-JD-

I kinda voted...no. We could later in time when more people like SW. So, apart from awesome mocs, what could we do to earn the badge? Include the moderator in one of our animations ? Nah, seriously. How about reviewing a set or two, giving info about the upcoming sets etc? What do you think KimT? JD Btw, I was NOT asking for the badge.

Ofcourse I will. Animating is one of my favourite hobbies! Yes that is KimT. He will be in the animation later as well. (runs in and kills some droids, then runs away) Thanks.

I really like it! The idea for the paper airplane is awesome! Keep it up. JD

I have had to stop recently due to school work. I'll be finished by summer.

I just thought while animating that I could add other accesories to the Clones to make them 'unique'. By simply slotting them into the holes you could make them have goggles or visors, although the have no or hardly any articulation. How they fit: And you could have loads of different accesories like trans visors and swimming goggles : Swimming goggles: And a trans yellow visor: I hope I helped you guys make your armies more diverse.

...JD grabbed a vine... (notice the bandage on his head) ...the monsters had reached the top as well...

The mercs could be Drag'dul's troops. I made it in my post.

JD had obliterated the Rodian post were the rocket was fired. He walked around the wreckage examining the dead bodies. Then, a figure walked throught the fire. Drag'dul: About time you showed up, you slimey peice of £@%$. JD: YOU!! How? Drag'dul: After you broke all my limbs and threw me through that portal, I landed in this reality. Luckily in this Rodian post. They were my other selfs troops, but I replaced him as I am sure you did to yours. JD: Don't be so sure. There is always two of me in any reality! Drag'dul: I'll have the pleasure of killing you twice then. Drag'dul charged at JD faster than anything he had seen. JD was thrown off his feet as Drag rammed him. JD landed with a thud. JD: *groan* You super alien or something? You voice sounds part robot. *grunt, gets up* Drag'dul: You could say that. After the soldiers found me I was given bionic legs, arms and body. Basically, you have made me into a cyborg! Drag grabbed JDs throat and started to choke him. Thok and the captain ran from the bushes after hearing the explosion. They saw Drag'dul. Thok: JD! Kill that other one! The two opened fire, but it had no effect. Drag'dul: *absorbs bullets* Oh yes, and I am bullet proof. Every shot I take in makes me stronger! GRAARRR!!!! JD was thrown at Thok and the Captain, who ended up in a pile. They were surrounded by fire. Drag'dul leapt over the flames and landed in front of them. Drag'dul: Impressed? HA HA HA!!!! Drag'dul is back and boy does he mean business!

It is now dark. Some STAPS were on a routine patrol of the area. Droid 1: Well, this is boring. Droid 2: Yeh, this is boring. *Rock falls and hits Droid 1 on the head* Droid 1: OW! What was that? Droid 2: I hope it is not a rock slide! *Looks up and gets squished by monster* Droid 1: Corporal? *turns STAP around* Uh oh. JD: Heads up! Droid 1: GAH! *JD lands on STAP and kicks the droid off the controls and plumeting to its doom* JD: Clankers. JD flies over the canopy of the trees to get a good view and sees a light up ahead. JD: What the?! A rocket zooms past JDs head. JD: Poodoo! Earlier on the Fortitude... Oky: What is that in the sky? pr0: *looks out window* Looks like some huge dragon! Sparky: Sirs, I take it you have never been here before? Thats a Grink'elg. It flies under cover of darkness. Copletely harmless to us humans though, it just likes the local beasts. Jim: That is very big! Too big.... Clone: SIR! I have got something on the scannners! Jim walked to the Clone at the control panel. Jim: Thats a STAP. Shoot it down. Clone: Looks like someone is beating us to it. Someone fired a rocket. It missed. Wait...it's doubling back! JD turned and saw the rocket heading for him. He made the STAP go full speed to the rocket's origin, hoping to destroy whoever was controlling it.

Oky: If those monsters don't appear on those scanners, they could be anywhere. Jim: Perhaps they are advanced lifeforms? Maybe the computers do not recognize them. pr0: That seems the explanation. Jim: Lets decode that message! JD was about half way to the top of the cliff. If he fell, he would die. Suddenly he heard a roaring noise. He looked down and saw the monsters climbing the cliff straight toward him. JD looked around and grabbed onto a vine. He swung back and forth to build up momentum, and let go. He flew upward and grabbed onto a overhang. He pulled himself up and realized he had reached the top. His efforts were useless because the monsters had reached the top as well. He was surrounded. The suns had just dissapeared over the horizon as a huge flying creature flew overhead. It dived down toward the others creatures and picked them up with its claws. JD was left alone, he thought. He watched in awe as the beast flew away. There was one other monster he had not seen. The flying creature had missed one. It jumped from behind the rock and ran at JD. It knocked him off the edge, but could not stop in time. It fell as well.

JD had been taken to the monster's cave. They seemed to be hungry. JD looked around and saw Clone armour and skeletons, some of which where from a species he had never seen. The monsters left the cave, presumably to look for Thok and the Captain. JD got up and walked to the entrance of the cave. He could see for miles. Nothing much to see though except trees and the suns setting. Then he saw a clearing with two figures standing in the middle. He could see the monsters tracks. They were going to attack....at nightfall. JD decided to help them out, but first he would try to reach Oky and the others via com. JD: *into comlink* Dauntless come in. This is Watchtower. I am in a cave 100ft from the ground. Look for a cliff face looking directly at the suns. I'll be there. Attempting to escape before they return. Thok in need of assistance. Watchtower out. JD stared at the suns, wondering if they would be the last beautiful thing he would see, then he started to ascend the cliff. If he could reach the top, he would have a vantage point. Meanwhile, Oky picked up a scattered transmission from JD. Com: -s Watchtower---cave 100ft from- directly --the suns-- be there. Attempting ---they return. Thok in nee-- assistance. Watchto-- out. Oky: Clone...sorry. What's your name? Clone Engineer: I'm Sparks sir. Oky: Right then, Sparks, try to get that transmission cleared up. Sparks: Yes sir, right away! Oky: I'll be in the conference room.

pr0's quick thinking allowed him to escape death. He sliced his way through the wall into the main corridor and ran to the cockpit. After flicking some switches and using JDs amplificatons to reverse boost, the Fortitude stopped before it hit the ground. pr0 regained control and made his way back to the ridge of the ravine. The gang were waiting for the explosion just as the ship came back into view. Everyone sighed with relief. Then there was a rustle in the bushes. Oky: Did you hear that? Jim: What? *rustle* Oky: THAT!!!! JD was saved from being forced to tell Thok the truth after hearing Oky. JD: Have you guys ever seen the old classic, were the monsters come out of the long grass and eat everyone one by one....? *Scared silence* Jim: Get inside! NOW!!!! Everyone ran toward the ridge, waving at pr0. Oblivious to the trouble the gang were in, pr0 waved back with a smile. Thok: He thinks we're saying 'hi'! JD: Pass me that blaster plastic boy! JD snatched the blaster from Bob's captain and shot at the cockpit. pr0 realised they were in trouble and turned the ship around so they could get in. There was a gap of three metres between the open door and the cliff face. Jim ran forward and leapt into the ship. Jim: Come on! Oky and the others managed to jump across just as the enemy was revealed. However, JD, Bob's captain and Thok were left behind. The three turned to see the monsters. They were about two metres tall, four legs and two arms with huge teeth. Thok shot one dead, but JD was grabbed by another and taken into the forest. The Captain tried to follow JD, but was also picked up by one of the monsters. Thok aimed and fired, hitting the beast between its eyes. It was no use though, as more came. The others were forced to watch as Thok and the captain were taken into the forest as well. OKy: pr0! Upload scanners! There! There were three red blobs on the map, moving rapidly. Oky: Thats them! Bob: Lets follow them!

SHOOP DA WOOP! (BLAAAH! ) I just noticed Oky! I am trying to find the spare rebel insignia stickers I have. I just used those rounded half pillar things for the other two engines, and they sit on the armoury roof/ceiling thingy . The rebel stickers are in the same places as the othr ones in the pics. JD

Wouwie, your post seems to not folllow on from mine. Could you change it? JD thought what he could have said. Could he have told them about the future?

WOW! I love it! I especially like the way he holds the gun. He looks so bad megablocks in the position with Boba Fett! Great work! JD

JD entered the cockpit and saw Oky trying to keep the ship in control. JD: Guys, let me do this. I had one of these in the future...in fact it was almost exactly like this one! Jim: GAH! *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* We lost secondary right engine! The Fortitude began to spin out of control. JD: Thats it! Oky, pull the levers down on the right! Jim! Turn on the boost to the remaining right engine! Jim: Are you crazy?! We'll crash! JD: JUST DO IT NOW!!! Jim activated the boost and the ship shot forward and staightened out. Jim: PULL UP OKY! Oky: I can't! JD: QUIT THE BOOST!!! The ship suddenly slowed sending Jim and JD flying forward. Jim landed in a box of grenades and JD smashed his head on the control panel. The ship landed on some dense shrubs which softened the landing, but the Fortitude skidded. Oky saw the ravine ahead and flick all the power off buttons. The ship was so close to the edge. Oky ducked and held his head. The rumbling stopped. After a few seconds Oky slowly peered out of the cockpit. It looked like he was floating, but really the ship was slightely overhanging the ravine. Oky turned and saw Jim consumed in a pile of grenades. Oky rushed over to Jim. Oky: You okay? Jim: Yes, I think so. They got up and looked around. Jim: Not much damage in here...wait, where is JD? They looked down and saw JD lying in the doorway, in a pool of blood. Jim: MED DROID! Oky knelt by JD. Oky: Dammit not again! JD? JD wake up! Jim: The Med. droid is in pieces. Oky: I got a bandage. Oky wrapped it round JD's head. After lying him in his bed, Jim started to hear him talking. JD: Death Star....Palpatine....TRAITOR! The clones killed them all! No...it's Darth Vader! Not now! Jim: What? What is it JD? Oky, come here quickly! Oky: What is it? Jim: Listen to him. He keeps on saying this... JD: Death Star....Palpatine....TRAITOR! The clones killed them all. Darth Vader is here! Run, quick! Oky and Jim listened intently. Oky: Could he mean Chancellor Palpatine? Jim: No idea.... JD sat up and yelled: SKYWALKER!!!! JD breathed quickly, oblivious to what he had been saying. JD: What the?! Not again! *he saw Jim and Oky looking at him in thought.* What did I say, guys? Jim: I think you know more than we do. JD fell silent.

Great moc! *Hinckley puts fruit in blender and the lid shuts on his hand. The power randomly turns on and Hinckley looses his hand* Hinckley: Meh, I'll get another one. *Puts remaining hand in pocket and pulls out a spare hand, he slots it in place* Btw, for your movie, is it stop motion? If so, PM me for any advice. JD

Well, I have only told Jim and Oky the secret so I could tell the rest when I actually meet Jaina again. DON'T LET YOUR CHARACTERS SAY JIM AND OKY!!!! JD Btw, what is O.O.C?

Great idea! Great technique! Perhaps you could make the motor blend in by adding some pipes and machinery around it. JD

JD: Years ago....at the beginning of the clone wars, there was a mission I was sent on which was to rescue the rest of my elite squad from bounty hunters. When I got there...they were all dead, and the bounty hunters had set a trap. Fortunately I managed to escape after a week of torture and interigation. I was followed by Drag'Dul, the bounty hunter I fought on Felucia. A woman rescued me, taking me into her house and hiding me. Immediately I was struck by her beauty. ( ) We fled to Coruscant and we went into hiding for several weeks. In that time we had a very close relationship. Just....just as we got settled in an apartment in one of those huge skyscrapers...there was a huge explosion. It ripped a chunk out of the building, killing hundreds of civilians down below. It was the Rodians commanded by Drag'Dul. There was..too many of them. I was held back by his soldiers and...........he.... Oky: That peice of slime! Jim: JD, I'm sorr-- JD: Look! I don't wanna talk about it anymore. Please.... With that, JD walked out the room, leaving a worried Jim and Oky behind him. Jim: I have never seen him like that. Oky: Should we tell the others? JD went into the conference room at sat down. He could not get her out of his head. Then he realized, she is still alive in this reality. Perhaps he could see her...No. We have a mission to do.

Nice find you two!!! The figs still look incomplete though, as the ewoks have no markings on their faces and Nute still looks too white. But hey, the sets look awesome!

I think we meet you in the next few posts.

I may film the bit with Ahsoka, but the whole movie! That would be a HUGE project! I might do it in the summer holidays.... JD

As JD packed his backpack by his bed, he pondered on the whereabouts of Drag'Dul (the BH) . JD started to sweat, it was another flashback. No! Not now! The others will find out about her! I cannot let them see I am a coward! he said to himself. Everything seemed to sway side to side. Then, he fainted. Oky Wan entered the room and saw JD on the floor. First post, huzzah!

I have now reached the point were the last walker is destoyed. WOOT!!! Only 2 mins of footage left!
