Well I'm back from my 2 vacations. Time to get back to work on the next update. But first....
Dark Phoenix: Thanx for stopping by and leaving some feedback. The special effects are the work of YESTERDAY808, as he called himself on the RS boards. Credit definetely goes to him for bringing the battle to life. He will continue to work on the upcoming battle sequences. Sorry about the grammer error, let me know where it is.
Jedistyle:Glad the 501st scene worked. I wanted to get them invlove finally now that the Security measure passed. You will se more of them in future chapters. I'd hope to make every Clone division in my story a little different each time. The 212th Battalion is one of the best. Shade has been a realy character to work with. he is extremely loyal to the Republic, but he is also growing tired of the beaucracy. He wants to finish the job, without having his hands tied.
BrentS: Thanx for the feedback regarding teh dialogue. That part is always the toughest. And with simple backgrounds and enviornments, I try to take various angles to give each pic a different viewpoint. As mentioned above, each clone division is a little bit different, as the War progressed. Mostly influenced by their Commander or Jedi, the 501st are a comlpetely different breed of Clones. The future chapters will describe this in more detail.
CloneCommander1: Good eye spotting the different breeds of Clone troopers. This will remain important for the rest of the story. Shade's story will start up again in the next couple of chapters. Thanx for the compliment on the storytelling - much appreciated!
Roton7: Great compliments! There will be more battle scenes upcoming!
SmartyPants: The 501st will be heavily seen in this final Act. I've been wanting to do their chapters this whole time. The rancor is stil there...somewhere. And lesson of the chapter: don't get separated when visiting different worlds!
212th Battalion: Many thanx! One of my fav updates.
Quazar: Good to hear from you - it's been a long time. Round 1 of the Battle of Oner goes to OOM-12 and the droids. I tried to show some strategy on both sides to explain the action better. More action yet to come...
CHEWIE: All the storylines will continue in this last Act, but the action will become more prevalant. Everything has been building to the last part of the story. I commented on your comments on my previous post.
Artoo: Jar Jar?? Sorry, can't say that I actually own a Jar Jar figure! The 501st have a complicated story, but are just in the formation stages here. I am taking some lee-way with this part of the story since the 501st seem to be everywhere at the end of Ep III and no where at the end of EP II. Shade is getting frustrated at being told what to do and what not to do by the Jedi. He wants to end this war. And thanx for the feedback about OOM-12. You were the only person to comment on him. He was necessary to explain the attack plan of the droids. The Clones do care about one another, but they also know their roles. Glad you lie Anakin's part. Ki and Bacara are busy right now! And yes, C3PO will be appearing very soon.
Thanx again for all the compliments. I get a lot more feedback and views here at JD then I ever do at RS, even though this is a smaller community.
Working on the outline for the next 3 chapters. Stay tuned....
