Hi everyone. Although my Lego building projects aren't normally Star Wars related, I've been collecting the sets and mini-figures for the last 6 months. To bring them all together and to celebrate Christmas, I put together a short comic book style story based on a Christmas Party MOC. I hope you like the idea. Maybe the story isn't the funniest or the most accurate, but it's intended to be a fun first try at something new based on one of our Lego MOCs. I'd love to hear your comments. Thanks, Mike .

I was not quite sure where to place this, but since it's related to LEGO and Star Wars, I figured that it would be best to have it here rather than in 'General Discussion' or 'Brick-Flicks & Comics'. For a long time now, I've been having thoughts of writing my own story revolving around a certain set of invented Star Wars characters, and throughout the months, I have gathered a good amount of ideas, concerning both content and the way I'm going to tackle this. However, I'm now looking for opinions on what kind of way to present the story would seem best to you. One thing has been decided for certain - to accompany the text, I will have images added. But of course, that as a whole is rather obvious. These will be LEGO scenes, made to be as cinematic-looking as possible. So imagine detailed MOCs combined with photography and some digital editing, the result being images that will look more like movie stills rather than just pictures of MOCs. One of my main dilemmas about how this will all be combined with the text is whether I should go for a novel style, comic book style or perhaps even a different style, such as a mix of the two. What would be nice here? Any tips? For a better way to show what I mean, I hereby present to you, several examples... (The little stories were randomly written just to be used here, and have nothing to do with my upcoming story) Examples: A) Novel Style 1 - Few Images [picture of the beginning of the chapter - there won't be that many pictures for each chapter in this case, at times just one or two] (imagine about 30 to 40 or more lines of text before the end of the chapter) "CHAPTER 9: A Fiery Welcome" [picture of Bob's ship at a landing platform] (text describing Bob's arrival on Nar Shaddaa, his run-in with a few criminals and his further search for a Rodian called Reev) [picture of Bob facing Reev] (text describing Bob's conversation with Reev, after which he ultimately kills him) <chapter ends> B) Novel Style 2 - Many Images [picture of the beginning of the chapter] (15 lines of text) [picture of Bob in the city] (imagine 5 to 10 more lines until the next picture) [picture of Bob walking towards his ship] (imagine 10 to 20 more lines here, describing Bob's departure from the planet) [picture of Bob looking out of the window, to end the chapter] "CHAPTER 9: A Fiery Welcome" [picture of Bob's ship at a landing platform] (text describing Bob's arrival on Nar Shaddaa] [picture of Bob's run-in with a few criminals] (text describing the encounter, imagine 10 to 20 lines or more) [picture of Bob's continued search for the Rodian] (text describing the search, imagine more than 10 lines) [picture of Bob facing Reev] (text describing Bob's conversation with Reev, after which he ultimately kills him) [picture of Bob walking away from Reev's dead body] <chapter ends> D1) Less text and more dialogue & pictures (and a different way of presenting dialogue) [picture of two characters walking around in a corridor] They walked back and forth, not speaking a word until one of them finally stood still. SURIP: We can't do this. APE: Who says we can't? SURIP: I don't really know. [picture of Surip taking out his blaster] SURIP: But I do know that it's time to end this. D2) Comic Book Series Style Probably more time consuming and I'm not sure if it would work very well for something like this, but I'm open to the idea. I've also thought of something I've seen in the Nar Eurbrikka subforum, which seemed like something that may be interesting to try, even though I'm not sure if I want to utilize anything like it for my own story at all, since it may feel somewhat limiting and won't work on sites like Flickr (if I do end up posting the full stories there, which I'm currently still doubting about as well), I'd still like to hear what you would think of it. Below, I've combined it (a bit) with the novel style. E1) Nar Eurbrikka Style: Option A "Novel Style - Few images" combined with small minifig head pics to show who's talking [Picture of Han Solo in Mos Eisley Cantina] Han attempted to get out of the cantina, but he was stopped by a Rodian mercenary. The Rodian was pointing his blaster towards Han, urging him to sit down again. He spoke in Huttese, which he was able to translate into Galactic Basic. [HUTTESE] Going somewhere, Solo? Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. E2) With names (could be useful in some cases to make things more clear) [Picture of Han Solo in Mos Eisley Cantina] Han attempted to get out of the cantina, but he was stopped by a Rodian mercenary. The Rodian was pointing his blaster towards Han, urging him to sit down again. He spoke in Huttese, which he was able to translate into Galactic Basic. Greedo: [HUTTESE] Going somewhere, Solo? Han Solo: Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. And then there are also E1 and E2, the same as D1 and D2 but in combination with "Novel Style: many images" rather than few. I'd like to hear your opinions on these ideas so far, which one you think works best, and any suggestions for my story and the process of creating it would also be most welcome. Alternatively, other suggestions for ways of doing it are also welcome. It's going to be quite the project and I want to know what you guys think before I start working on it at all - hence, the creation of this topic. Many thanks in advance! (Also, for those who wish to know, the story will most likely take place during the times of The Old Republic)
