot bath." "That last step is a doosy." "Don't worry Stormies, we've got this. Go grab a mop and clean up the mess on level 14 below." Per usual, following the executions operations continue as normal at the imperial docking bay. This specific hanger is reserved for experimental starfighters being developed by the ever-faithful SoroSuub Corporation. Currently, tie pilot Goatm An 461 is the primary test pilot for the Cutlass-9 Mod 7 starfighter. Upon entering the hanger, the starfighter is taken by a crane allowing for movement between engineering departments and redeployment to the upper reaches of the cave during attacks to avoid Rebel sabotage attempts. Slave wookies are used to remove the large, over-charged engines to be repaired and modified as needed. Also looking on is a custom G2 "Goose" droid, complements of the SoroSuub Corporation. While repairs are being worked out, our hero has some other "business" to attend to. Back to work. Lets see what this baby can do. The starfighter helping to climb the Empire to victory. Thanks for putting the contest together. I've really enjoyed the build. Negative, constructive comments are always welcome.

I've taken it apart since then and have used the parts elsewhere. I did another version that I think is better as well. You may be able to figure it out by the picture below. If you have any questions just PM me, I'd be happy to help http://rebrick.lego.com/en-US/bookmark/be-the-special-competition--7-/f82nou
