Traitor Claimer, FN-2199, TR-8R, whatever... In my mind, his name will always be Competent Trooper!
This scene was pure eye candy. It would've been nice if the Stormtrooper had more lines to exchange with Finn as they fought, but at least the end of the fight was very satisfactory!
If you're interested to see the before-after effects, you can see it here and my super cheap photo studio set up here.
And can anyone spot the special character cameo in this photo?
An experiment, I had this idea of trying to get this scene but all in camera. Possibly might re-do it.
Every Star Wars movie has to end with a duel, and The Force Awakens delivered! The absence of Prequel fight choreography added humanity and relatability to the conflict between the heroes and villains. And there was a clear reason why they were fighting (unlike Phantom Menace). I loved every second of it!
Also, I caved and bought Rey's Speeder today. It was sort of on sale and I used all the points on my store card, so it was cheap. No regrets!
This is my last shot of the year.
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
I put off uploading this shot for a long time because I never felt satisfied with it. My friend Mark and Taka said it looked alright so I guess that was good enough.
It was refreshing to see competent and lethal Stormtroopers in a Star Wars movie, wasn't it? A lot of people uploaded their version of FN-2199 whipping out his electified tonfa to the internet because it was such a cool moment. In my opinion, however, what was more badass than just spinning a baton around was when he abandoned his shield and perfectly functional gun, throwing them to either side. A normal Stormtrooper doesn't just choose to make a killing personal by electing hand-to-hand combat. I haven't seen anyone make this moment before so I was hoping to be the first.
Even if you didn't pick up on the symbolic imagery in the new Star Wars movie, your brain noticed it.
As Finn walks across the sterile desert landscape of Jakku, he strips away his armor one piece at a time, revealing his true good natured inner self. He is finalizing his decision to abandon his former affiliation with villainy.
And on a pragmatic level, that desert was hot. Wearing Stormtrooper armor must have been uncomfortable.
If you're interested, I posted a photo of how I took this shot here.
Well after seeing the you-know-what 2nd teaser.... I had had to join in and do a shot.
It's a really quick & rough edit, but what the hell :)
When I first saw Rey's speeder I was thinking: 'Wow, now that just looks like a chocolate ice pop with 2 engines'. Personally, I would very much like a refreshing ice pop on a hot desert planet like Jakku. And I think Rey would like one too! That's why I build her one for the The Brothers Brick Pimp Rey's Speeder Contest. Couldn't resist to take a bite out of it.
#Episode7. This is photo 7 in a sequence that will build into an Album. At Burgess Park Lake (21 June 2020) a Cormorant chased a Great Crested Grebe. At first I didn't know why then I noticed the Grebe was carrying a big fish. The question is what happend next: to the Grebe and the Fish? See #Episode8 tomorrow...
I am in love with my new Finn and Rey minifigs. I was super stoked to get a new maskless Kylo Ren minifig as well.
I try not to get into spoilers, so I won't go into details of this part of the story. Having that said, of the entire film this scene moved me the most. The combination of scenery, the pressing nature of the situation, all the characters reaching their emotional peak, and the swelling music really hit me in the right spot.
If you're interested, I posted a photo of how I took this shot here.
As soon as I saw these C3PO polybags I was on a mission to get one.
Love the printing on the Arms & Legs.
The Force Awakens had a lot of "whoa" moments for me, but this one was silent. Finn's bravery sent a tremor down my spine. Finn looked terrified; like he had no idea what he was doing. All he knew was that he was defending his friend. He also knew he was probably gonna die doing so. This was his defining moment. Finn had reached the end of his character arc in this story. He started out as a villain and ended a true hero. Where will Finn's character go from here?
If you're interested, I posted a photo of how I took this shot here.
And if you're also interested, here is a before/after editing comparison shot.
Here's an updated version of Rey flying the Falcon on Jakku! This cockpit works much better than the rendered version!
It wasn't as hot today as it has been so I decided to bring out my custom Resistance Base to recreate this shot with Finn and Poe (and BB-8 who always seems to be in the background) from the film. I've really been wanting to utilize natural light lately in my photos, plus I have't set up many photos with Poe Dameron so I hope you all enjoy!
Like many of my fellow Legographers I felt compelled to take a LEGO photo commemorating the 2nd, and AMAZING teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Here we have (presumably) Luke with his ever-trusty, and apparently rusty astromech droid R2-D2.
I really tried hard to capture this shot as closely to the original as possible. Not just in content and pose, but composition, lighting, background, atmosphere, and the final color grade. There is a very distinct look to this. Aside from the obvious orange and blue, there is a lot of greens and yellows to incorporate. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results. Please let me know what you guys think! And boy! What a teaser! Huh?!??!!?!?!
Was anyone else reminded of that time Han shot at Vader in Empire Strikes Back? I have a theory that they wanted Vader to stop the laser bolt in midair but the special effects technology to do so just wasn't there. They opted for Vader's robot hand to take the blasts instead and shelved the idea until the special effects technology caught up.
I was talking about this shot with Takamichi Irie. Taka pointed out that Kylo Ren did not slip into a highly focused, meditative state while holding the laser bolt like how Yoda would when he was lifting an X-Wing out of the swamp. Kylo Ren was walking and talking the entire time he was holding that bolt. Apparently he's a multitasker. Taka didn't like it. I agree with Taka, but I still liked it. It was something I've never seen before and above all else, it was a simple idea that worked.
This shot was the hardest to create so far, and at the same time, my favorite Force Awakens shot. The set up and photoshoot were simple. Adding all the effects and adjusting the lighting was tough. For example, the tiny laser bolt reflections in the Stormtroopers' armor are totally artificial, which was not easy to create. I also don't have the official Poe minifig yet, so I substituted it with a Kili head, some black hair, Finn's torso, and some regular pants.
If you're interested, you can see my setup here. And a before/after comparison can be found here.
Can anyone spot the character cameo in this photo?
This is a MOC I built last Summer for the exhibition at the #comicconstuttgart. It shows Rey's home on Jakku, which is quite unique inside the fallen AT-AT Hellhound Two at the Graveyard of Giants. It has also an full interior of the troop compartment, which is used by Rey as a living room. Detail pictures will follow. All photos taken by klickklack (www.klickklack.smugmug.com)
Life size LEGO replica of Kylo Ren's crossguard lightsaber from Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens.
Overall length: 41"
Blade length: 30"
Build time: ~4 hours
Blade design inspired by Cole Edmonson's replica of Darth Vader's lightsaber. Like Cole's lightsaber, Kylo Ren's lightsaber can be swung and slashed without breaking.
Rey's speeder reminded me of a sunglasses case. And after I saw the movie, the speeder looked like Luke's land speeder flipped on its side. Nevertheless, it is my favorite craft of the entire film.
The design was inspired by de-marco's design.
And coincidentally, Andrew King uploaded his version of Rey's speeder at the same time as me. Check it out!
The All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT walker, is a four-legged transport and combat vehicle used by the Imperial ground forces. Standing over 73½ feet tall with blast-impervious armor plating, these massive constructs are used as much for psychological effect as they are for tactical advantage. First seen on the planet Hoth in episode 5-The Empire Strikes Back (1980), these massive and imposing machines were also seen in episode 6-Return of the Jedi (1983), episode 7-The Force Awakens (2015), and in the animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014).
This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

To be continued ...
Starting off the year with a smaller build.
This was a very iconic scene in the new Star Wars movie and I'm sure I'm not the only builder who has done his or her own version of this scene. I know that it's very simplistic, but the actual scene is as well.
The walker leg/foot was fun to build, and it does extend back a bit behind Rey. I may upgrade this build in the future, but for now I like it. I'm not sure if this is a keeper or not, though. Thoughts?
Enjoy!
