wow, Findswoman, another pair of great customs!

That Wiorkettle is one damn strange looking character!  Who designed that card?  Great execution of the character, but it does look a bit goofy. 

and the Sheltay Retrac is EXCELLENT!  Another stellar job with the soft goods!  Really, really great!

My only small complaint is still my strong dislike of most POTF2 Leia heads, especially those obnoxious-looking celebration ones.  but that's hardly your fault.  The craftsman ship is really first rate, a wonderful job all around.  My only suggestion would be the same one I gave to johnboy - a pilot Padme head instead of the POTF2.  but I certainly am aware that it's not always feasible to find whatever parts you want whenever you want them.

Awesome chapter, In Rem!  My notes are a bit short (as it's a short chapter), but I loved it!!

It's been a while since we've had an update, so I thought I'd chime in with a few more specific comments.

as always, Longhorn, this is a terrific, terrific series.

A few thoughts -

Chapter 31 - You do such a great job with the established SW characters that I can hear the actors' voices in my head.  Another great job.  Even your talky scenes are great fun.  And all of these moments dovetail very nicely into the established lore of the films. They really do feel part of the "canon". 

Tiny, tiny nitpick - I had trouble with Palpatine saying "Sure!" to Anakin in response to the discussion about leading the 501st.  seems like he'd say something like "Certainly" instead.  "Sure" sounds too informal for the chancellor.

Chapter 32 - Wow, I can't tell you how much I love this scene!  The briefing is just awesome in every way.  I love the rows of seats, seeing all those clones together, the Jedi off to the side.  Gree is fantastic!  I love the fact that we're seeing a high ranking clone plan and brief everyone about a mission.  Simply wonderful on all levels.  And the brief anakin/obi wan dialogue is great, too, showing the humor and banter that we got to see only too briefly in ROTS and, to a much lesser extent, AOTC.

The shot of the rancor in the cage is excellent.  Very frightening, it has a very creepy, monster-movie feel to it.

So many of the shots in this scene are extremely well-composed.  The shots of Gree briefing, Gree talking to Cody, over Gree's shoulder, etc.  You turn a simply talking scene into a visual triumph.  Subtle, but very, very effective.

The Cody business is similarly great.  You really have a wonderful gift for dialogue.  the scene crackles with humor and the characterizations are spot on.  I continue to be amazed with your writing.  "Try not to shoot him by accident."  Great!! 

That's all for now.....boy, after re-reading this, I am REALLY excited for the next few chapters.  Keep 'em coming!!

I can't believe you wasted a cool "Dark Empire Luke" body on "Background filler"!!!  I love the ribbed shirt torso!  Damn you!

The Rodian is AWESOME.  That new hammerhead body looks terrific, I haven't seen the Tatooine wave yet, alas.

Borocca.  Nice to see him again.  Too bad he won't be too long for this world.  His head looks just SLIGHTLY on the small side for his massive body.  But still great work all around!

I've traded with Ryan several times and he's always FANTASTIC.  Really great to deal with, all around swell guy.

The structure looks really great.  I can't wait to see the finished version.

This is going to be terrific to watch coming together.

Wow!!!!!!   GOD DAMNED BEAUTIFUL!!!

I love it.  It's my favorite Rykrof!  (don't tell Chewie!  hee hee!)

that is a gorgeous and unbelievably imaginative figure.  I'm so going to try to copy that style and use my spare Djas Puhr body to make a bad-ass imp.

How did you make the rank badge, by the way?  I'd PAY you if you could mass produce a few of those babies for me.  Seriously, let me know.
