You could put them in a set called 'Vader's Bad Day at Work' . Ok, that wazn't very good.... Anyway, I think that maybe a new Imperial Guard or even a Sentinel is in order.

What're your favorite and least favorite Star Wars sets?
Admiral-Ackbar replied to Loco de Lego's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I think that so far we have a winner for '99-'04 and '04 onwards: 7159 Star Wars Bucket and 7257 Ultimate Lightsaber Battle Thanks for all of your comments everyone! -
I think that Lego should be making more sets from Episode 2 for a start. Like 'the cannon that destroys the Trade Federation starship in the Battle of Geonosis'. Anyway, a nice Republic ship such as an Acclamator Class Assualt Frigate or an Arquitens Class Light Cruiser would go down well with me. Plus it would give Lego the opportunity to introduce Republic Navy Officers. And while they're at it, they can make a Phase 2 clone trooper battle pack with 2 clone troopers, a clone commander, an arc trooper, and a small command centre. This would just make 2013 for me.

What're your favorite and least favorite Star Wars sets?
Admiral-Ackbar replied to Loco de Lego's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I see many topics asking what the 'most bestest set in, like, ever' is, but very few asking about the doom and gloom of the Lego Star Wars sets. In your own opinion (or as a 'fact'), what Star Wars set would you say is just awful. For me, it has to be the Tie Defender. I just dont like it. It looks as if someone has attached several knifes to a Tie fighter cockpit. It appears as though Lego made this set while extremely 'over the moon' and with whatever pieces they could find in their office. But you may think differently. If you like it so much, why dont you marry it?!? I'm kidding of course. Please tell me what you think is the worst Lego Star Wars set ever. -

I have to say, this MOC looks absolutely fantastic! I really hope that there will be more of this soon! I am not worthy to compete! -

[MOC] Naboo Heavy Freight Carrier - Mini
Admiral-Ackbar replied to Admiral-Ackbar's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I originally had the grey slopes in the lights place, but I ran out after trying to curve the ship a bit more. -
Jokes aside, this ship is my second (or third if you count my AWC entry) MOC and I think it's actually easily recognisable as a Naboo Ship. Anyway, here is the description I made for it (this is a fanon ship)..... Most widely used during the later days of the Galactic Republic, the Naboo Heavy Freight Carrier was one of many Naboo assigned ships that served the Royal Family of Naboo; the freight carrier being the largest and heaviest of them all. Lightly armed, the carrier had to be escorted by three or four Naboo starfighters when outwith the Naboo system, but only one when in-system. The ship came equipped with an unusually powerful hyperdrive, meaning it could travel faster than many of it's counterparts, or if need be, pirates. The ship was de-commisioned after only three years of service due to it's near uselessness in the long term; more of the Royal Family's ships were being outfitted with more efficient storage at it's time of decommisioning. It was used again shortly after Order 66 to transport three Jedi that were on Naboo at the time of it's release; they were all killed by Republic Forces. And now, the pictures...... I really don't seem to do well with engines! I've tryed putting an extra layer on the ship to try and balance the engine part, but the ship looks like it's been eating too many snausages . By the way, I call sausages snausages. What do you think? Tell me in the comments.

MOC: Intimidator Class Assault Cruiser (Mini)
Admiral-Ackbar replied to Admiral-Ackbar's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Yes, this is only a fanon ship, and therefore this is the only one of it's kind. It is loosely based on both the Republic era cruisers and Empire Star Destoyers. Think of it as a hybrid. -
I have never been a person for MOC's and I've spent £500 on LSW over the years; blindly following the orders given by the instructions of the sets I buy. But recently, I thought to myself, "Hey, I should stop taking orders from a piece of paper!" and so this was created. Judge the bad building techniques if you want, but any MOCer should know how hard your first MOC is, especially with limited pieces. So here goes..... The Intimidator Class Assault Cruiser was used widely by the Galactic Republic during the end of the Clone Wars as a battlecruiser escort and planetry defense ship. After the Rise of the Empire, it was used for a short time as a Heavy Frigate, accompanying the likes of the Imperial-Class Star Destroyer. Armed with merely 3 heavy turbolaser batteries and ten medium laser batteries which were concealed while away from battle, this ship was more a starfighter carrier than full-on warship, and due to the small amount of weaponry and under-whelming size (despite the name) was slightly more maneuverable than it's larger cousin, the Venator Class Battle Cruiser. The crew compliment was extremely high for a ship of it's size carrying more than 10,000 troops as well as 2,000 crew, and the ship was noted as being a 'living nightmare for claustrophobics'. The cruiser carried many varieties of starfighters and land vehicles alike, including 20 AT-TEs and 275 AT-RTs. After the fall of the Galactic Empire, the ship was used by the New Republic as a peace-keeping diplomatic escort and was also outfitted for planetary bombing by pirates who were able to obtain 3 of the cruisers. All 3 were destroyed in 16 ABY. Notable people who used the Intimidator Class included Jedi General Aayla Secura as her Capital Ship following the destruction of both of her Venators, and Jedi Master Yoda. The most well-known ship of this class was the Escalor, which famously managed to destroy four Separatist heavy cruisers without any reinforcements. The ship was finally de-commisioned from military and planetary use in 39 ABY after the ships simultaneously suffered a catastrophic generator failure, however four were kept in service for humanitarian use. And now on to the pictures: Note the overhang of the main engine at the back of the ship. Thanks for looking and please feel free to leave any comments you may have on this creation.
