Commander Smith

What all sets were in the find? Looks amazing! o_O

I feel for you, bro. But my jaw fell into my current WIP model, so let me retrieve it...

You could definitely start a Lego Ideas campaign with this. If people knew about it, it would have to become a set. It's that good.

I like that. I remember that scene from the books. Nice tiled floor and good walls. Very orderly and Imperial.

If you mean the thing near the lower left, in the original release of the Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary, it was explained in Chapter 4, "Beyond the Brick," that that was an unreleased sketch model of the Yavin 4 base. Cheers, fmmmlee

When does episode 8 come out (of SoNE, not SW LOL)?

Well, Kodan, my next story might be having the Rebels stealing a new Imperial walker....maybe even yours!

Thanks! I think my specialty is speeders and walkers, since they don't require a lot of planning or bricks. I just build what I want!

Err...it is you.

Nice storyline. I'll try to incorporate this story-ness into my builds too.

I have that same 2X4. It might say "patent pend." on it somewhere.

Don't worry, more is definitely on the way, it's just bedtime! P.S. See my backstory freebuild for more information on the clones. They deserted, refusing to comply with Order 66.

Briefing Room, Rogue Clone Base, Nar Eurbrikka: Clone Commander: "Troops, while doing some recon work, I found the cannon the Imperials are using to shell our main base. It's manned by recruits and not our brothers, so take no prisoners." Clone Scout: "Sir, can I take my new sniper rifle? Pleeease?" Commander: "Sure, but remember, it'll be heavy." Scout: "Yay!" (Stormtrooper to himself, listening): "I'd better get back to base and tell the commander. That's an important artillery piece!" Landing Pad, Rogue base: Commander: "Get a move on there, Tix!" Scout (Tix): "This sniper rifle is...[grunt]...heavy!" Commander: "Told you. Now get in the RIG!" [Nomenclature: RIG, Rapid Insertion Gunship, my own invention] Tix: "Sure...Hey! Why do you get the speeder bike?" Commander: "Because, well, I'm the commander and I assign vehicles. Get in the ship!" Meanwhile... Forest between Rogue base and Imperial Outpost Stormtrooper: "Ouch! Oohh..myanklemyanklemyankle!!! Darned planet! Now I can't move, and our gun will be destroyed. Arghh!!" Imperial Outpost: Commander Smith: "Eat fried artillery cannon, stormies!" [Cue loud explosion] Smith: "Hey! There's one less dead stormtrooper than there should be! Let's keep a sharp eye out on the way back to base." Forest between Rogue base and Imperial Outpost Smith: "Here he is...[in a loud voice] You! Are you a clone or a recruit!" Stormtrooper: "Just a clone." Smith: "How would you like to have a life where you get to shoot the guys who enslaved you, drive huge gunships, and make those worthless recruits eat lasers?" Stormtrooper: "Really? Awesome!!" Smith: "I'm Commander Smith. Let's get you some new armor." To be continued... The speeder is an Aratech Industries LRS-14 (non-canon). It does have steering vanes; the grooves in the wheel piece act as them. The steering rod doubles as a Mark IV armor-piercing laser cannon, which gets one shot before it needs to recharge. Thanks, and as always, please comment! ---fmmmlee---
