What about this old slope-piece skirt? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb033&idColor=11&name=Black Slope 65 2 x 2 x 2 with Bottom Tube with Minifigure Dress / Skirt / Robe, Light Bluish Gray Panel Pattern&category=[Slope, Decorated]#T=C&C=11 It was 100% perfect for 2015 Asaaj Ventress (based on 2003's Clone Wars shorts), and although isn't anywhere near as accurate for Morgan Elsbeth, it could at least provide some dynamic texture.

There's some lovely new customs over at Firestartoys.com but oh my goodness their prices have become ridiculous. Their custom helmets cost nearly double what they used to, and at £50.00 there's no way I'd fork out for their new Filoni X-Wing pilot, as lovely as he is. I wish they could have just printed up heads and helmets for individual purchase as part of their custom range of rebel pilot heads and helmets (which haven't had any individual additions to the range in years now), instead of making them only available as part of a ridiculously expensive figure. https://www.firestartoys.com/products/custom-design-minifigure-sw-wolven-wingman.html

Seriously though... holy wow

Very nicely done but also thoroughly disappointing. Disappointing because now I can see what the ship actually looks like, it means the show hasn't just made R-41 Starchasers canon after all... which was what I excitedly thought they were during the episode

Looks absolutely stunning, incredible work. And I can't go praising your U-Wing without also praising your hangar too, which is magnificent!

Have them however you want them, they're your little minifigures, make them how you prefer :) By the same rationale as you, I've done the exact opposite and have the chef legs on all our white uniformed Imperials, including Thrawn and a random other Grand Admiral I put together, simply because I like the contrast of colours, and because it makes all our white uniformed officers... er, uniform haha. Here's two aboard the officer's lounge in our massively extended Conveyex:

As awesome as Firestar Toys' custom figure is (https://www.firestartoys.com/products/custom-design-minifigure-sw-forge-keeper.html), I just can't justify spending £40.00 on a minifigure, simple as that. However for a few quid from them on 3 custom parts (fur collar, kama and printed arms), was able to vastly improve the official Lego version of the Armourer... I'm hoping FST will eventually sell proper custom arms for the Armourer (as they do for many other Mandalorian figures), but I also have a nagging feeling they won't to ensure interest is maintained in their in-house custom figure that features screen-accurate arms.

Fantastic collection, I REALLY like that you've made them in the System retail style with all of the standard play features, rather than the (albeit incredibly impressive) overly realistic ones that so many others produce for display purposes. These prove how easily Lego themselves could produce these classic fighters and makes them feel far more achievable in replicating. Curious though, how come you didn't reference the 2016 Darth Vader's TIE from 75150 in your Advanced build, which I thought was a great little set in the spirit of the Solo TIE Fighter?

Beautifully done. If you ever needed a side by side comparison, this may help to confirm how great a job you did:

Ok well why not just use the blaster that Sabina Wren always came with (Tech will be be coming with one anyway): https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=62885&idColor=11#T=C&C=11

If you’re not a purist then Arealight do the Commando blaster itself. It’s currently readily available from Firestar Toys: https://www.firestartoys.com/Shop/Minifigure-Weapons/Arealight-Guns/41861-Arealight-~-Spec-Ops-Blaster-~-Black.html

Yeah they fit fine, here's one on a mudtrooper in the prison wagon of our massively extended Conveyex:

Ignoring the questionable wording in this discussion, in answer to the query here's my modified Cara Dune and hair choice (I've shown her before): Hair piece is the black version of this from Firestar Toys, but the black version is currently out of stock: https://www.firestartoys.com/Shop/Minifigure-Parts/Minifigure-Female-Hair/47173-Minifigure-Hair-Short-with-Sweeping-Fringe.html Gun and armour also from Firestar Toys, arms from Simon Baz Green Lantern mini figure and print erased. https://www.firestartoys.com/Shop/Minifigure-Weapons/Brickarms-Guns/11946-Brickarms-~-MG~34-and-Saddle-Drum-~-Black.html https://www.firestartoys.com/Shop/Minifigure-Bodywear/Custom-Design-Minifigure-Pauldrons/38367-Arealight-~-Two-Sided-Pauldron-~-Dark-Blue-Flexible-Plastic.html https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb3740c01&idColor=11#T=C&C=11

I literally had no idea that was a thing!!!! Just ordered one, thank you so much for enlightening me, god this'll make erasing faces and precise prints so much easier, I kept getting a sore wrist from trying to rub one of my son's homework erasers into all the little grooves!

Even the ones based in the USA, there’s one there for $3.94? There's a few other American sellers there too. Well how about Lando's 2009 ROTJ general's torso, which is very similar since it's actually based on the same uniform and tunic style that both characters wore in the movie: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb0610c01&idColor=69#T=S&C=69&O={"color":69,"iconly":0} But forget my advice with the hiker's dual-molded legs, just remembered they're light tan not dark tan, hence why I never used them.
