Jacob Nion

I'm not sure if I have to take photos to make clear the size of my entry. I used the full 64x64, so I could make a comparison with street plates, if the judges are in doubt.

The Edge of Cloud City While imperial troops have captured the city centre, a few civilians try to escape from the outer districts. Jacob Nion tries to pick them up, when suddenly the first storm trooper squads appear. The rooms: Overall: I'm sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. I really suck at taking photos. And I didn't have my usual camera at hand.

Aye. But I'll have to edit the pictures after work, so I will open my entry thread last minute. But have a look at the first pic:

The use of your monitor is indeed very smart. Don't know what to say- everything about your entry seems to be perfect. I created a folder with Cloud City pics for this episode and now I recognize so many details of the interior. There are nearly to much cool little details to discover and praise in one post, but I definitely have to commend the outdoor elevator, which is one of those random only for fanboys noticeable things making me smile. Wonderful entry with real Cloud City feeling.

The white floors really engender cloud city feeling. Looks like a good start. Are you planning to build a micro scale city behind the window? That would be a great addition. The tunnel is in any case a smart build. And the hand with light sabre is a brillant idea. Hope you'll have enough time to finish it.

Still enough time for a vignette or something small. Even the smallest entry is one step to free the galaxy. And I'm sure you'll have a good idea just in time.

To be sure: this means, that we can make Cloud City Free Builds still after saturday, as long as the winner isn't proclaimed? I would like to build a vignette, but I haven't the time for both free build and entry.

That's a very cool looking vignette. I love this snotted path and the simple but smart way you made the pipes on the ground. And I really like how you develop your character's story.

It's a project on cuusoo: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/24165

Well, I agree that an orange/blue combination isn't very star wars..ish. But I like your story. this black gadget beneath the door is a cool greeble. Some hoses and pipes mounted on the walls would help to starwarsify it. Hope we'll see more free builds with your character.

That's amazing. It's so detailed and elegant. Do you know how long it is in studs?

"Everything's fine, Commander. Evacuation of Cloud City is still in progress. Hope that I'll complete my mission in time."

Fantastic story. And you've really hit the industrial look of the city, as I remember from The Force Unleashed.

Thanks everyone for commenting! It was a lot of fun to literal build junk. And thanks for blogging and awarding me 5 xp!

Well, maybe it's right here: I like the sleek shape. Much more elegant than those vulgar TIE Fighters

Could you please change my player index pic? thanks

Being alone in his quarters, Jacob remembers one of the most peculiar moments of his journey. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86235

This is part II of my story. If you like, have a look at part I (link) I would like to have this one judged. Jacob's story Part II: strange meeting at the junkyard After escaping the imperial mining installation Jacob arrives at one of the countless junkyards on Nar Eurbrikka, rusty witnesses of the galaxy's industrial lavishness and technical progress. At this inhospitable place he will have a fateful encounter... "Hello there. On the run?" "Indeed. What about you? I wouldn't have guessed to find someone both organic and sentient out here." "And I didn't expect a visitor. Well, you are the first in more than twenty years. I once was called Hunter." "Jacob, pleased to meet you. You lived here alone for two decades in this garbage? The only plausible reason for this self inflicted exile would be to have the full attention of the empire." "Oh no. I don't consider myself to be that important. Unless the Empire still wants this ancient piece of scrap back." "An Alpha-3 Nimbus! Can't believe it! And it's in catastrophic condition." "Pipe down! It's not as impressive as it was. But I spent the last 20 years keeping it in good repair. Nevermind. You seem to know a thing or two of such vessels. Do you fly?" "Yes, I once was a pilot. In a former life. You were a pilot during these clone wars, right? "Right. See, I'm much like this junk around you. Produced for war, then thrown away when war was over. Now I'm weighed down by age acceleration and the poisoned air of this junkyard." "So you are maybe the last living clone! But how did you get here?" "After the fall of the Republic, most of my brothers served the Empire without a doubt. That was the only thing we knew. We were reared to be soldiers. To obey every order we may conceive. But for all that I suddenly made my decision. I ran away. Oh, and I wasn't alone at all. That's my old Astromech. My only true friend, R2-W7, but I call him Wilson." "1001001010001" "Don't feel offended, but why would you do that? Leaving everything behind and live in this junk? I thought clones were loyal." "Because I knew what freedom means, unlike most over clones. Maybe it's a thing only a pilot can understand...But for now I guess you need a ship. Wanna take my old V-Wing? You can also have my old flight suit." "And you should take Wilson with you. He has proven himself in many battles. And he's a very interesting droid to talk to." "01001001000100101" "I know, Will. I will miss you, too. But unlike me, your time hasn't come yet. I believe there's still something to do for you. Any idea where to go now?" "Not really. I think at first I'll just enjoy flying again. After all these years." "Yes, that's a funny thing to do. But you will have to choose a destination. If possible a destination that doesn't need a hyperjump. And more important, you'll have to find something that's worth flying for." "Let me guess: freedom? Fighting the Empire? Shall I crush the whole imperial fleet with your invincible oldtimer? That's pointless. I thank you very much, but I can't change the system." "Perky idiot!That's the most stupid crap I ever heard. Of course one pilot can change everything! At war, when whole armies weren't able to enforce a planet, one pilot on the right mission could turn the tide. Look: the only freedom I could claim was on this junkyard. But you could reach so much more. Even on this trashyard I heard rumours of this Rebellion. I'm sure they could need a guy like you." "*sigh* I keep it in mind. Good bye, old oddball. Thank you." "And if you ever meet a surviving Jedi...tell him that not all of us just obeyed order 66. Some were strong enough. And Wilson: I'm sorry! I'm sorry Wilson!" ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over all:

That's very cool. Thanks! And it's a good promotion for the RPG.

"Did the whole vessel became a ghost ship? This silence is a little bit creepy. I feel like lost in space. The imperial forces overrun Cloud City. Where are our troops?"

Very smart use of these Dementor legs. And an impressiv amount of this part. A cool scene. I'm glad to see some Rebel Troopers in action.

I'm curious about the imperial Gunners included in the next battle pack. Do they count as troopers or pilots? maybe some (imperial) players will wish to use it as avatar.

You're right. His/her/its story. Bothan spynet has discovered that the Empire awaits new units next year, like Gunners. We have to assemble more volunteers with the courage to face an Empire stronger than ever before.

Hannon le @ everyone! I don't know by myself what this tower is for. It is inspired by Zann Consortium's Droid Works. It's kind of funny that everyone commended the rockwork. I had to use every single dark bley slope I have, so there are different techniques. And thanks to the jugdes!

Very cool! The room fits perfect in Jabba's palace. And I adore that floor. Well, Vader in Jabba's Palace, I'm not sure... but the vignette is too good to query the story.
