Thanks! Yes, my bridge is, honestly, far from perfect, yet I am glad you liked it! Also the Ssi-Ruuk, which I immediately thought was a good idea to use the D&D Paladin's head for!

Awesome

I attempted to bring Lego Sonic and Eggman to normal minifigure height once. I wanted them not to stand out next to Maria and GUN soldiers. Though I succeeded with Eggman, Sonic is still an unsolved mystery for me If Sonic and co. are normal minifigures though, I understand the preference of a brick-built Eggman

Please read my post above. I already explained it

First: it's about a Galaxy, far far away, a developed civilization that knows better than treat people like trash because of their descent. Second, Threepio, Leia and Lando are supposed to be good guys. People generally call each other names - it's NOT OK, but it doesn't really mean anything. The argument on Ewoks cannot be taken seriously because how wrong it is. The Empire never mentioned them even after their surprise attack. It's safe to assume that they didn't interfere in each other's affairs and not expected to Third: Evil doesn't mean bigoted Fourth: if you want the Empire to be evil - please, portray it believeably, not the chaotic, suicidal, cartoonish blood-sucking monsters from the EU and Disney canon. I never said that the Empire is undoubtedly not evil, I don't invite anyone to share my views on the subject, I am just tired of SW writers not understanding how to write an evil space dictatorship. The same thing I am telling myself. I don't really care about Clones now, but people like them, so I don't see the problem. Also, people complaining about the OT sets doesn't inspire hope for me. The OT is the only SW that I really enjoy, but most people prefer Filoni's TCW. Who asked my stupid opinions?

At least one black trooper in ANH is confirmed. It's safe to assume that there are more. Transitioning typical American issues onto a Galaxy far, far away is lazy, IMAO. That's why Disney's explanations on R1 are nonsense If the Empire is bigoted because of its refusal to recruit aliens into military service, that 'bigotry' is against the humans. Were I an alien under the Empire, I would've been grateful for not having to serve. From an utilitarian point of view, humans also are the least fussy sentient species, that's why only they are being conscripted. I always absolutely hated the idea of the Empire being bigoted against non-humans. It comes literally out of nowhere. The Emperor being a bigot is totally unbelievable, especially after the Prequels (even though I don't consider them Canon). People who try to write the Empire as evil fail because their lack of understanding how it really works. But not from the Rebels. Does it really matter? Even if the quote is from 2024, how does it change his point? There is also the fact that more than a half of aliens from ANH didn't make it into the final cut. SW were about alien diversity all along.

This is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you create such a marvelous ship and not be on the contest? Your work is fantastic! The resemblance to the official set is uncanny, and the quality of the build is outstanding! If not for the set's price, you may have easily become one of the best competitors in the large category

Yeah, especially in ANH and, to a lesser extent, ESB Fun fact: the word 'democracy' is never uttered in the entire OT. Compare to the Prequels (also a product of their time). In the OT, the Rebellion's portrayal was very different from Disney's. ANH and R1 rebels have zero in common. In the OT, they are a serious military organisation first and foremost, and their primary interest is succeeding in whatever their mission is. In R1, they are... I hate to be off-topic, but I just can't leave that without a response

I agree that it feels forced. George Lucas said that Star Wars is not about human, but alien diversity. At least one black trooper was present on Tatooine in the 1977 cut: They won't. The 2014 version is not perfect, yet it's better than the new one. I doubt they will create a new mold or bring back the old one - it would cost money, and TLG is lazy. They did reject that nice Rebel pilot helmet mold though. It worked much better, at least, for Luke

These cars are very beautiful! I especially like the Olympia. Sadly, it's hard to squeeze two minifigures into a 6-studs wide space, so I understand your decision of leaving room for the driver only

Meanwhile Raimi Spider-Man fans are like:

Looks beautiful and instantly recognisable. Nice use of curved parts

This may be slightly off-topic, yet I think I may post it here... It's a custom minifigure I created for idle fun - Field Marshal Cody in Stormtrooper armor (my own fanon): The minifigure was inspired by the looks of the Snowtrooper officer and, of course, Clone Commander Cody from Episode 3.

I think you got me wrong. I appreciate your work, and I just hope you handle my character properly, so that Rax stays in-character. I will reference his participation in the assembly in my further works

Two new characters were made - this time they are Lois Lane and Annie from TNBA episode "Growing pains": Sadly, Lois has got an inaccurate hairpiece - I didn't find a better solution... As you can see, I also upgraded Mary Marvel - the previous version looked too old for my taste. Short white sleeves may be added later - if I manage to acquire the parts needed, of course... I also hope to make an STAS Jimmy Olsen soon. As for JL characters, I think I will start with Wonder Woman (probably)...

Awesome scene, beautiful hatch, magnificent tunnel! You are truly a master of dioramas, @Sentinel_Brix! I just hope Rax will leave the party soon. After all, he sees the Warlords as much worse than even the New Republic

Once again, you came up with a beautiful diorama, @Sentinel_Brix! I especially like the statue. What's a party worth without them Death Sticks?! Just kiddin'!

- He used the c-word!! That was very hurtful. - Roger, roger. But what about an official R3-M2 minifigure?

I agree with you - the push ahead idea is more realistic than the pull back. Either way, all your planes look very nice!

Thanks! The only characters using custom-printed parts are the Imperial officers, whom TLG didn't produce. Vader has custom cloth parts, Ceremony Leia has a paper cape, the droid you mentioned, R4-M9, has stickers on its cone, Ben Kenobi with a hood on his head had the hood erased from the back of his torso. The rest are purist. The bald officer is General Hurst Romodi. Thanks! You mean Piett wearing the Captain insignia plaque? - my explanation is that he was demoted... For not being able to cope with the responsibility of being an Admiral, hence why he's not afraid of Vader anymore in ROTJ. As far as I remember, he was never addressed to as Admiral in the movie. The credits calling him an Admiral are wrong Totally agreed. That's why I would've liked TLG to realise a Death Star Conference Room, and more affordable ABY Lieutenant and Admiral minifigures

Why, thanks! Yes, that's the idea - I believe Vader had trouble with distinguishing BBY ranks, that's why he called every officer a 'commander' in ANH, so the simplified ABY system was developed

One of the infinite reasons why I don't trust Wikipedia's historical/political articles!!! No offence, @Sentinel_Brix. I am glad you agree with me

I hate being political here, but I don't really see any controversy here - she consciously did outright Nazi propaganda and denied the facts of their atrocities after the war. Her film "Triumph of the will", in particular, inspired the Rebel awards ceremony scene from ANH. George Lucas clearly didn't understand what he was doing when creating Star Wars... Anyway, I disagree with comparing an "above politics" holoactress with a propagandist

Here's how my Star Wars MOCs are displayed: ANH characters with Lambda Shuttle in the background - it didn't fit into the cabinet. An Imperial cruiser (NOT Star Destroyer!) from ANH WIP can be seen: Aside from ANH, my main focus is on Thrawn's war on the New Republic - though it goes 'slightly' different, than how Zahn described it. The Imperial Army is lead by Field Marshal Cody and his aide Major Enric Pryde (on the left). Major General Veers is, sadly, still absent: The Imperial Starfleet is, of course, led by Thrawn, pictured here with his bodyguards Tag and Bink, captain Enoch, Pellaeon and Moden Canady (far left) - captain of the Super Dreadnought Ravager, the Flagship of Gallius Rax: Sadly, I don't have many New Republic commanders - General Madine's minifigure is very hard to acquire. The two on the right are an Army officer and a soldier - I am planning to increase their numbers, especially for my New Republic troopers: I hope I am not too off-topic... I just disagree with the Canon in general. The only things I consider Canon is the OT, the rest is for borrowing headcanon ideas. A Starfighter commander also wore a black uniform in ANH I succeeded in solving the rank plaque mystery... By ignoring canonical ranks of characters. My idea was that the plaques seen in ANH are definitive for the Early Empire's Military, and were replaced with more simple ones later (when Vader became Supreme Commander); Taggi is a Starfleet commander, NOT a general. The result is this table: The funny thing is that Yularen is still a colonel, while Romodi is still a general... Which is good somehow

I disagree with the official Canon. In the OT, we saw only Sandtroopers wearing pauldrons. I personally think they are worn to protect the shoulder from a powerful weapon's (like the T-21 blaster) recoil (I am not quite sure about that). I imagine the colour indicating the Sandtrooper's specialisation, not rank (black/no pauldron for regular trooper, white for mounties, orange for commanders). I don't think Stormtrooper commanders wear pauldrons - in fact, they didn't even wear armour in ROTJ. They may wear a helmet and chestplate like Veers. Black uniforms distinguish lieutenants and lower ranks, not Stormtrooper officers (I am strongly against the idea that Stormtroopers are an elite unit - they act like ordinary foot soldiers in the OT) It's all just my headcanon, though based on multiple long observations. Sorry for being off-topic...
