Wow, I was so busy updating the public sheets so everyone could see the map I forgot to post the winners info! Cat A winner: Yperio_Bricks - 20 free points for the Mercs @Yperio_Bricks @Jody Meyer Cat B winner: Professor Thaum - 30 free points for the Dark Side @Professor Thaum Let me know here where you want your points to go and I'll update the map. We'll say deadline is 3 weeks from now to make your decision.

You can submit MOCs at any time. When you post use the grid of the planet you're building on O17 for Naboo and use DS to show you're building for the Dark Side. So that example would look like [O17-DS] MOC Title. It just helps the leadership see right away what's being built and for whom. After you post your MOC here on EB then fill out this Google form so we can record the judges scores and keep track of the map.

I think most of our players are having time challenges. @Jody Meyer @Professor Thaum What would you think about extending the contest another month?

Great questions! First, yes, you can join the Dark Side. Just make an introduction in the Dark Side thread. And then you can build on any planets in any of the red squares including the lighter red like L9.

Just a little over a week left to get your entries in!

We'd love to have you! However, we've shifted the game to the new Mysteries forum. Come check it out here. You'll probably be interested in the Dark Side faction.

Guys, some of you are really pushing the limit on posting what could be considered spoilers for this latest episode. Please be considerate to those who haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

My thoughts exactly. Glad everyone is using spoilers so far. Please continue to do that till at least Tuesday for this final episode. Then it's fair game for any Mando info.

You're both not adding anything to the forum right now. The difference is @Goofster's comment was not directed at a specific person. It wasn't constructive. But it's not your job to call him out on it. That's a job for the Moderators. If you feel a post is out of place please use the "Report Post" option in the top right corner of the post. Please keep comments directed more towards Lego and less toward specific people. @Anio is welcome to his opinion. He included links to back up his point of view which is a lot more than I can say for most of the rest of the posts in the past few days.

For anyone interested in trying to win a free copy of the new X-Wing make sure you check out our May 4th contest.

Gideon 1 point Louis of Nutwood 1 point Captain Flint 1 point

I was wondering that too. Have they ever used that technique in an official Lego set before?

I don't care what Disney says. Anything written by Zahn should be canon Sure, Disney doesn't consider it canon. But Zahn has said he sees people being able to watch Rebels and read his newer Thrawn books and move right into Heir to the Empire. Nothing he's produced has contradicted what's in the Heir trilogy and beyond. Ahsoka could be what finally begins to contradict it, but I hope Zahn has enough sway over the arc of his characters that it doesn't.

I just hope they don't overwrite anything from the Heir To the Empire trilogy. One of the best pieces of Star Wars literature. They're clearly aware of Thrawn's heritage as they even used the phrase "heir to the empire" in the trailer.

Careful, all 30 of those are active members of this thread We have a lot of different countries and cultures represented on EB. So please keep in mind that some people see certain comments as "arguing" and others see them as "stating opinion." A good set of rules for everyone on the forum is 1) Don't Take Offense and 2) Give People The Benefit of the Doubt. In my opinion, on this forum it's only arguing if people start to get upset. Otherwise we're just sharing strongly held opinions.

Currently no updates. Dark Side is halfway to taking M10. And The Mercs are 3/4 of the way to taking S10. And everyone can see this data on the Public Sheet

Everyone is welcome to join the May the 4th contest and also post your builds here for Mysteries.

Maybe you're excited about the new X-Wing. Maybe you're hyped by the newest Mandalorian episode. Or maybe you're marking the days off your calendar waiting for May the 4th to arrive. No matter your reason, it's a great time to build Star Wars! Come check out this year's May the 4th contest and build for your chance to win the new UCS X-Wing!

May the 4th be with you. Welcome to Eurobrick's annual Star Wars contest! There are many ways to participate, and lots of ways to win! Yes, we're starting the contest a little early this year. But it goes through May 4th so that's all that counts, right!?! General Rules The contest runs April 5th through June 5th. As long as it's still June 5th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. All entries must be new builds not shown online or publicly before April 4th, 2023. Only official LEGO elements should be used. Avoid third party parts or clone bricks. Digital entries will be allowed. All digital entries must use only existing pieces in existing colors. Entries may be updated as long as the contest is still open. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Watto’s Junkyard forum with the title prefixed by, "[M4-23 - category] - entry name". (For example, "[M4-23 - 12x12 Vignette] – Sarlacc Pit".) You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. It is also prohibited to use the Lego logo in any picture. The only size restrictions are the Minifigure Habitat and the Nature is After You categories. The other 2 categories can be any size or scale. As this is a Star Wars contest all entries need to be Star Wars related. A link should be included in this thread to ensure your entry is counted. This contest is open to all EB members, even if they joined EB after the contest has begun, with the exception of the Star Wars staff, who are not eligible to win prizes. Each contestant can only win 1 category prize and 1 individual prize, if multiple categories are won by the same contestant, he/she chooses which prize to receive and the other prizes will be awarded to the runner ups. You can use this stamp on your photos if you'd like: Judging Method There will be a team judges who will score builds based on the following criteria: Category: Pass/Fail Does your build fit the category? Majority vote of the judges decides pass/fail if the vote isn't unanimous. Storytelling ?/10 Does your build communicate a story all on it's own? Aesthetics ?/10 Detailing, build composition, and visual impact. Technical Ability ?/10 How well you use building techniques. SNOT, NPU, and movement are all elements of this category. Final Score: ?/30 Individual Awards Grand Admiral: awarded to the competitor with the highest total score combined from all entered categories. To win the Grand Admiral prize you must enter at least 3 categories. Categories Minifigure Habitat Create 3 or more purist Star Wars minifigures and a habitat for them. These minifigures should fit in context with their habitat. Maybe you create a room from the Jedi Temple with 3 Jedi. Or maybe a hanger bay with 2 mechanics and 1 pilot. The habitat should be no larger than 16x16x16. No odd combination baseplate footprints allowed. The largest a side may be is 16 studs. The tallest it may be is 16 studs. The habitat may be smaller than 16x16x16. Example: Imperial Ship Create a ship that would fit the Imperial aesthetic. You can use an existing ship design or create your own. You can create a TIE variant, shuttle variant, or something unique. Your ship must seat at least 1 human pilot and may be no larger than a Lambda class shuttle. So no Stardestroyers. A setting for your vehicle is allowed but not required. Example: Rogue Clone Show a Clone going against the norm. You can show a scene already represented in film media like Rex helping Ahsoka. Or you can create your own clone in his own scenario. Any scenario from the Clone Wars through Rebels is acceptable. Maybe the clone has "malfunctioned" and is killing Jedi before Order 66 is officially given. Or maybe your clone is refusing to obey the Empire anymore as we've seen in Bad Batch. Example: Nature Is After You! Create a scene from a jungle or forest planet and show why it's a dangerous place. You can create a scene from Felucia and show a plant eating someone. Or you can create a scene from Endor and show Ewoks eating a stormtrooper. Minimum size is 16x16. No maximum requirement. Example: Prizes Minifigure Habitat - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 35 Euro as their prize like: Imperial Ship - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 65 Euro as their prize like: Rogue Clone - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 90 Euro as their prize like: Nature Is After You! - First place wins a set or sets with an equivalent value up to 140 Euro as their prize like: Grand Admiral - A set or sets with an equivalent value up to 240 Euro as their prize like: Fine Print By entering, you consent to Eurobricks reposting your entry on Eurobricks' social media channels, crediting you. Prizes are supplied by TLG and are subject to the rules below. Prize values are determined in accordance with German Shop at Home and prizes are subject to availability on the Shop at Home in the winners' local countries. Some back and forth with Eurobricks staff might be required to select an available prize. Prizes could take 8-10 weeks to arrive but we will keep you updated as much as we are able.

Friendly reminder to not post anything spoilery from today's episode until next Wed. Thank you to everyone who's been using spoiler tags so far.

Great to have you on board @A_Goodman! Make sure you check out our current Episode challenge going on right now. We've also got some exciting updates/additions to the game coming soon.

I tried to tighten down what was posted there and we had almost nothing posted last year. I say we loosen the restrictions a little and see if we can find a better balance. So yes, feel free to post smaller leaks there.

Hence why we have a news thread. I don't have time to comb. But anyone is welcome to post a summary/round-up in that thread at any point.

As a long time member and contributor on the forum I believe it's not your intention to escalate the situation. I'm just going to use your comment as a reminder to everyone here that each is entitled to his/her own opinion. It doesn't add any value to the discussion to put down anyone else's opinion about a Lego set. Don't link to leaks. It's a small action that could have huge ramifications for EB. So it's a big deal. Please don't do it again.

Watch who you're calling ancient! That's a large number of us on the forum TLG literally pays people to inspect those details. Quality control is slacking and it's fair to point that out.
