Admiral-Ackbar

I believe it was about 19 years between Episode 3 and 4. They should have kept the Venators for the benefit of the newly made Stormtroopers, they would have remained familiar to their ship throughout.

Thanks again for your kind words. I think that we are all in agreement that this ship came from a very upsetting and emotional part of the Prequel Trilogy, The Great Jedi Purge I think it was called.

Same at my Tesco, they still have nearly full stock of Series 1 (bar Sebulba) except for the ones I bought! May still buy next years planets. Just cause.

I can't do any greebling due to a lack of parts, and I don't think they would; maybe as a MINI but not any other way. I have added an interior of sorts! Thanks everyone for your kind comments so far!

Considering how talented you are at LDD, I don't think you'll have any problems finding something else to make!

Thanks for the kind comments, Darth! I said it looked because of it's monochrome colour scheme; something I disliked about the Imperial Star Destroyers.

This is an excellent MOC Darth! I'm glad to see something that is outside of the box (so to speak) and also extremely accurate! Good job, and keep it up! P.S. My favourite has to be Obi-Wans Lightsaber. I just think of him as one of the best Jedi in the Clone Wars and he was great in the movies too, plus he's not half a good fighter! Very accurate rendition of a legends lightsaber!

While I have removed all of the stickers and red and added lots of grey, I haven't actually built anything inside, just stripped it of it's 'Republiclyness', plus I currently don't own Palpy or Vader. It does sound like a good way to improve this though! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks Wedge! I appreciate it!

My entry: Post Republic Venator Class Cruiser Hope yous like it!

Welcome to Eurobricks, darth! I look forward to seeing your contribution to the Star Wars forum!

Again, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad that people see the resemblance between this and the actual ship.

Thanks for your kind words! I agree with you about this part of the movie, it was extremely sad.

The evil sith lord Sidious has re-organised the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire, and has ordered all fleets in the galaxy to remove their markings, making the ships look monochrome..... A front view of the ship (doesn't it look boring?): A view from higher up at the front. Here you can see the imperial logo, only there to show it's technically not a Republic ship any more: Yet another view showing a better look to the commnand section and wings: And finally a look at the side (here you can see my bad workmanship in all it's glory): And now I present my attempt at the interior (not very good due to a lack of parts and awkward camera for the day) for your hopeful viewing pleasure: An overall view of the front section: A closeup of 'Vader' and 'Palpatine': A closer look at the 'trenches' that are about 4 studs deep: And a look at the rear 'corridor': I hope the interior doesn't look too shabby, but I am still quite short on parts. Thats all folks! Hope you like it, and I hope that I'll be able to make a proper MOC soon.

Not yet, we'll have to wait a little longer for that.

This is a fantastic representation of the Jedi Temple!! I wish my inspiration would come to me as quick as this.... Good job, my friend!

I agree with everyone, we should be seeing a later season set of jedi, and all phase 2 clones. Can't wait for all of the clone wars heroes in new style! I'm going to be very skint by February in we see everything that we want in terms of minifigures! By the way, is it possible that we are seeing so few film series sets is that we got loads in the 2012 waves, and that the summer wave for next year is almost fully reserved for Eps 2,3 and 6?

Ouch! Hope you enjoy your recovery better than the tooth pulling! I also have recently bought both sets, the skiff in Manchesters Lego Shop, the other in Toys R Us in Glasgow (I travel a lot). I also bought both for the minifigures, and have made random stuff out of the palace, mainly becuase there is no more room on my Lego shelves for it!

I don't mean to put in little effort at the moment, but all I can do is mod something until I can afford buying new sets to take bricks from. Sorry!

Just a quick question, can you mod existing sets as long as they are within the story arc of ep.3?

I'm definitely in too! I missed the first two so this is my chance to contribute to a community build.

Wow. This is AMAZING!!! This is the ultimate in Lego Star Wars sets. I would definitely buy this if lego sold it. Brilliant job!

Wish I could say, must be wanting a change.

This is the list of sets from Imperium der Steine, for those who wish to just read it here. The numbering seems to line up with sources that say all Lego sets will switch to five numbers. I much prefer this wave now after seeing many positive things: - The droidekas in the BP are regular droidekas and the AT-RT has the sniper droideka. - All of the clones are likely to be phase 2. - We are going to see a new Ahsoka (but not a new Obi-Wan?) - And we are also getting Pong Krell. I will probably be buying the the planet sets just for completeness, and all of the main sets if I find the money. Empty wallet again it seems.

Very good MOC Wedge! I really like how well built it seems, and the shovel is a nice touch!
