Wow, how did I miss that book? It was one of the first I read. I've added it to the list now. Ssi-Ruuk away!

A late entry that I want people to enjoy, but which will not be counted for the Rebels overall score.

Before I begin this post, I want to say that I know I am late to the contest. I'm sorry to all my fellow Rebel players. I misread the due date and thought I had more time. BEAVeR has graciously allowed my entry to be judged along with the rest of the entries, BUT, it will not count for points or towards the Rebel's score. I hope you enjoy the build never-the-less. "Why did I ever agree to this mission?" Yeoman wondered. The Alliance had a number of operatives on the sun baked planet of Tatooine, all here to foil the Black Sun's plans. Yeoman had volunteered to sabotage one of the Black Sun's racers, but that was before he remembered that being in the sun for this long was bad for his aquatic skin. As the pod zipped past, Yeoman could begin to see that his work was taking effect. Fire was coming out of the right engine and Yeoman knew this pod-racer's odds just got really slim. (If you want to know more about Yeoman, go back to this post and you can find the other parts of his story)

What's the name of the book? Maybe I can make an exception to the list.

There are two different contests going on right now, that could be what's confusing you. This contest is in Watto's Junkyard though, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Maybe you can post links to help clarify? Either style is fine!

Same here, checked "mop" and your past entries all showed up correctly for me.

I and a Moderator tested the tags and they still work for both us of. I would recommend trying a different browser to see if the problem is that.

UPDATE! The deadline has been extended to Aug 2nd! UPDATE! The prizes have been listed! What has, for decades now, been the history of the Star Wars universe after Return of the Jedi will officially be replaced this December. The story of the Expanded Universe has been told through dozens of books, some of them good and some of the not-so-good. But for many Star Wars fans, those books have been on equal footing with the movies. It has been long enough now since Lucas announced that he would be re-writing Star Wars history, that those of us who are EU fans have come to terms with the fact. But before Star Wars 7 is released, I want to celebrate the former EU with a contest. Because the EU covers too large an amount of time, this contest will only deal with events taking place between 4 ABY to 24 ABY (ABY=After the Battle of Yavin). The contest will also only include content found in books, not video games or e-novellas. Each entry will need to cite which book it is from (exact page numbers not necessary). The following is a list of books that can be used for this contest: For those who are less familiar with the EU I would suggest checking out Wikipedia and Wookieepedia's sections on the New Republic era as that is where all the books you can build from are found. Category A: Show an interaction between the good guys and the bad guys. Maybe Jacen and Jaina Solo are trying to escape from Qorl, the TIE pilot. Maybe Corran Horn is helping to defeat the ghost of Exar Kun. Maybe Talon Karrde is trying to survive an encounter with Admiral Thrawn. Or maybe the Rogue Squadron is facing off against Ysanne Isard. Whichever characters you choose, this category should be about the interaction between them. This is not a contest about for making the best custom EU minifigs. This category will be judged based on how recognizable the setting and interaction of the characters is. Category B: Build a ship from the EU. This should be a ship that does not appear in the films but only in the EU. Exceptions to this would be ships owned by specific people such as Kyp Durron’s X-Wing or Ysanne Isard’s Super Star Destroyer the Lusankya. Other exceptions would be variations on ships like the Stealth X-Wing. Examples of ships that are only in the EU would be the Wild Karrde, the Sun Crusher, the K-Wing, TIE-uglies, etc. Category C: This category is all about the creatures of the EU. Build a brick built Ysalamir of Myrkr, a Crystal Spider from the glitterstim spice mines of Kessel, one of Talon Karrde’s Vornskr, a battle hydra used by Exar Kun, or any other creature from the EU. Alternately, you could use a creature already molded by Lego and create the setting from the EU in which the creature is found. You could build the wampa pack led by the one-armed wampa on Hoth, a Hapan horde of rancors, or other scenes. Rules One entry per member and per category. You can enter all categories with different entries, but you'll be eligible to receive only one prize. There are no size restrictions for any of the categories. The contest will run from 4th May to 2nd Aug, 2015. As long as it's still Aug 1st somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified. This contest is open to all EB members, even if they joined EB after the contest has begun, with the exception of the Star Wars staff, who are not eligible to win prizes. All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to being entered in the contest. You may be asked by a staff member to change your entry if it is too similar to an earlier creation. All entries must be built from real LEGO. No clone brands, no third-party custom parts. Digital entries will be allowed. All digital entries must use only existing pieces in existing colors. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Watto’s Junkyard forum, the title prefixed by, "[sWEU] – category - entry name". (For example, "[sWEU] – Cat. A. - Jacen and Jaina’s Harrowing Escape".) A link must also be included in this thread for your entry to count. Post pictures no larger than 800x640, but you may link to bigger pictures. You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. It is also prohibited to use the Lego logo in any picture. All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. Until the deadline has passed, you are allowed to change and improve your MOC. For each category, EB staff will choose the top 25, and then EB members will vote for their favorite entry among that selection. Prizes First place in Cat. A will win 75053 The Ghost First place in Cat. B will win 75046 Coruscant Police Gunship First place in Cat. C will win 75045 Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon

Gorgeous!

Hi IGUNNUK33LU, we'd love to have you join the Empire, but you can only join as a Stormtrooper or TIE Pilot. You can find out more about these rules here. As you gain rank within the Empire your character has more freedom to do as he pleases. For instance, when you first start out it would probably be unlikely that your character would work with a bounty hunter (though not impossible if you can create the story for it!), but after you gain a rank or two you would easily be able to explain why your character is working with a bounty hunter or doing bounty hunter type activities. You should also checkout the Empire's main page, as well as this freebuild which gives you a taste for what's allowed as you gain ranks.

It's a possible similarity

Yes, you were my inspiration for him.

Custom stickers, decals, or pad printing for minifgs will all be allowed. As for the build, I think if you're build wows people with how movie accurate it is, but doesn't have play features, that it will still get good response. I can't speak for everyone since each person's tastes are different. The main idea of the contest is to create a TLG style battle pack, but it doesn't have to be on the same level. My example entry has play features, but it's not something TLG would ever produce. I hope that helps clear that point up a little.

Sorry for being late, but I've updated my post on the first page to include all my builds for this period.

Ever since their attack on the Wolf Clan, the Algus had been ravaging the northern reaches of Mitgardia. Their cruelty knew no boundaries. Whole villages were massacred, families were found unexplainably frozen in solid blocks of ice, and nowhere seemed to be safe.

Here is my entry for this WZ:

In Qarkyr, there are two distinct cultures. In certain parts of the city these two cultures can be seen across the street from each other. When it became clear that their city was not only divided culturally, but only in which war-ing faction they supported, the merchants of the city took up arms against each other. Having only knives and their fierce passion to win whatever the cost, the fight promised to be a bloody one. The sultan of Budd-apest had heard about the coming conflict and had sent one of his men to help the western merchants in the defense of the Desert King's right to rule. A dwarven captain stood on the side of the eastern merchants, urging them on to fight for the freedom that Ulandus offered. OoC: So I found out I'm really bad at building Asian style buildings. This was the best I could come up with. I hope you all like it.

No, we could have 500 entries, but only the top 25 will make it to the group voting phase. This is to help keep the voting manageable for everyone. No one likes to have to scroll through 80 entries and try to decide which are the best 2 out of those 80.

Okay, seriously? I should not be the only player posting here. Where are you rebels? In other news, we now have our own sub-forum! Please post all SoNE related content in this sub-forum including contest entries and freebuilds.

Look out Vader, there is a force sensitive trooper on board your ship! And yes, as many of you guessed, we now have our own sub-forum! Please post all SoNE related content in this sub-forum including contest entries and freebuilds.

A verbal "appearance" is fine as well so Bothans would be allowed. The build has to have no more than 100 pieces, but the figs and up to 1 weapon apiece don't count towards that number.

We will be happy to see you again this summer, and as long as a new introduction is accompanied by a build or two, I don't think we'll mind And also, for those who haven't noticed yet, we have our own sub-forum! Please post all SoNE related content in this sub-forum including contest entries and freebuilds.

You might get a faster answer in this thread.

Very impressive! I like the variety you've included in each mech.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. - Kenobi Never fear! The disapperance of the previous topics regarding SoNE will be understood soon!
