CHEWIE - Wow, I thought you did have Photoshop! You really do learn something new every day!

Matt_Fury - Thanks! The story has gone through SO many changes. I originally envisioned a Prequel era story with Hasbro figures. Then I decided to use Legos since my Lego army outnumbers my Hasbro army. Then I wrote a story with these characters that was my version of Shadows of the Empire. I started to hate that, and wrote what we have now.

Update on Part 2: I need to get my lazy bum up and start shooting. :p However, I finished building a  diorama of a Star Destroyer bridge for future scenes, so it all works out good.

It's $2.05 locally, but around $2.15 along IH-35 and farther into Austin...

And that Clone helmet isn't even painted in that photo! How cheap!

Around here, Wal-Mart is filled with Jedi, Wookiees, Nemoidians, and Palpatines. Target is the same, but replace the Jedi with Bail and Mon. I've seen the Destroyer Droid once, and Mas Amedda about three times.

Wal-Mart actually had an assload of Clones a week ago, mostly #6, but I managed to find a few #41s. Now, they've cut their SW section in half and moved it right in between Barbie and Olsen Twin dolls. Yeah, that makes me feel cool. Most of their toy space was given to giant inflatable pools too...

Target looks like they haven't restocked in ages. No Deluxe in sight, and each figure is in the exact place it was the last time I was there. I hope they restock soon, but its been 2 weeks, so who knows.

I haven't been to TRU in a few months. I don't like that store. You have to dig in those stupid crates to find anything, and it's hard to get down in there because they come up to your chest. Plus, it smells bad in there.

Wow, that's amazing! I think the yellow parts are a bit too bright, but it looks like its because of the flash. But still, WOW!

I'm glad you like them, Lance. I was afraid the people who use Photoshop would kindly rip me apart for the backgrounds. If you look closely, you can notice my hackjobs, especially on the last shot. And each space shot should look like that as I only have MS Paint on my computer, so I'm glad you're a fan of them.

And only now, after he informed me, do I realize that Vator was being sarcastic. 

Thanks for the comments! I'm glad you're all enjoying it.

Vator - I can't give much away right now, but we'll see the inauguration of Mon Mothma. She has been elected as the head of the new Senate. She doesn't have any more power than regular senators, she's more like the Head Speaker. More on this later though.

Quazar - I never really thought about the head, to tell you the truth. I just kind of put it there to catch the thugs by surprise. But now that I think about it, I suppose that I could have left it out altogether.

I was going to give the thugs names, but decided not to at the last minute, since they both play very tiny roles. But I agree that names would make them seem more defined. There are tons of characters in the movies that have names that aren't revealed. But not to worry, almost every other character in the future parts has a name.

CHEWIE/Quazar - I'll work on the backgrounds more for the next parts. My ideal vision for this small base was really what I had here, a small landing pad and a small building. I'm improving with background effects (I think I did the space shots well for MS Paint :p), so we'll certainly seeing more planetary environments as backgrounds in future chapters.

But I'm glad you guys liked it!

BTW, CHEWIE, I really have a new respect for you and your photonovels (and everyone else who has ever made one as well). I was getting really stressed towards the end with certain shots not coming out right and currently having to replace camera batteries. You must have a ton of patience to have 10 novels under your belt.

Happy Birthday! What a great present, getting to fix the server.
