Where to begin?!
1. I really like the changes to Trisek. I thought he was good before, but toning him down and giving him the cloak make him a little more menacing. I'm also not sure I commented on this before, but nice work on the changes to his skin tone. No chance he'll be confused with his POTJ cousin.
2. Marliss is a great little concept figure. Any chance we can get a recipe on her? Also, is that hair or a hood? It looks great either way, but with the goggles it almost looks like a hood of some kind. She has that thug look with the color scheme, pouches and straps that you seem to be so good at creating consistently. I might steal this idea for the K.O.E. series as I have an odd idea for a little faction of my own, and someone like Marliss would fit right in
3. Alpha is sweet, CHEWIE. I'm not really familiar with his story, though. Should he have a scop/ant on his helmet? The weathering also looks very stock/Hasbro (that's probably because it is?) Nothing wrong with the off-the-shelf weathering, I just happen to know you're weathering tends to look better.
4. Freelo rocks - not just your figures of him, but the character you've created for him. I do agree with you that the arms looks a *tad* long, but I don't know that I'd resort to hacking him up to fix that. If he's going to appear in R.E. this way you can make some alterations to your photo angles to account for the arms.
5. Commander Skywalker is a great addition to your military Jedi ranks, and I cannot wait to see how he cameos in R.E. I'm not a huge fan of the Evo head, but given that he'll probably be hacking up seppies whenever he has the armor on, it's probably appropriate.
Good job with the right hand, although it makes me think you could have left armor off the right arm altogether... that may have looked really odd, though. Hmmm...
6. Your Tredwell Medical Droid scares the hell out of me. I don't know why, but I find it scary as all get out.
Nice work!
7. Quite possibly the coolest rendering of Shaak Ti ever... all those guys pointing to the chicks in Clone armor should look to Ti to see how it's done.
I also like that you didn't feel like you needed to alter the armor for the benefit of the female Jedi. If they wanted to wear armor, I'm pretty sure they would have just picked up what the Clones were wearing and wouldn't have invested too much in custom fitting things. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with this particular custom. I hope ST makes it into R.E., too, as I'd love to see her in ground combat before it's all over.
8. Judiss is one I'm just flat jealous over. I took one of my extra Ponda heads and tried to sculpt the "fang" details into the butt cheeks on his face. It didnt' work. I think your repaint is far more effective! (My Ponda head ended up a bare Aqualish skull, which is kinda cool in its own way... look for it to show up in K.O.E. as a prop before too long
)
9. The Labor Droid is an interesting concept. Does it ride on the treads most of the time and only launch off its base when absolutely necessary? If there was a way, it'd be neat to see pinchers on the ends of the arms to make him more of an FX-7-ish droid without the launching ability. Dedicate him to his base and make him a field surgeon.
He looks like he could take (and has taken) a blaster bolt or two without much of a problem.
I hope you feel better, man. I didn't comment elsewhere as I have opted to hit all your new additions here. Forgive the lack of comments on RS.
As always, very nice work.
