212 -

Not bad. Like you mentioned in over in the other thread, you have some focus issues. Try the tips I posted there.  I think with some attention to focus you'll end up with some great layouts here.

There isn't too much a story here... sort of a one-shot action comic. I like it, but the problem with one-shots is they have to REALLY sell themselves, meaning it has to be big, loud, and explosive... it's going to burn out quick, so don't hold back. :)

Keep tweaking. You're on your way.

Hmm, it was okay, but there were some issues that rubbed me the wrong way.

First, and I CANNNOT stress this enough, PLEASE use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization! This is one of my biggest online pet peeves. Your sentences give your work somewhat of an unproffessional feel, and it also looks like it's just one large sentence. So work on that. Perhaps add some HTML code as well, like bolding the speaker's name, or italicize the actions that characters make.

Also, try to make sure that your pictures are posted in a separate line, and not right after the text ends. This makes some of the text go down to the bottom of the picture, and it makes your sentences harder to read.

You already said you'll be improving your camera work, so that's good. Also, try improving the lighting.

Hopefully with the advice given, you'll be on your way to creating a better photonovel! :)

I agree with what's been said so far about spelling, grammar, etc.

And the picture quality, as well. 

I do really like the "funeral" shot with the helmets on the rifles.  Very well-done!

Try to get some cheap posterboard to cover up things like carpeting.  Makes the images that much more convincing.  In this case, if you had white posterboard AND used the snowy backdrop, the results would have been quite good.  However, we got to see bits of the carpet sneaking into the frame.
 
However, at least right now, with the large number of Clone Trooper based photonovels here and on ther sites, I think you need to develop some kind of unique hook or premise to set this apart.  From a story point of view, this certainly isn't "bad" at all, but it does feel a little familiar.

See if there's something you can do to make this stand out a little bit or at least give us a little more emphasis on your characters so they really come to life.

I look forward to seeing your next story, as I am sure you will continue to improve.

I agree with what everyone has said, and look forward to seeing future updates.  But the best part is that you are seeking advice and tips.  That, along with practice is the best way to improve.

Good work, looking forward to more!

I must say, your story's quality has really improved greatly. Your background was much better, though it was somewhat plain. The picture quality was so much better. I really like the new twist with Palpatine. I am curious, though. Is this supposed to be an alternate Revenge of the Sith?

212th Battalion, you really need to work on the grammar/spelling some more... do you have spell check on Word?  Even a few little things like "Kenobi" aren't capitalized when they should be.

Not trying to knock your work, just offering suggestions.

Good to see you working on creating a more diorama feel for some of the shots.
