Jimmy Olsen from S:TAS is ready. Sadly, I noticed that my custom-painted hair looks inaccurate on him; Obi-Wan's new mullet piece would've probably been a better solution. Bane's minifigure now has a new, better-looking (if it's possible to say so) face. I feel like it's possible to upgrade it further, but I am quite happy with the result now.

Why not? This face isn't even accurate to the TDK version of the character. It could be used for literally anything. I could use it for Loka Hask, for example

Thanks for the new wing fairing, the I-15's wings are now much sturdier. I also redesigned them to look better in shape (using tiles to make them smoother is another goal yet to achieve):

I decided to remove Bruce Wayne and Superman's cheekbones for the sake of better accuracy. Batman's got a TLBM head, with its lower part painted black: I also updated some old characters' minifigures: - Harvey Bullock now has a new, better-looking coat; - With the acquisition of 76274 I decided to reject the idea of painting Two-Face's head blue in favour of the original pink, which is less accurate but easier on the eyes (the perfect solution would've been a pale blue - impossible for me at the moment); - Mad Hatter now has a completely new, dark green outfit (the green one made him look like a leprechaun), with his top hat painted to match the new colour (the hat from Emerald city is currently out of reach for me); - Clock King now has a more accurate clone head with sticker gray hair; - Since my new white stickers are especially sticky, Mary Marvel now has sleeves on her arms! (And a new, better-looking torso) Custom-painted hair for Jimmy Olsen is ready. More characters (JL included) are set to be made in the future

I slightly reworked (as it is always with my MOCs) the Batjet - the main improvement is a more accurate cockpit interior, with some minor changes done to the undercarriage:

I wonder what minifigures will be included in the TIE fighter GWP set...

Love the logo set. I don't think I am going to acquire it, but it still looks awesome - even without the minifigures. The Kenobi sets' box art featured an accurate ANH Vader minifigure, complete with red lens and cloth over his shoulder armour. Didn't happen, to my great disappointment (Tantive IV set had a wasted potential for including this minifigure)

Thanks, @MKJoshA! My issue with Rax is that he emerges specifically after the fall of Coruscant. Since using another character (like Jordan Arendale) would be a little tough for me, I thought that maybe I could join the game later. I might avoid bringing Grievous back, but the temptation is strong... I did bring back Cody after all (though he wasn't dead)... I already used (or mentioned) all the major EU characters I could possibly use in my previous builds. I wish Thrawn was still alive. I could use his help during the Vong war...

Am I able to violate the existing Canon by proclaiming that Grievous is still alive and held in jail?.. As a matter of fact, how far can we get in twisting the SW lore? I used a canonical character's name and applied it to an entirely different person while participating in Mysteries. Would it work now? Also, will I be able to join the game after the fall of Coruscant? Or I must enlist from the very beginning, if I want to participate?

I enjoyed Rex the most, looks awesome!

Why are you trying to summon Turtle? Is the Aslume spreading?

Because Disney doesn't like that word, "it's offensive to [you know whom]". How are they going to cope with the fact that Anakin used to be a slave on Tatooine in TPM?

Base seems to look better than the 2015 version...

I don't. I would have preferred sets to be a little bit larger, with more detail and, if it's possible, more faithful to the source material. But of course, it's impossible, since LSW sets are for kids who don't care about accuracy...

One of the reasons I dislike RO is how incompetent the Empire was there. Sure, the main cast all died at the end, but they kicked Imps' butts at ease all the way before that. Heck, the Empire doesn't have any valid anti-air defences! You can simply land on a top-secret Imperial facility and no one bats an eye! Worse than ROTJ's Scout troopers, from my point of view

"For the Empire" on YouTube

Does it still exist? - definitely. Fewer and fewer people care about new installments of the franchise over the years? - quite so. Maybe not utterly dead yet, but it's dying for a long time already... ANYTHING with Filoni involved was trash, IMAO

They were not supposed to be good things; and, surprise surprise, they aren't (I know it is a matter of taste, but after watching the OT a bazillion times I cringe at everything, for I started seeing how flawed every single SW EU piece is; I firmly believe that NOT A SINGLE IMAGINARY UNIVERSE (SW included) LORE SHOULD HAVE ARROGANT CONTRADICTIONS). It honestly surprises me how many fans love Rogue one; this movie is basically everything wrong with Disney Star Wars: stupid plot, violent lore breaking and lots of fake nostalgia. You cannot just copypaste elements from ANH without understanding how they work to achieve a good result. Totally agree, especially with the last part

Because they profit large sums of money without the necessity of producing quality content. They just don't have to. There are mady ways to make money nowadays aside of creating something that will entertain the public

This is not going to work. I think it is naive to believe that those people are going to do anything better than those Disney guys. Original creators of a successful franchise are eager to massacre their own boy (George Lucas and his Prequels; SW aside, we have the DCAU as a sad example of Dini (Batman: the adventures continue) and Timm (the latest being B:CC) doing exactly the same things as Kathleen Kennedy with SW). Quality content is completely impossible nowadays

Rey absolutely was part of why those movies were bad. We live in an epoch when franchise-owning corporations deliberately put maximum effort into destroying said franchises with stupid plots and total lack of respect towards the originals, while desperately trying to attract the audience with fake nostalgia. Rogue One and Andor's sudden successes were purely accidental and definitely weren't planned. If DS happens - Yularen, and especially Tarkin, and probably Krennic, are going to show up. If UT-AT happens - Bacara will totally get a new helmet mold (if he is included). I am not sure if UT-AT is going to happen or not, and whether Bacara is included or not. I only know TLG is never going to realise small, affordable sets with DS characters I need after this 1000$ disaster. RIP my ANH brickfilm... Guess it's never going to happen.

Looks very beautiful! Absolutely love the curvature. I could only wish such an official set existed. Good job!

A very beautiful build! Love how gorgeously you designed the trees and the waterplants - simple, yet effective.

Just like with my Patrol trooper, I upgraded my Scout trooper minifigure with sticker arm decor: Works better than the dual-molded arms, I think...

I expressed the desire to create my own version of the iconic B:TAS Batmobile in my review of the official 76274 set - and here it is! Not the best solution out there, but definitely more accurate than the original set (many of which's parts and decisions were incorporated into my MOC). Sadly, it lacks any functions and gadgets, seen in the cartoon - the deficit of dark blue parts at my disposal took its toll... Honestly, I am not quite satisfied with the rear's look - but it's the best I could do: Another disappointment is the cockpit - I originally wanted it to include two seats, but I soon realised that it's not possible without damaging external accuracy. On the bright side of things, it fits a Batman minifigure with type 3 cowl (the one with the short ears, first introduced in the Lego Batman 3 videogame) and has a steering wheel, mounted on an angle - an improved version of the one from the set. Of course, the front wheels of this model can be steered - just like on any other of my car MOCs: Forgive me for the lack of a B:TAS Batman minifigure - I don't have the resources to custom-create it (yet; I am totally unsatisfied with the official one). I hope you liked it!
