I think you might be on to something; maybe the reason I love the PT is their is so much more, little bits of the story that I still notice/uncover whenever I watch the movies. You see, one could never truly master every little thing in RotS. But in the OT the story is simpler(And great all the same). Maybe thats why CW fans, are often PT fans as well. You can explore so much more. Theres more to come, episode guides to read, little things to notice. That might be why OT fans like OT, they have complete closure. RotS didn't honestly make sense to me until I started watching it with the mind-set of uncovering new story elements, and I probably still haven't mastered the story. Everything has its purpose; you see some people just skim over the tall guys in red robes being escorted by the white and orange guys(212 Clones), when this really was the emperors first movement against all non-human species. Every little thing has a greater meaning. Good observations, Legonater

Me too

You bump something thats like a year old, to have Cavegod put together an Lfx for you and give you a part count? Just for you?

And thats what I was pretty much referring to in my post, Anikans development mainly happened when he returned from the sieges to rescue Palpatine, and is consequently developed the most in Sith alone. And there also is the fact that Anikans story stretches from TPM, to Jedi. I think I know what you mean in good movie making/Bad movie making, your talking about the acting/on-screen coarse of events itself, correct? I think if Rots had the acting of the OT, the writing of ESB, and all of the new elements it brought into SW, it would easily be the best. Remember that we all have certain things that click with us for SW, I love the OT, it's fantastic. But I personally prefer RotS. Respectfully, of coarse. I'm not saying the OT had bad directing, I'm just saying its not my absolute favorite part of SW.

Why did you edit your reply into my post? There are ways to get guns onto models of this scale. Look at legosteins minis.

When you except parts you agree to become the next 'giver' Put up a picture of some parts you don't want, or need. Somebody will then say he wants the parts, and then that person will become the giver. Shouldn't a Mod pin this?

I think the force unleashed story-line is just to make it sell, star wars fans want to learn the story-Gamers will enjoy it too.

The one in RotS was meant for Gunray himself, but because the Seps needed it in the invasion, grievous took it over. Neimodian officers were assigned to the bridge. I'm guessing thats why the RotS one is black. This one is a warship.

You 600th was a positive remark about the PT, whats going on!? Read my extended post, Churchill. I know that development doesn't meet the eye at first. But keep in mind a Sith such as Sidious, is treacherous, and smart. He has developed, his development is like old-republec stuff. However Anikan and Padmes developed plenty, as did Obis and Anikans.

I honestly prefer Rots on a number of levels-Its more than just the Cgi, massive battles, and story. Its really the potential for lego MOCing, and little details that I love about it. Every time I watch that movie I observe something new, something with a second or less of screen-time. Like a glimpse of luminara, or the landed Venator behind the battle of Kashyyk. The movie starts with a lone Venator, two Howling Eta-2s, and a yellow sun. There is a level of symbolism in Rots, like OBi and Anikan flying wingtip to wingtip into battle to assault Grievous. Why is grievous mechanical? Because thats what the entire droid army is, mechanics, no clone Valor, or bravery. Dooku is killed in the opening scene, why? Lucas needed to display Anikans power, and urge for vengeance against Dooku. Also Lucas needed to show how easily manipulated Anikan was by sidious(Yes Palpatine is a politician, Sidious was the one who manipulated Anikan. I don't think those 'Red Letter Media' Guys really get what the point of sidious leading both sides was. The point of the war was merely to destroy the Jedi, establish an empire, and make Anikan a Sith. Sidious had to have the war for numerous reasons such as: -To maintain Power over various worlds to make sure that the transition from the Galactic senate, to imperial senate was smooth -To destroy the jedi. -Very little known fact: The outer rim sieges were all part of the elaborate plan to draw the republic to the outer rim, then strike to kidnap Palpatine. The real point was so palpie could see him in action. -To establish power over the senate. The Red Letter reviews are so primitive that they didn't pay attention to the real story in RotS. Why so much time on Coruscant? We needed to see how the chancellor worked his way into the Council, using Anikan as a his Eyes/Ears. We also need to establish how much Anikans relationship with Padme has effected him in his focus on restoring piece-Shes a distraction from the jedi in him. When the 41st is deployed to Kashyyk we get our first instinct of how thin the jedi are being spread by the war, Yada, a senior member of the council is forced to lead a battalion of clones and defend a somewhat helpless species(The droids would have had certain victory fighting lone wookies). Obi-Wan is another part of Sidious' plan, without Obi-Wan , and without Yoda, Anikan is left with little guidance. Slowly using Anikans emotions against him and using legends of Sith to unite him with the Sith. It's critical that these scenes were included to show how lost Anikan was at this point. We had to see him grow into Vader, otherwise it's a sloppy transition. Sidious knows Anikan won't kill him on site; he would inform the council. Windu being killed first a good decision on Lucas' part, hes sort of the all powerful pillar under the jedi order, and temple. If he is killed the only place the order can go is down. In addition to all this complexity Lucas shows how worlds are effected. Like Utapau, for example, after Order 66 the Pau'ns are arrested and taken away by Codys' men. The next thing I'd like to adress is Order 66, beautifully done, and I mean beautifully done One of the best scenes in SW if you ask me (Up their with lukes vision of Ben In Anh, telling him to use his instincts, AotC Gunships/Clone Army arrival, and RotJs Death star explosion ). After the AT-TE guns down Obi-wans Lizard, Boga, between its Cry's as it plummets into the water, the music changes and the order crumbles. It was done sooooo well. When Padme flies to Mustafar, and Anikan chokes her for not joining him seals the deals-He is Sith. "You are lost Anikan" (I think I recall using that word earlier eh?). If you recall at the start of the movie Anikan risks his own life for Obi, but now he defies him and dismisses him as an enemy, character development(The reason Anikan speant the movie with Sidious). Dealing in an 'Absolute' as Obi says. This duel is a great one-The lava makes the scene all the more fantastical. So after explaining the movie, I think I can conclude that the red letter reviewer needs to invest a bit of time thinking about the movie itself, and not making it as humorous as possible ( :laugh: ). I'm not putting down the OT in any way, and I'm not saying all the acting was great either, but I am saying that behind the Cgi, occasional poor acting, and writing, thats a pretty damn good movie. Give it a chance next time 'round, and don't dismiss it as 'PT' and walk away.

I'll give you guys that-AotC was horrendous: "Ohhhhh Anny protect me anny, ohhhh, protect me from Zam weasel" "It's not the jedi way" "Ohhh Anny" "Ok fine" :sing: It's like glee, star wars, sappy spanish soap, in a big ball of boringness.

Are you calling the MOC itself that? Eh, with the pics angels, I cant even tell whats the front and the back. I don't really know what your going for here..if its 'luxurious' I would make it sleek, studless, smooth. Not blocky, and stud-filled. Why not just mod it to make it a V-19 mini? It would be a little more impressive...

Most people don't put felt pens to their legos.....like me. Not bad, I feel like more could be done at this size. Details, Tiles, Backstory( ).

So....who will you take on next? Surely you need another competitor...

Why is everyone under the impression that the fig will be destroyed? An off-site tutorial showed that if you are considerate enough to the fig, and patient, it will be fine. Yes if stick it in a 500 degree oven its gonna get destroyed, but dipping it in hot water, leaving it there, and Bricklinking some new legs is the way to go

TLG stated at one point that they wanted to remain conservative with all their products, nothing offensive, affiliated, or political would be included in the sets. With that being said, they could include a building with Gothic architecture of sorts-which I'm guessing they'd be cool with. As others have stated, and TLG has listened , civilian sets are great! Anything civilian based is fine by me. I'm really hoping for a return of the forestmen faction, and non-exclusive BPs.

Yeah-All of it is explained in the prelude as well. The saga doesn't need TPM, but I quite liked it all the same. I think its a nice addition to the SW universe, and keep in mind its all personal opinion.

Strange, Fallenangel went soft on you, all the same, I'll adress what he didn't Here is a good Reference, from ESB. If you look at that screen capture you'll see that the biggest flaw is the wing trajectory, they should look fatter. At the back the wings should come out a little, and then their should be a gap between the engines, and the wings. You've got a reference to that, but theirs no real gap. Removing that Jumper should do the trick. I think the whole model might be too big(Looking at the reference pic I linked). You can look at the nose and see thet its considerably shorter than what you've portrayed it as. Like Fallen said, The guns need a little work. The top of the cockpit has a Black-Trans that is 2 bricks tall, and 2 studs wide; You probably want 1 1x2 brick Bley, and one Trans black. The wings may be a bit 'Busy' as well. They Also may need some proportional work. Anyways good luck improving upon this model, can't wait to see where you go with it.

It's the same ship class as the Invisible Hand, This one is non-Neimodian though, while the one grievous flew was. This looks good! I like the shaping and design, the only thing I might recommend is some less yellowed bricks, It would enhance the model as a whole.

Wow lots of MOCs these days. Not bad, although the back looks funny because it comes in way to much, and the hangar bay is relatively over sized. Will we see it in the bricks?

Am I the only one who thinks this is one of TLGs best Minis yet? It's so fantastic! I may make some ARC-170 minis for a display with theses

It was a January release. But no availability talk here people!

Baggh no availability talk here!

The one from the middle gun Housing, to the plate-thick wings.

I know what your saying their-I have to say BrickDoctors really takes the cake out of the three you mentioned, I'm a sucker for SNOT. By the way How'd you do that transition from plates, to SNOT?
