My brother and I have always been fascinated by Star Wars and its spaceships🚀, especially the ones we rarely see featured 🥲.
So, we decided to model one ourselves for 3D printing, trying to stay true to the original while making it printable.
We just finished the project with a backdrop to showcase it, and we're really happy with the result.
Curious to hear your thoughts!
Also Contrary to what I first assumed, Comp-Force units do wear helmets of sorts. Although they do not really seem to be fully enclosed like the helmets with Stormtrooper corps personnel, and thus lack any of their internal features such as various sensors, the tongue-activated-comlink, and the Multi-Frequency Targeting and Acquisition System that the Imperial Stormtrooper corps possesses.
Although according to the Rebel Spec-Force handbook by West Endgames, their armor does provide the same protection against things and certain hazards like (Shrapnel, Explosions, Kinetic weapons, Kinetic attacks, and Blaster fire) much like Stormtrooper body armor does.
Although the fact that Standard Comp-Force units seem to not get said "power armor", and it seems to function more like the partial field armor and helmets of Imperial Army Troopers (and Navy Troopers), and it's only the "Veteran" units that get the special power armor is kind of messed up considering the fact that they have an 88% Failure Rate.
Only 12% of young volunteers from the Sub-Adult Group typically passing the Comp-Force Assault training. Roughly 20–25% of recruits died during training exercises.
Along with how when used in the field, Imperial Army field-officers and higher-ups often used Comp-Force units as "soak" units, and missions that would result in high casualties for them, while protecting more experienced troops.
Im asking the important questions here
(An idea I have been working on, no Shadow Hand universe plus stronger Imperial Remnant)
Basically when the Vong were about to invade their agents infiltrated in the Imperial Remnant provoked a rebellion of Axxila’s, Yaga Minor’s and Agamar’s Moffs, weakening the Empire in a short but hard-fought suppression of the New Order Zealots’ rebellion, by the time the Remnant was reorganizing the Vong struck Sernpidal, most the Veragi Trade Route from Veragi to Ciutric was overrun, Imperial fleets and armies were torn apart by the unknown enemy that used Dovin Basals and Organic ships instead of shields and durasteel hulls, after a month Dubrillion’s orbit was also taken by the Vong and they were descending down the Braxant Run towards Anx Minor.
Taken by the desperation of knowing that if the Invaders fully took Dubrillion they could use it as base to strike the Entralla Route and the Remnant’s most important worlds, Grand Admiral Pellaeon and his inner circle authorized the deployment of a bio weapon, which was extremely forbidden by the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty/Bastion Accords, deploying an improved strain of the Krytos Virus (developed by the late Pentastar Alignment) in Dubrillion’s surface once reinforcements were sent to retake the key planet, the Virus (now improved to be air transmitted in comparison to the original strain’s water or physical touch transmission) was devastatingly effective, ravaging the Vong forces in Dubrillion’s surface as well as any of their ships that entered atmosphere… with the cost of also killing nearly the entirety of Dubrillion’s non-human population.
After the Krytos Virus deployment Dubrillion was successfully retaken by the Imperial Remnant, but the invaders already run rampant across Imperial Space, the Imperial Navy struggled to be effective against the new enemy’s unknown technology, loosing hundreds of ships in weeks as the Vong continued their advance from their new transformed worlds.
After extracting the information that the Vong needed new worlds to harvest their ships and beasts from captured invaders, Bastion authorized yet another Treaty-breaking desperate measure, adopting a brutal scorched earth policy, when a planet was in risk or being lost or to the enemy, the present Imperial fleet had stone-carved orders of enacting a full scale Base Delta Zero on the planet’s surface, if circumstances were dire enough even partially or non-evacuated worlds were razed with Orbital Bombardments, all in desperation to slow down the invaders who had already taken a third’s of the Empire’s remaining space.
This measure combined with further deployment of the Krytos Virus slowed the Vong advance, and the later caused horrific casualties among the invaders, as well as any non-human imperial population that could not be evacuated in time, despite all this measures and the Imperial Navy beginning to adapt to their new enemy, the invaders still overrun most of the Remnant’s space, taking more than 12 of the Empire’s remaining sectors.
After several months of carnage, the Vong finally reached the Imperial Remnant’s border with the New Republic, even if they suffered heavy loses against the Krytos Virus in their attempted offensives in the Entralla Route, and were suffering to replenish their forces after the Empire left them nothing but scorched earth to harvest their ships, the Vong Praetorite was still a formidable force, now posed to face an enemy much less willing to amputate a limb to save the body than the Imperial Remnant was.
Wow that was a long thing, what do you think guys?? Its a little project of mine and I think the map I made for it is good enough, feel free to ask any questions in comments or to make any suggestions, have a good day/evening/night!
So, my wife and I finished Tales of the Empire and Tales of the Underworld last night (I know we're behind. But side note only have Andor left and officially ALL of Star Wars shows/movies will be caught up for us) and it got me thinking.
Fans have *regularly* discussed things *from* Legends they miss that's not *in* Canon.
But what about the other way around?
The other day I brought up and talked about the Queen Trilogy and I lamented, after finding out from some fine folks here, that the books don't fit well due to conflicts with the Darth Plaguise book. Of course for my own headcanon/continuity I can do whatever I want and push the trilogy into Legends if I so choose, but I digress.
Made me think, are there other things *from* Canon that people wish could be *in* Legends?
The biggest things for me that I wish Legends had are the Mandalorian show and all of Cad Bane's stuff.
I'm in the camp that doesn't really include TCW with my Legends stuff because it doesn't play nice with the CWMMP or the 2d cartoon, and as a result of that choice Cad Bane is cut too.
But he's so damn cool! His backstory in Tales of the Underworld is solid, albeit very tropey but in a good way. His antics during the Clone Wars are some of my favorite bits. And of course his appearances in Bad Batch and later Book of Boba Fett really help cement his badassery.
If I could pluck him from Canon and put all his stuff in Legends I would. Re-write what I must to make it fit with the CWMMP and drop him in. Maybe even add him to the Bounty Hunter Wars.
Then there's everything from Mandalorian. That show is top tier and the idea of Din Djarin running around with Grogu during those long years of war between the Empire and New Republic, causing mischief and taking bounties is something I'd have loved to see in Legends.
What about you guys? Are there any parts of Canon you either wish was in Legends or personally Headcanon into Legends?
after seeing the new trailer of mandalorian and grogu movie, it feels like at least the live action side of the disneyverse star wars is always the same thing ever since episode 7 in terms of overall diversity from the popular species and it feels so "lonely" or empty or how to say it, like it only uses 90% humans and 10% some random ugly/weird creatures, how come that they have completely left out all of the other most popular humanoid species that are fundamental aspect of the star wars franchise alongside humans in aesthetics/attractivenes, like zabrak, togruta, nautolans, twilek, miliaran, chiss, cathar, zeltron and even pureblood sith wouldnt hurt, other than singular characters that appeared long ago they have done almost nothing else with them despite being more widespread than those creatures and monsters they use for comedic purposes
maybe got used to seeing star wars the old republic mmo which has them everywhere together with humans and one excuse is that most of those species prominent characters in live action are jedi/sith and disney takes place in a period which focuses on new order (which is human organization) but that still doesnt explain why they dont take advantage of non-force users of those species which are the vast majority of their populations still just like with humans,
about costing too much to have them in live action, they definitely dont cost more than those full cgi creatures they make which almost nobody cares about, these species look same as humans in body type and facial structure, characters like ahsoka, thrawn, shaak ti, aayla, kit fisto, agen kolar etc only needed some extra additions and not much cgi,
and about population that again isnt really an excuse because theres at least billions of them for most of these species maybe not as common in the inner galaxy but a lot more common in the outter galaxy and their homeworlds and they definitely heavily outnumber those other random sparse creatures disney uses, and they dont have to use many just a few of them
in jedi survivor for example we see a prominent nautolan female bounty hunter (caij vanda) and she was pretty good character as non-force user, and theres many other examples but not from live action, like the recent maul shadow lord that has a twilek as his apprentice
I've been re-reading all of Zahn's Star Wars work, and I keep stumbling on little things that suggest he wrote some of his books in a different order than they were actually published, sometimes by quite a gap, particularly details in Allegiance, the Thrawn Duology, and Survivor's Quest. It seems like he might have written at least parts of the different books early, then didn't always revise them to reflect changes he made.
Here's an example - in Vision of the Future (1998) set 19 ABY, Mara doesn't know how to use a healing trance and wants Luke to teach her:
> "I'm putting you in a healing trance" Luke explained, his voice sounding oddly distant. “It can be a little slow, but sometimes it’s as effective as a bacta tank.”“I hope this is one of those times,” Mara murmured. Suddenly she was feeling very tired. “Yet another wonderful Jedi trick you’ll have to teach me sometime."
But in Allegiance (2007) set 0 ABY, she's capable of healing trances and other force based healing techniques, as seen in two different scenes:
> She’d been taught a dozen Force techniques for self-healing, but nothing that could be used on others.
And here:
> The chiming of the ship’s proximity alarm, as Mara had prearranged, brought her out of the dreamless sleep of her Force healing trance. She had arrived at Shelkonwa. For a moment she lay quietly on the ship’s fold-down cot, taking quick inventory. She was hungry and thirsty, a typical side effect of healing trances, but the burns and scrapes she’d received at the BloodScars’base were completely gone.
There's a slim chance that this squeaks by because she was referring to Luke's ability to use a healing trance on another person, but even that seems improbable - she wouldn't need him explaining how effective it is, and if she's capable inducing it herself, why would she need Luke to? Seems like an odd oversight.
Is it realistic?

It was part of his video on how he built 1:1 ISD in Minecraft. I highly recommend it.
This is probably such a dumb question but I'm like going insane. My 18th birthday is a week from Saturday and I really want to make an Ani/Obi Mustafar battle cake. I have such a clear vision in my head but can't find the little like not action figures but like mini figures. I know they exist because I've seen them all over Pinterest and tt on mustafar cakes but I've searched everywhere and can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated 😭😭😭
If there were to be adaptations of EU works, both film and television, what would be your overall lineup? Obviously not everything could be adapted but let’s say you had could do multiple trilogies, series, and animated shows
Before I give the run down of the special I'm just going to make anyone interested aware that the full Holiday Special is accessible and free to watch on YouTube. It's about 1 hour and 30 minutes long
Now for the plot. The special takes place shortly after the original Star Wars film ends (A New Hope) and the Wookie's celebration of life is nearing. So Han Solo and Chewbacca make their way to Kashyyyk, but find the Empire is hot on their tail with Darth Vader commanding the pursuit. When Chewbacca doesn't show up on time his family get in touch with Luke Skywalker and hearing the Chewbacca and Han are missing he sets out to find them and shortly after he does the Millennium Falcon is crashed into a nearby swamp world.
As Luke lands he meets Boba Fett who immediately offers to help Luke find his friends and after they reach the Falcon he finds Han has been poisoned and himself becomes poisoned because it was airborne. At this point Boba seeks out an antidote with Chewbacca, but they split up and Boba Fett is revealed to be working for Vader after he privately contacted him and is informed by Vader that the Rebels must be taken alive, but R2-D2 intercepted the transmission. After Boba Fett returns with the antidote he's outed as an Imperial ally and he flees.
This results in a blockade being placed around Kashyyyk as a measure to intercept the Falcon. Under Imperial law Chewbacca's family gets harassed by Imperial Stormtroopers searching for rebels, but soon after they leave and one Trooper is ordered to remain. Han, Chewbacca, and Luke soon arrive and immediately take out the trooper who was in that moment about to kill Chewbacca's son and a merchant then reports to the Empire that the Trooper robbed him blind and took off. At this point the Wookie's celebration of life begins and Chewbacca takes part in it's ceremony with his family.
On the whole I think this plot is actually pretty good. It's just insanely low budget and there's a lot of TV screens. Honestly if the Holiday Special were remade in better quality and removed the "not so Star Wars stuff" it'd probably be a solid short film
Can anyone tell me anything about Darth Talon? I don't know much of anything about her or what made her so evil. All I know she is a Twi'lek.
