  1. Thanks both of you! I'm happy you liked the reminiscence of Palpatine Yperio That was a tough decision how to realize it convincingly. No no! Only Lukes arc within Jedi Quest might be coming to an end. The story with Iya will further unfold, but Luke is now way beyond a cameo and becoming a regular in this series. I have mixed feelings. He's kinda my favorite character (boring, I know ) and it's tempting to use him further. It's similar to the Mandalorian series on D+. Luke is always the hero and spotlight is on him, when used. So I think I might move away from his path (he still will be investigating the Reborn activities in the background) and concentrate on my Mysteries character Iya Qu'an and introduce some other originals. That doesn't mean Luke won't reappear someday. But I wanted to read your feedback how you perceived his usage and character in my little arc here...
  2. Hello, Here I present my Swoop - a reminiscence to the one from Taris in the old KotOR video game. This one is a modern version and from coloring and design point of view reminding of Anakins pod racer*. Check out it's garage and how it's used as a set in my latest episode in the Mysteries RPG: * It came to pass that Ireused the pod from my M4-24 entry and modified it
  3. Hello, Here I present four versions of our favorite Galactic Entrepreneur 2 canonic, two are my creations. I unfortunately don't own his most iconic light blue shirt from Cloud City, but I have a solid moc alternative as backup shown elsewhere Feel free to check out Landos cameo in my latest episode in the Eurobricks Mysteries RPG game: Cheers.
  4. *Your entry has earned 15 XP (S:5, T:5, A:5) Jedi Quest - A Star Wars Mysteries Story Chapter Overview with Link: Dramatis Personae: ******* Chapter 04 - Fight at the Swoop Garage << to previous chapter Middle City of Taris. An old power generator building, now used as a garage for one of the infamous Tarisian Swoop racers. A Galactic Enterpreneur, soldier of fortune and Rebel Hero is sneaking around and making an important discovery… » Look what we have here... « » Hey, what are you doing here?! Identify yourself! « » It's not my fault! I was just admiring this swoop machine and - « » Luke! Thanks, but I almost coaxed them into giving me all the information. « » Sure you have. Lando? Good to see you. « » Oh, who we have here? I am Lando Calrissian. Galactic Entrepreneur and a friend of Luke's. « » Iya Qu'an. Nice cape and nice to meet you. « » So what have you found, Lando? « » You set me on these Dark Acolytes and I asked around, you know. One thing led to the other and now I'm here. They were smuggling these from Coruscant. « » Lightsabers! They are for the Reborn. « » Well combined, detective Jedi, muhaha! Now you all have to die... « Three Reborn Dark Jedi appear and an intense fight begins... » That's impossible! « Now, young Skywalker, you will die... » Argh! No! « » Luke! « » I'm ok. This - this powers reminded me of... « » I... I didn't want to... « » It's ok, Iya. These Reborn are vessels for the Dark Side. Not really alive anymore. I will stop it. All of this. « » You alone? « » It's too dangerous for you to stay with me. That holds for Lando too. I cannot protect you. « But I feel the White Current! « » But you can't control it. You are brave, but you require training... Training I cannot provide you. Not now. « Lando will take you to safety. Lando? « » Sure... I can get you off-world, Iya. « » I understand... Jedi Luke? May the White Current flow through you. « » Haha, and the Force be with you, Iya. « » He'll be fine. Hey, there is a big New Republic Gala I'm attending soon. Maybe you want to be my guest, Iya? I can show you a bit around. « To next chapter >> ************************************ Hello and welcome to the next episode of Jedi Quest! The garage is my second attempt to build a circular base after the Prologue for RotLA. I’m quite happy how it turned out, although there was some tweaking necessary as the wing-plates do not make up a perfect 180° half circle, which was annoying. The build comprises an old energy generator room that is used as a garage for a swoop racer now. The swoop is a reminiscence of the one on Taris from the old KotOR game. Here I reused parts from from my M4-24 pod racer and modified them to fit with the wings and engines. Also the color scheme of the racer reminds of Anakins pod racer. The Reborn are expanded by the dark blue variant here. Not sure if I can introduce the orange and the green one to some day Last but not least, there is another familiar face showing up with Lando. I gave him some new clothes as this fella is known for his extravagancy and having a fitting cape to any of his garment. I hope you like this version! I guess the Jedi Quest Arc with Luke is coming to an end here. I don't want to over-use and own him here too much. Please give me feedback what you think. But there definitely will be a "Wiedersehen" with Iya Qu'an soon! Credits to @Professor Thaum for the control panel of the power core I got inspired by a lot! Also to let the cables and hoses disappear in the ground was a cool idea I took as a reference from here. Here are some bonus pictures:
  5. Oooo this looks nice! Another convincing microbuild with all those trees and the shuttle. I can relate. Sometimes 2D photographs just can't depict the feel of a nice 3D model properly. But here it works for me. Argh. You were on the verge of greatness. You were this close It's Ajunta Pall's golden lightsaber But still a great little easter egg
  6. This is an amazing build! It looks so smooth and agile! Great work
  7. Intense fighting scene Well executed and presented! The creeping vegetation indeed gives it a good finish.
  8. First of all, thank you @Jody Meyer for taking the steering wheel on the Raiders story and contributing to it. Great to see the own characters unfold in another build! It was not easy for sure to render the 'Bothan' head. All in all it's a nice little movie with all the scenes in those different environments. I also like the hallway and Mama the Hutt approaching the heroes the most. Just one remark to the speed. If you could make the image transitions with more text on the page slower, the readers would appreciate
  9. Oh, I was not precise enough. I referred to some literature of the expanded universe. There is a lot of weird (and bad) stuff out there. I don't regret it fell off the cliff as the Disney canon has been set up. There are some good stories and characters that I miss in the new canon though. Although I like to discuss (and generate views), we're getting off topic here, I guess. It's just a fan build and little non-canonic (old and new) story piece for Mysteries! @Professor Thaum would you mind to remove the censorship, please? I hardly believe an orange minifig is to much for the readers eyes. This an AFOL forum after all.
  10. I don't recall they were anywhere present in the old canon. But I have not read a lot I must say. Do you consider the Clone Wars already new or old canon too? There seem to be many Mandalorian episodes. Btw I thought initially that everything that happend before RotJ is both old and new canon. Also the purge. So that's why I put it here in first attempt. I personally like how the Mandalorians are portrayed in the new canon. "Making sense" are bold words in a pulp space opera, narrated and iterated for over 40 years
  11. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it This is hilarious I like the little controversy caused She is not naked, it's a rebel flight suit! (no it isn't , only out off game the torso is) But it's not about her being (almost) naked. (Anyway she wouldn't jump inside with her dress on would she?) It's her courage and obscure beasts' judgement that convince the Mandalorian. I thought this would be most in character with them. So blame Lucasfilm Above all I'm almost thinking the Mandos make no fuzz about nudity. It's just a temporary state and in this case best suited (pun!) for the situation of having to dive in that pond. Oh oh, another sleeping dogs I didn't intend to wake up... To whomever censored my image: I don't think that helps. It makes it worse, in fact C'mon it's an orange plastic lego figure! It's just your fantasy where all comes to life
  12. Anyway I did not mention Bo-Katan so it's just a (nameless) cameo and Auxi came handy since I wanted to bring this Togruta-minifig somewhere. She may not get more screentime, as this is just about paving the way for Yperio_Bricks's Mando story. Moreover I assumed a similar ice-spider could live anywhere. The hot pool of Maldo Kreis was just an inspiration. So no big deal I hope
  13. Hello @Max_Lego, thanks for the praise For the liberties taken I see myself backed by the rulebook, see quote above. I perceive it this way that we are building our own canon here
  14. *Your entry has earned 13 XP + 2 bonus for a total of 15 XP (S:5, T:4, A:4) MANDO MAYHEM - 4 - THE MANDALORIAN CONCLAVE << to previous chapter The Corewraith Hotsprings – a Mandalorian sanctuary somewhere in the icy glaciers on planet Krownest. It is said, that deep in the hot waters the Corewraiths dwell – mysterious and dangerous creatures, born in the planet’s core, spitting boiling water and worshiped by many, only surpassed in their legendary status by the mythical Mythosaurus’ of Mandalore. No Corewraith has haunted the sanctuary for a many years and for now, only nasty ice spiders would call the cavern with the sacred pool their home. Today, Mandalorians from all clans would gather here to hold a conclave. Not all of them are happy; as it’s the first time in centuries an offworlder would be allowed to enter their sanctuary… » All clear now! « » Mandalorians! Let’s welcome our guest in these sacred halls and listen what they have to offer! « » I am Senator Auxi Kray Korbin, Chief Advisor to recently elected Chancellor Mon Mothma. I am here as an ambassador of the New Republic. Both our people have suffered heavily under the stranglehold of the Empire. Although the Empire was shattered, its fragments remain sharp and dangerous. The New Republic offers you an alliance to avert this threat together, for once and for all! What do you say?!« » The Mandalore way is the way of strength. If you were strong, you would not come here and beg for help – you and your little Republic. I say, Mandalore has no need for weaklings. And no need for this blasphemy of having you setting foot here, in first place. « » I think, you misunderstood the Senator. She is offering a partnership. I have heard no word of begging from her mouth. « » Pfft. Partnership. Alliance. Other words for weakness. « » What if the Corewraiths deemed me worthy? Oh yes, I learned about your legends and I demand the Corewraiths’ trial! « » No offworlder has ever challenged the Corewraiths’ judgment! That’s outrageous! Blasphemy! « » She has all rights to do so. You know it is the way… « » Yes… It is the way. « » That’s five minutes deep in those hot water caves now. I admit she was brave but she failed. The Corewraiths have spoken. « » No wait, she’s resurfacing… « » Then, this is the way! « ****************** Hello and welcome to a contribution for @Yperio_Bricks 's Mando Mayhem story arc! Additional pics you find here: Credits to @Eternal Maul for the heavy blaster rifle the Mandalorian Brute is holding. Edit : I removed the mentioning of the night of the thousand tears from the intro.
  15. Welcome to the game!
  16. Thank you all. Great you enjoyed this spooky episode Ah, me neither, actually. I read a few books at young age, like the Thrawn trilogy, Jedi Academy and the black fleet trilogy. I'm pulling some of the stuff I consider interesting or good from the legends continuum and bring it up here and there. We are anyway all creating our own unofficial "Mysteryverse" here, aren't we? The Empire Reborn I read about on wookieepedia but I do not intend to recreate the story. I borrow some of the content from Jedi Outcast and Academy video games though and also from new canon, here explicitly from The Bad Batch. Ah, so we will see some dark side horror soon? Looking forward to it!
  17. Thanks for all the feedback here and in the other entries. Outcast is still one of the best video games in terms of Star Wars feeling so I wanted to give it some credit here. The 'barfight' on Nar Shaddaa is such an iconic scene. Thank you very much explicitly on this one. I started moccing around this time last year ago and I really enjoyed the journey so far and I learned a lot since then. I'm really happy I was invited to this game and community
  18. Wow, looks great indeed Very delicate brickwork with all these small plates making up the walls and floor What I like here (but also on other players mocs in general) is that your style is kinda unique and recognizable. This one reminds me of your M4-24 Coruscant build. That was also a great one Very nice
  19. *Your entry has earned 14 XP (S:4.5, T:4.5, A:4.5) Jedi Quest - A Star Wars Mysteries Story Chapter Overview with Link: Dramatis Personae: ******* Chapter 03 - The Secret Lab ( A Mysteries Halloween Special) << to previous chapter Somewhere, deep in the Undercity of Taris, lays a secret laboratory of the Imperial Remnant… » Do you know how the Inquisitors first came into being? They were Jedi once, taken by the dark powers. Tortured and mutilated… « » Grrrrr… « » … a ruined and terrible form of life. And now…perfected: my fighting Dark Jedi. Whom do you serve? « » The Reborn Empire! « » Hunt them down! Do not stop until they are found. You have the Force, you do not know fear. Let the Jedi falter! « » Rrrnnn-Rrrnnn!!! « Sometime later… » Doctor… « » Ah. Master Tho-Ral, how can I serve? « » The Reborn. They are … a mess. They are consumed by the Dark Side. How can I lead an army of Dark Jedi, when they DIE AFTER A FEW DAYS?!? Not talking about the Jedi sniffing around… « » Argh [chokes] This is uncharted territory, master. The subjects are technically already dead, you know?! « Injecting the substance while killing them stabilizes the transfer. That was a great idea, I have to say. And the last iterations look good, but the M-count - « » I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE M-COUNT, DOCTOR!!! « » Gngh… yes, yes I understand. But just want to let you know, that during my time with the Tantiss project I heard that a catalyst may help to stabilize the process. « »Go on. « » I am no Force user, but what I learned is that a certain… medium could work as a purifier. There is a kyber crystal that Emperor - « » Do not dare to say his name! « » I – I am not going to, master. Anyway, you-know-who, he owned an artifact. The Disciples Heart. « » So where is this artifact now?!? « to next chapter >> ************************************ Hello and welcome to this spooky Halloween Special! I again used my light box, this time with a colored LED array to give the laboratory a mysterious green vibe from below through all the mesh. Here you can find the build under white light and different angles. You see, I have only two of them tanks, but that allowed anyway for better placing the minifigs in the middle. So I assumed, the lab is not at full capacity yet Quiz: To what movie and scene I bow to with the first part of the dialogues?
  20. Thank you guys! (and welcome, @AgentBrix) I had to google what you mean. I didn't know this soylent green story. Here, recycled food could be more like, you know, recycled human organic waste. No humans inside though Luke eating awkward stuff is a little nod to the scene from E8 where he drinks that fresh walrus-beast milk on that kriffin' island As a Jedi, he's open minded, you know. Moreover he comes from Tatooine. I guess there everything got to be recycled... Busted! These are nearly all I got. But I wanted to try a little water effect too! It became a leaking water well at least
  21. Ah so that's how it's called in English? Yes, exactly that's what I refer to.
  22. If you mean positive criticism, yes. I did not criticize anything on your build, only praised it And i did not mean the whole front, but really the cockpit hood (the window parts) only. You have built it very well according to the original. The hood is definitely not super streamlined on the original. The Y-Wing is like a humvee. Not streamlined, not looking 'fast' but robust.
  23. I totally agree with Prof. Thaum. You nailed the look of the fighter very well. Especially the cockpit hood is often recreated too 'streamlined' in series or moc sets. You took a good look at the quite pragmatic, robust design of the Y-Wing that it has, in contrast to the X-Wing. The engines are solved well, without relying on dome shaped fronts. Good work with these angles!
  24. *Your entry has earned 12 XP (S:4, T:4, A:4) Jedi Quest - A Star Wars Mysteries Story Chapter Overview with Link: Dramatis Personae: ******* Chapter 02 - Jedi Investigations << to previous chapter Somewhere in the Undercity on Taris… » Thanks again for saving me up there in the club, Jedi Skywalker. « » No worries. And it’s Luke. « » Yes, Jedi Luke. « » Just Luke. « » So… Luke, what are we doing down here? « » Recycled food! Good value for your credits! Get your recycled food! « » Um, we’re getting some food, it seems. « » Want some? It’s actually better than advertised. « » Er… no thank you. So you just follow where the current flows, I assume. « » The Force? Yes, the Force is with me. It will guide you if you learn to listen. « » Luke, erm… the Reborn called you the Last Jedi. Are you really the last one? « » To be honest, I don’t know. My old master told me so, but… I think there are more. Maybe none of them was promoted to be a Jedi-Knight, but they can wield the Force. I mean, look at you, Iya. « » My kin does not wield the White Current. It’s forbidden, in fact. That’s what got me here - ‘cause I … I’m different… « » You want to become a Jedi. « » Can you… can you teach me these powers? « » Hmm. I barely finished my own training. I don’t know if I’m ready. I mean, I will have to rebuild the Jedi order some day but - « » Why are you afraid? « » Hmm … Ask me again some time. « » Oh! Stormtroopers! What are they doing here? « » Taris is still contested. There are some hideouts the New republic did not get to yet. Let’s investigate. « » … and he said, that’s the best you can do with your life. You either run like a coward, or be part of something. « » So you undergo that treatment and then what? They hand you over one of these laserswords and you become something like an invincible demigod? « » Unlimited power, he said - if you stand the pain. But if they ask me, I take it. Better than hiding here, surrounded by junk. You should do the same. « » I dunno, pal. Sounds like some cultist gibberish. The Empire is going down to pieces, I say it. I’m not going to join. « » Do what you want. But if I run into a Jedi, I’d rather be equipped and powerful enough to fight him. « » Psst, Luke? You hear that? « » Yes, Iya. Seems like our junkyard investigations were a success. « to next chapter >> **************************** Hello, welcome to the Jedi Quest Story Arc. I decided to spin it off from the Raiders storyline, so here it is, in a brand new outfit... Hope you can follow the different subplots better now Here, another image without the minifigs and closed doors:
  25. Cool fortress in microscale. The shape of the structures forming the imperial insignia is stunning. Seems like Velusia is prepared to resist. I like your story too, acknowledging differences between the warlords of the shattered Empire. Would love to see Commisar Rax and the mysterious K. Kaas meeting each other - in a holo or in persona. Maybe they will soon both serve a Crimson Emperor?
