    Interesting, the poster was probably going in the trash either way. I guess they ran out of the Yoda posters. I want a Han Holo. ;-)

    I got the Chima set too. And the Han minifig. The poster was a collectible minifig poster, showing all the collectible minifig. Is that really what the May the 4th poster is? I don't realy care if it isn't, just curious beasue it has nothing to do with Star Wars.

    So you don't think there is a Star Wars aesthetic? There is no doubt in my mind that there is. Just like there is a Star Trek aesthetic or a TRON aesthetic, etc. I think it is a lot of fun to see people use their imagination to build something that would fit snugly into the Star Wars universe. That was what I liked so much about the FBTB bounty hunter contests. You could tell which entries were trying to fit into Star Wars and which weren't. It was fun. Sure there might be someone who comes along and says something is a Star Wars ship that looks nothing like Star Wars, but when someone nails it, it is really cool. Even the Collectible Minifig Podracer contest were Star Wars MOCs even though they were silly. Any custom Podracer is a Star Wars MOC, because podracers only exist in the Star Wars universe.

    I've built a lot of Star Wars MOCs over the last year. Mostly posted on Flickr and all EU stuff or stuff I've made up. I guess there are some who wouldn't consider them Star Wars, because they aren't vehicles from the movies. That doesn't bother me at all. It is fun for me to try to build something original, but still distinctly Star Wars. I like to build the official sets too, but they get torn down pretty quickly, to use my imagination to build something else. That is what makes LEGO so enjoyable to me. I can't believe there are so many people saying they aren't building because other people have done it better or bigger or with more picture editing. I always find well done MOCs with good presentation to be inspiring, not intimidating. It isn't a contest (well, not always). Have fun and build. Also, I feel that there are more MOCers posting elsewhere, Flickr and MOCpages than here.

    5. Sparkart - Boba's Back.....Pack - 2 points - I just really like this build. 14. Lobot - The Resurrection of the Emperor - 1 point - The lighting is cool and the cavernous feel comes out well. 17. Naugem - A Moment In Coruscant - 1 point - The forced perspective was a good idea and fairly well done. I kind of wish there was a spaceship docked or flying by, but still good. 18. Pablo94 - The Statue of Darth Vader - 1 point - Excellent shaping on the statue. I have to say though that this "memorial" would probably be bombed the week after it opened. Vader might have turned light in the end, but he was a mass murderer before that.

    11. sunnyx - T5-B Heavy Ion Tank - 2 points - The story is lacking for sure, but the build with all the power functions is on a different level of complexity than the rest. 12. pedro - Escape from Nar Shaddaa - 3 points - This build has it all, action, Jedi, creatures, speeders, ships, etc. and it is all well done. Overall a lot of nice, fun builds. Good job everyone.

    Thanks for the compliment. I don't think I'll be creating directions. I could take a couple pictures of the inards possibly though, maybe give you a pretty good idea of how to get there. Thanks.

    This was one of my favorites. If I would have been able to vote for it I would have. Nice job.
  9. maedhros1980
    I think I commented on flickr, but the builds falling down are a really cool effect. Nothing beats a little armegedon MOC.
  10. maedhros1980
    I actually haven't seen the movie, but I recgonized this instantly. Well done.
  11. maedhros1980
    The cow udders are what really separate this mech from others. They crack me up. Nice job on the build.
  12. maedhros1980
    The shape and theme of this build are awesome. Well deserved placing.
  13. maedhros1980
    naugem, pedro, Esurient: Thanks guys. Thanks for the soundtrack derpingsworth.
  14. maedhros1980
    I guess everyone with Boba in there Future of Stars MOC is right, Boba is going to be back (click here). Though, not exactly a part of the new trilogy... so maybe pseudo-right.
  15. maedhros1980
    Cool idea to have the micro city in the background.
  16. maedhros1980
    This MOC is the bomb. The ship is awesome (by far my favorite part of the build) and great action. This is the most exciting entry in my opinion. Everyone seems to think Boba will be back... ugh.

    Thanks guys. The Jedi starfighters were based off a sketch I found in a book titled The Jedi Path. I really liked how it reminded me of old trilogy starfighters (Y-wing, A-wing, etc.) but definitely unique. The Sith fighter was built more like how I typically build, with a loose idea of how I want it to look and then seeing how close I can get there with the pieces I have. The TIE Advance is (hopefully obviously) my main inspiration for the Sith starfighter with a touch of color and more aggressiveness.

    Good entry and I really like the river and small waterfall. I personally hope that Fett doesn't come back into the new movies though. Good luck in the contest.
  19. maedhros1980
    Good to see Chewbacca is "still hanging around with this loser" to quote Lando. Good luck in the contest.
  20. maedhros1980
    They may not make this into a movie, but I could definitely see Disney making this into a float for their daily parades throught Disneyland and Disneyworld. Fun build and good luck in the contest.

    Nice shaping on the statue. This would be a controversial monument for sure and probably the object of much graffiti and vandalism. Nice build and good luck.
  22. maedhros1980
    Thanks. Yeah, I actually made the red Jed starfighter before I knew about this contest (or eurobricks for that matter... I'm a little slow). Anyway, like I said on flickr, I built that model because I was hoping to see something like it in the new Episodes. Then I saw this contest and realized that I started that build after this contest started and could enter it. It was fun building an action scene. The photography was a little challenging, but I worked it out eventually with minimal editing. I still think the top picture lacks a feel of depth. Maybe I should have set it up on the floor instead of the table to spread everything out. And you're right, I should have added some flickfire missiles. What was I thinking?
  23. maedhros1980
    That graphic is well done and helpfully. I figured that top part was the bridge... But that cleared it all up. I kind of like the shaping and asymmetry. As you can probably tell I tend towards studless building, but I can appreciate those who embrace them and do it well. Nice build. Good luck in them contest.

    Star Wars Episode VIII - Ice Field Chase Ten years after the destruction of the second Death Star, Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn are building up the New Jedi Order. They had just christened the first two Jedi starfighters when they are called to the planet Taanab to oversee negotiations for the New Repubic. One of the ambassadors is assassinated by an unknown Sith and the ensuing chase leads into the ice field surrounding Taanab's moon. (Imagine the music played while the Falcon navigated the asteroid field in ESB while viewing.) You can find clearer, larger, and additional photos of the starfighters and some of their functions in my flickr stream here. I figure if there was a chase through an asteroid belt in Episode II and a chase through an asteroid field in Episode V, then there will be a similar scene in Episode VIII. I'm predicting an ice field this time. Best of luck to everyone in the contest, a lot of good entries.

    Nice base. The tracks/launching system for the tie fighters is a cool detail. Best of luck.
