So a couple weeks ago, I asked you all what should be the next set that I have laying around my room that I should build next. The set that won, at least according to what I read in the comments of it, was General Grievous. I wasn't able to build him at the time I said I was going to because life events got in the way. But yesterday I finally just sat down and got him built. Overall, I think he is a really impressive set. He definitely looks like his film counterpart. He is also bigger than I thought he would be, both in height and size. This helps him look intimidating, which is good because he is a villain in Star Wars. I do think that the way his feet are connected to his legs could've been done better, but that is just a minor nitpick though. I'm really glad I got this set. I just feel bad that I didn't get around to building it for so long.

So Star Wars: The Force Awakens appeared on the Starz channels this last weekend, so I decided to watch it after work because I haven't seen it since it was in theaters. Man, I forgot how great the music is in that movie. All the Star Wars movies have good music IMO, but the music in this one is particularly good. It was actually cool just to see the movie again in general. I really like it a lot. And I bet the Starz channels will be playing the movie a lot for the next week or two, so I'm probably going to be watching it a lot.

Some of you might remember this blog entry I made a few months ago asking which of the sets I had bought that I should build first. I only had three at the time: Tahu Uniter, General Grievous, and Darth Vader. And Tahu won in the end. But now I have six sets just sitting around because I haven't gotten to building them yet. (This can be blamed on a combination of my job, Pokemon Go, Federation Force, and my love of Youtube videos and TV shows. ) But now thanks to school starting up, the slow season is about to start at my job. Better yet, I'm actually getting an extra day off next week because I work all of Labor Day Weekend. Thus, I should have time to build at least one of my un-build sets. And just like the first time, I thought it would be fun to ask my fellow members to vote to see which set I should build. I keep the voting time open until Monday, and I'll build whichever set received the most votes. The sets I have are: General Grievous: 0 Darth Vader: 0 Umarak The Destroyer: 0 Ekimu Titan: 0 Quake Beast: 0 Lava Beast: 0 I will make a blog entry on the winning set after I have built it and post my thoughts on it. I'm curious to see who will win. Vote away!

Here it is, folks. The second trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: Rogue One which will be out in December. One of the things I noticed about it is that it has a darker tone to it than from what we saw with The Force Awakens trailers. I really hope that they keep this tone for the whole movie. I don't mind a few jokes here and there, like the couple they have here in the trailer. But overall I kind of want a darker story to be told in this movie. But that is just me. I also think the visuals look great. I particularly liked the scene that shows our hero's ship flying into what appears to be a giant sandstorm. It kind of gives me a Mad Max: Fury Road vibe. The scene where they are flying through what appears to be a thunderstorm looks great as well. Overall, I enjoyed watching this trailer and it has succeeded in getting me excited to see Rogue One. Now December just has to get here.

So, as some of you may know, I love Lego. I loved it as a kid, and to be honest my love for it hasn't diminished whatsoever with age (in fact, as an adult, I feel like I actually have a bit more admiration/respect for the set designers' creativity). Sadly, a few years back after an incident involving vehicles, I was guilt-tripped into selling off my old collection (which weighed in total around 300 pounds) for a measly...$600. THOUSANDS of dollars' worth of sets for a $600 that barely lasted anything. So, for a good while, I fell out of it. Then the Lego movie came out. The rest, well...I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Sadly, I don't have much to show just yet - but lately I've been getting the creative juices flowing again, so hopefully I'll have more to show in the near future!

Hey everyone, here's a Lego Star Wars Stop Motion I recently made. Hope you enjoy!

Hi all, Like many other fans, I'd love to be able to listen to the original, unaltered tracks of musical score composed by Nathan Furst for the BIONICLE movie trilogy from 2003-2005. Nathan Furst was going to upload more tracks to his YouTube channel from his computer, but unfortunately something happened and he lost all the tracks. I was browsing a couple of months ago and came across this video compiled together by Creative Capers entertainment on this page: http://creativecapers.com/our-work/legos-bionicle-trilogy/ and in the video are various music tracks from the film trilogy compiled together for the video. I suspect that whoever made this video has access to the original music tracks for the movies. I wish it were possible for LEGO to give an alright for the tracks to be released somewhere, maybe put them on Nathan Furst's YouTube channel, just for the fan's sake. Thoughts? -
In honor of May the 4th, what is your favorite Star Wars spin-off in any media (TV, books, games, etc...)? Also I know Star Wars uses credits as currency, but parsec is more recognizable.

I hear there's this mega-popular series called Star Wars. And a movie that came out recently or something... it was on the Internet and such. I don't remember when I first got the idea, but the tagline for that movie made me think of Mata Nui waking up (naturally). So I mashed up the two things just a bit to make this short video. It's nothing grandiose, but I'm sure some of you might appreciate it. LEGO BIONICLE: Mata Nui Awakens ©1984-2016 Toaraga EAM

So, I'm not actually super psyched about it or anything, I just wanted to copy the blog titles preceding this one. GET OFF MY LAWN! ~Tekulo <3

Four thoughts on the Rogue One trailer: 1. It definitely looks different from The Force Awakens, which is a good thing. Let the spin-offs be their own things. 2. Good gravy that Mon Mothma casting is perfect. I honestly thought she was a CG recreation the first time I saw her (Genevieve O'Reilly also played her in Episode III, but I don't even remember her in that so take that how you will). 3. I'm wondering if the Rebel guy with the mustache is Biggs. It looks like him, but I don't think there's been any confirmation. 4. There is a Gonk droid. All is well.

Guess what was released today? The trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story! Here it is for those who haven't seen it yet. As for my thoughts on it, it doesn't give me the same feeling of excitement as the trailers for The Force Awakens did when they were released. But that doesn't mean I'm not excited for this at all, because I do think this is a good trailer and I look forward to seeing the movie when it comes out. Plus, I like what they did with the Star Wars theme music in this. It helps to set the mood of the story IMO. What do you guys think of this trailer?

I was considering giving a riot shield too based on the concept art, but with the guns already present, the shield would have been a little too much. Aside from a Storm Trooper set I MAY consider getting Rey, but I'm really hesitant mainly due to the head/face mold, constraction sets with human faces just feel off. http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/TR8R-Z6-Riot-Baton-Deployed-600289283 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/TR8R-Back-600289236

THE TALK General discussion, questions, out of character nonsense, and starship measuring contests here. Profiles are too be posted here for approval, or PM'ed to one of the staff. Bare bones profile here, recommend using the more detailed one in the main topic. Name: Gender/Species: Only rule is being sensible when it comes to species. Appearance: Description, picture, anything that accurately portrays them works. Skills: What are the good at? Do they have any natural abilities. Personality: What are some of their mannerisms, how do they carry themselves? History: Who are they, where are they from, how did they end up on Taris? This RPG is going to focus very much on the advancement of characters, so starting out as the most powerful ever may hamper interaction. Affiliation: Galactic Empire, New Republic, a lone mercenary, a Hutt Cartel enforcer, who do they call allies, if they have any?

THE GAME It has been only months after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star battlestation, and with it the Galactic Empire’s head. Both the newly christened New Republic and the Empire are scrambling, consolidating power and swathes of territory as star systems pledge allegiance to one side or the other, only to turn at the slightest provocation (or threat of bombardment from the Imperial Navy). The Empire, hit the hardest from the death of Palpatine, has been struggling with infighting as power-hungry bureaucrats attempt to claim the throne for themselves. While the Council of Moffs have taken de facto control, the initial chaos has allowed the New Republic a number of victories to push the Imperials back from the Outer Rim and to their Core strongholds. Though facts are in short supply and rumors are everywhere, the ceaseless churning of the Imperial propaganda machine being of no help, news of the former Rebellion’s win has spread like a wild fire, kicking up smaller, local resistance movements across countless worlds. However, Darth Sidious’ demise has had far more affects than most of the galaxy’s inhabitants can sense, many of which could be devastating to both the fledgling New Republic and weakened Empire. As the waves of darkness, malice, and hate that the Sith Lord had been blanketing the galaxy with dissipate, the Force shines out into void once again, seeking out those who connect to it and igniting old beacons of knowledge. The first to hear this call, unfortunately, were those in the ranks of the Empire’s dark side adepts, the Inquisitors. With Sidious gone, the group of would-be Sith Lords have struck out on a crusade for power, far more than what the previous dark lord would have allowed. This search has led some of their number to the battered world of Taris, where they pursue a Republic agent, and the information which will lead them to the biggest repository of information available: a holocron. THE PLAYERS The New Republic is a fledgling government created from the reorganization of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Spurred by the Empire’s defeat at Endor, and the subsequent mass of star systems rallying to their cause, the New Republic has transformed the fighting force of the Rebellion to a legitimate political power. Its seat of government is positioned on the world of Chandrila, with Mon Mothma serving as Chancellor. The Republic is still relatively small compared to the might of the Galactic Empire, though discord throughout the Imperial powerbase has worked to their advantage. Its military consists mainly of starships loaned by sympathetic and member world’s planetary security forces, though Imperial warships from both captures and defectors have been added to their ranks. The Empire is currently under the command of the Council of Moffs, with the even tighter military grip on member worlds forcing many to seek help from the New Republic. Galactic Empire, a name which sent dread and despair into the hearts of being across the galaxy. The Imperials were severely weakened command-wise with the death of Emperor Palpatine, the Sith Lord’s direct approach to government proving to be a weakness once the head was severed from the body. While theoretically they are still the reigning power in the Galaxy, infighting between Moffs and the slow breakaway of star systems from their iron grip has cut down the Empire’s effective strength immensely. However, an Imperial cruiser parked in orbit is still an effective deterrent to open rebellion. The Inquisitorius, on the other hand, was a name that scarcely few would recognize, and those that did would never speak it aloud. Originally a branch of Imperial Intelligence, the organization has since grown into its own distinct entity, some say even from the Empire itself. The organization is made up of Force-sensitive individuals, all trained in the dark ways of the Sith by the late Darth Sidious and Vader. These acolytes, while not full Sith Lords, are still brutally effective Jedi Killers, and the freedom from their dark master has only made them more dangerous. Their primary objective was to hunt down and either kill or convert the remaining Jedi after Order 66, though they also worked to gather artifacts of the Force and recruit Force-sensitive younglings to their cause. The Inquisitorius is lead by the Grand Inquisitor, and the organization is quite small compared to the other military branches of the Empire. Even so, they do have their own small fleet of black-armored Imperial ships to command, in addition to what power they can take from the Moffs. THE BOARD Your story begins on the Outer Rim world of Taris, a polluted, industrial planet that has been plagued by war over the millennia. The wrecks of starships and the glass craters of orbital bombardment sit side by side with massive skyscrapers of the rich and the battered huts of the poor. While still regarded as a major world, Taris’ influence has dwindled over the years, and suffered even more so under the rule of the Empire. It is technically an Imperial planet, not many Imperials would be caught visiting. The capital city is a gleaming mass of durasteel buildings, rising just above the yellow smog, positioned next to the planet’s major spaceport. Around the spaceport are clusters of ramshackle buildings, houses, and less-than-savory businesses. Every piece of available land that isn’t swamp, and some that is, is taken up by the less fortunate of the planet’s population. On the other end of the city is the Imperial Garrison, which has access to enough Stormtroopers, Imperial Army personnel, and TIE fighters to quell most public riots. The garrison’s commander, however, isn’t too picky when it comes to where the credits in his pocket come from. Is there a way off this dreary world, well, nothing's impossible. The Force is pulling the strings, and always in motion, the future is. THE PIECES Your heroes and villains. Fields in bold are required, others can be added and removed as needed. Name: Age: Gender/Species: Only rule is being sensible when it comes to species. Appearance: Description, picture, anything that accurately portrays them works. Skills: What are the good at? Do they have any natural abilities? Force Abilities: For those that are Force Sensitive. Includes both specific techniques and passive benefits (e.g., Force Lightning or a perception boost respectively). Do note, characters are not going to be throwing X-Wings around without proper training, and most aren’t even going to be aware of the Force to begin with. Equipment: Blasters, comlinks, old rusty knives, etc? Personality: What are some of their mannerisms, how do they carry themselves? History: Who are they, where are they from, how did they end up on Taris? This RPG is going to focus very much on the advancement of characters, so starting out as the most powerful ever may hamper interaction. Ship: Do they own a starship? Affiliation: Galactic Empire, New Republic, a lone mercenary, a Hutt Cartel enforcer, who do they call allies, if they have any? Rank: If part of a larger organization, do note that Imperial Moffs aren’t likely to concern themselves with these events, and the New Republic leadership is too busy trying to keep a government together to notice. Position: Say if they’re part of the crew of a cruiser or on a squad of soldiers. Alignment: Good, evil, justice, money, adventure, knowledge, what do they value? THE RULES BZPower general rules apply, as always folks.Game staff have final say, though the personal messenger system is a powerful tool that should be used if any disagreements form.Keep it classy, that includes OOC behavior and such. Don't be that guy.Your characters are your own and others' are their own, express permission is required by a player before anything drastic is done to their character.However, NPCs, being non-crucial to the progression of story, do not require permission. It is common courtesy, and encouraged, to ask though.Profiles only require a single approval from staff.Metagaming is strictly prohibited, the most common of which is having characters know OOC knowledge that they shouldn't have IC.Deus Ex Machina, and other devices used to get characters out of situations via impossible means are not allowed.

I'm on a hunt for some pretty hard to find stuff for reasonable prices. My big catch would be the Titan Toa Mata Nui set, which I know is a long shot at any decent price. I'm also looking for some Lego Star Wars sets from around 2002ish, anything attack of the clones related. Finally, I am looking for a hardcover copy of Star Wars: A New Dawn, and Heir to the Jedi. -

So there was this one scene where some powder is added to water and then it turns into bread. That was the highlight of the film for me. Ray, Fynn and Pough were interesting characters. Dat bread dough... GET OFF MY LAWN! ~Tekulo <3

I finally got to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens yesterday. I can now move freely throughout the Internet without worrying about accidentally spoiling something from the movie for me. Spoilers follow:

This is my entry to the BBC #72. I tried to make it as accurate as possible, but I also changed up the colors a little. This was mainly making the body black instead of silver. Anyways, here it is.

Flickr Gallery Undoubtedly one of the most iconic Star Wars characters, R2 has been there since Episode 1 and beyond. I know this little droid's shenanigans have made me laugh over and over, and it was great to be able to put him together. I know I'm a little close to the System limit, but I think the level of detail I achieved was worth it.
