Wow, that's a blast from the past - I haven't seen that sort of packaging for ages.
I don't have any Star Wars Lego sets (unless you class Blind Bags or Micro Kits attached on Lego magazines) but WAY back around 2002 I purchased the Lego City float plane set which I converted into a Jedi Starfighter....sorta...



I guess it wasn't a bad build considering I had no special bespoke parts. It even had retractable landing gear underneath....but no Astromech dome

So when's the movie coming out?

Hi Everyone,

This just popped up in my YouTube recommendations and I thought it rather neat. At first I thought the red sticks were lightsaber pieces....I was wrong!

Lol!  I love the lone surviving Storm Trooper at the end 

I know first hand that you can contact LEGO group and order parts. Pick-a-brick, though novel, is $#!%. So you just have to know the go-around. I don't know if they will do bulk pricing though.
But what the heck? Air bubbles in the saber blades goes back to the beginning. I should know.


If I can find it, I'll get a pic of my heavily modified Droid Fighter (OG TPM release) {Later renamed Vuture Droid.}. Yes, 26yo MOC that is still together.



I got and loved it. I thought the wings were a particularly fun piece, so I started messing with different configurations. Sadly, I could only do so much with 4 parts.....so I bought another one just to get more wings. It was the first, and ONLY, time (until recently) that I ever purposely bought a multiple of a set. I added the extra wing pieces in a configuration that looked like a spider from a top profile. But I still wasn't done. So then I bought 2 MOAR. I had a blast experimenting with different wing configurations. I was also going through a Rogue Squadron phase. And owing to the release of the code to unlock the N-1 Starfighter, it got me thinking....how fun would it be to have a droid fighter in the fleet? And then I started to reconfigure to hold a pilot. THEN I thought the engines were too wimpy for what I was designing. Ultimately, the finished design ended up being about 40% of the original design. It ended up being one of my all-time master pieces. I love it. And should I ever get off my but and finish my script....and get it sold and produced...it will definitely be in the movie.

Like you, I LOVE my LEGO MOCs 

Looking good too, Logos!

Hey FT, that Jedi Starfighter MOC is wonderful!

And I agree: we're ALL waiting on Logos' movie 

[Darth Logos]

I really miss MOCing. I need to fully document some of my surviving builds because I was particularly proud of them. Then they can be shredded. A little difficult right now with a toddler running amok.

As for the movie....I have 2.

One (trilogy) is based on the sci-fi verse of the Wipeout game franchise. Think MarioKart in low-altitude high speed aircraft, on tracks that rival most roller coasters. This is the where my MOC designs will come into play. Some of which I specifically designed on this premise. I know racing is difficult to work into a feature length plot, so the movies will primarily focus around a drama orbiting the races (since it will take place over a period of years).


The second is a Star Wars movie...that will actually feel like Star Wars. {Shameless self-insert} It will center around Darth Logos during the time of SWTOR. I need to do some more research into the OCEU to make sure I don't break lore (because I F#$^ing hate that). But I want to dive into aspects of Force use that few if any really think about (both light and dark and realms in between), but mainly I want Sith being Sith on a level that make Sidious look like a total newb. And no it won't just be "I'm a bad guy and I do bad things cuz I'm a bad guy." It will be adherence to the Sith Code. Power is only the middle of the equation; its acquisition has to serve a greater ultimate purpose on the path to victory. So that should be fun. I might be able to sell Disney on the notion of running it as a Legends story (because nobody gives a wet fart about DSW). Then I won't have to play by their BS lore, and actually make a story that fans can just go watch, be entertained by, and then go research to death after should they so choose. Not the Disney formula of "watch all of our crap, read all of our crap, and play all of our crap games to know why this story hinges on something small, making the galaxy an even tinier place."

And I'm always looking for ways to shoehorn my friends into at least cameo roles, just so they can be in a movie. Spots for all my forum peeps.
