I really like this idea, though I wish Thrawn had a different expression. He's always portrayed as cool and collected in the books. This looks like he is always ready to kill someone for looking at him wrong

Man, if Lego made an actual Terracotta figure I'd probably buy an army of them!

My contest entry is up!

See the rest of the story: Season 1 Season 2 Junker's Fee Welcome to Fondor Fondor City Nightlife Many Bothans Died... Well At Least One Fixing to Clear the Mind Thermal Detonator Pot-Pie After I passed the diner it was a short walk to the recruitment office. I told the desk clerk that I wanted to sign up as a Stormtrooper. The clerk took my name and handed me a clip board. After I had finished filling out the 18 pages of questions I handed it back to the clerk who ushered me into a back waiting area. I sat down in the drab room and kept telling myself that I was doing the right thing. Every time I had tried to be a force for good on my own I had ended up hurting people. Yeoman lost his leg. My brother lost his life. And what about all the innocent stormtroopers I had killed along the way? When would the violence end? As I stewed in my thoughts an officer and a stormtrooper entered the waiting area. “Josh, is it?” asked the officer. “I’m Commander Relve and I’ll be overseeing your trial.” I looked at him for a moment sure that I had just misunderstood him. “We’ve been trying to track you down since that incident on Cloud City. How nice of you to just walk into our offices and turn yourself in. Once the clerk entered your name in the system I was altered to your presence. I’m glad you stuck around long enough for me to personally capture you.” I knew that I was trapped. What a fool I had been! I looked toward the door but saw that it was sealed. “Alright, you have me. Now what are you going to do with me?” I asked. “As I said, I will be in charge of your trial. Immediately after will be your execution” Commander Relve responded. “A wonderful justice system you have here” I answered. “Oh yes,” he continued, “we make sure that all those who break Imperial law face the swiftest of justice.” With that he waved his hand and the trooper took me around the corner and motioned me up the ladder to the 2nd floor. I climbed hoping to be able to make a break for it when I got to the landing but I immediately found another trooper waiting for me. He motioned me into my cell and sealed the door behind me. The cell had to be one of the smallest the Empire had on Fondor. I could barely turn around in it. I sat on my bed and started to rethink through my choice. As I mused I felt something in my pocket. I felt around and pulled out a yellow focusing crystal. I stared at it and started to remember a story from my past… In The Past Growing up in Corellia I used to play with a kid named Zack. His father was a farmer who worked hard just to put food on their table. We were sitting in a tree watching his father work on their meiloorun patch. As we had since my father gave it to me, we were debating the origins of my focusing crystal. “I tell you!” Zack exclaimed. “It’s got to be from a lightsaber!” “Don’t you know that the Jedi have been extinct for years?” I responded. “That’s just what the Empire says” Zack answered. “My dad tells me that there are some still some out there, protecting the weak and defending justice!” “It’s far more likely that it’s from a mining laser” was my reply. “There are many mining companies on Corellia.” We continued to debate my crystals origins when two stormtroopers stopped Zack’s dad. They talked to him for a short while before motioning him away from the farm and down the road. We jumped down and ran towards the troopers. “Wait!” shouted Zack. “Where are you taking my dad!?” “Is this the son?” the trooper asked into his helmet. After getting an answer he said, “Alright, you’re going to have to come with us.” “Why?” I asked. “What has Zack done?” “His father has been convicted of treason against the Empire” the trooper answered. “And because of his father’s treason, his son is under arrest also.” “Zack’s family are just simple farmers!” I said. “They haven’t done anything worth arresting them over! Let them go!” “I can’t go against my orders” the trooper replied. “I have to follow what my commanding officer tells me to do.” “But what has Zack done?” I pleaded. “He hasn’t done anything against you! Let him go!” The trooper thought for a moment. He looked at his sergeant taking Zack’s father away and then looked back at us boys. “Alright,” he said. “I can’t do anything for your friend’s dad. But I won’t mention in my report that we found his son. If you can, help him get off this planet. That’s all I can do.” With that he turned and walked away. Zack turned and started crying, knowing he would probably never see his dad again. All I could do was let him know I was there. I had little else I could comfort him with. The Present All those memories came rushing back to me as I looked at the crystal. I put it back in my pocket and thought about my dilemma. Obviously the first thing I needed to do was get out of here. But almost as obvious was that I was mistaken when I thought I needed to sign up with the Empire to do good. Maybe there were some good men behind the Stormtrooper masks. But they weren’t under their own authority. They had to obey orders. If I wanted to stand for justice, then I couldn’t be shackled by the evil that existed in the Empire. But I also didn’t want to kill people needlessly. This was something I was going to have to think about more. OoC: For all of you who were hoping that I was switching to the Empire, I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm a Rebel through and through! I never meant for people to think I was switching sides, but I'm afraid my character's story twist combined with my awesome new title caused much confusion. However, I'm never one to shy away from using confusion to my advantage A couple more pictures: Lots more can be seen on my flickr.

Sounds perfect, I find it's always better to just keep building than to question whether or not to make a particular build

You might run into storyline inconsistencies depending on how detailed your explanation of each build is, but you can post away as goatman said! You don't have to wait for the contest to end to post freebuilds that take place after the contest. The only rule that comes close to being broken there is the one that says you can only get credit for 4 freebuilds per episode. And even then you can still post more freebuilds, you just won't get XP for them

We just are realistic about real life time constraints

Love the bowler! I think TLG should use that idea some day...

I really like your Islander!

It depends on which part of the forum you're on. I've seen a lot of adults who are post college here, but I've also seen a lot who are still students. Here and in the GoH forum I feel like we have a mix of about 50/50.

Sorry, I didn't mean to rumble anything! I know you didn't intend to mix yellows and fleshies, but I still get that feeling when I look at the dwarf.

Thanks legoloco! I'm glad you like my civilian figs! I'm glad you guys like the figs, especially the music box man! Yes, the axe is a little impractical, but after seeing Ecc's Minotaur's axe I didn't think it was too far fetched for GoH

Thanks guys! Glad you like the speeder! Thank you as always for your feedback and input BEAVeR! I won't take time to respond to all of your comments but I will pick a couple to reply to. for the windows, I think you've mentioned the "use no clear pieces and leave it empty and open" idea before. I'm just not fond of that idea. However, I'll keep trying to improve on my windows and get them to a point where everyone likes them! As for the clutter in the shop, I wanted it to feel more like an empty warehouse than a cluttered shop. Anywhere there should be more clutter (such as where my character has been bunking out) can be excused as being outside the shot of the build Finally, as for the allegiance of my character, it has yet to be seen what will finally happen to him!

It actually has been kinda quiet for an episode. I think it's due to a lot of players being students also and having class work right now plus the fact that we have had Thanksgiving and Christmas to worry about here in the States!

I've added you to the roster floed! Also, I've updated everyone else's stats. I started counting everyone's xp from scratch and I found a few discrepancies. A couple people's XP actually went down (don't worry too much, it was only a few XP points for those who did suffer this malady and I was one of them!) If you all can look at your character's stats and let me know if something is wrong with it and let me know that'd be great!

I'm loving your design!

I won! So cool! Thanks CopMike!

Great entry! I really like your Exile and Demon.

As there is a lot of discussion regarding the effect Ep7 will have on Lego sets already going on here I took the liberty of merging your topic with this one.

Amazing! I would have to say the best fleshie set out there so far! I love the Clan Cheiftain, Bannerman, Tomb King, and Nomad Raid. What you did with the Nomad using pieces with dark flesh tones to match his skin color is pure awesomeness! I do have a complaint about the Dwarf though. I think the yellow torso stands out to starkly. I know it's supposed to look like a shirt, but I can't help feeling like someone mixed fleshies and yellows by accident everytime I look at him. I'm also not a fan of the wizard beard used with the dwarf helmets. It leaves the sides of the neck too exposed But overall I would still say you have some of the best fig combos! It comes in that brown color for the Neimodian soldier in one of the Clone Wars sets.

I merged your topic here as it has to do with 2015 sets. Even if it is rumor/wish list

Thanks for sharing your love of all things Lego here on Eurobricks! I've moved your topic to the brickflicks section as it fits better here and you're more likely to get better feedback. Welcome!

I'm loving your Sightless! Great idea there!
