AT-AT pilots and AT-ST pilots should just be called Imperial Walker pilots IMO. That would avoid a lot of confusion.

Lord Embo

They're both called Imperial Army Pilots, but no one uses that terminology.

I know that. I just think it would be easier if TLG decided to call them Imperial Walker Pilots; Imperial Army Pilots would apply to all pilots used by the Empire, and that would just be confusing. However, I don't mind them being classed as seperate by TLG; it's less confusing that way.

No, there's a distinction between Army and Navy pilots. The walker pilots are the only Army pilots.

Oh. Right. I don't often look at the Empire Army and when I do, the names I give them are based upon TLG's naming of the soldiers.

[Skafte]

Well, a person piloting an AT-AT is an AT-AT pilot, no matter what uniform he wears, right?

This is all a bit of topic but:

The 'AT-AT Pilots' are the walker or ground vehicle pilots of the Stormtrooper corps of the imp army, the 'AT-ST Pilots' are the imp army's walker or ground vehicle pilots. The Tie pilots are the imp starfighter corps branch of the imp navy, and the death star gunner are the imp navy's version of pilots. Confused?

[DarthSion]

I don't care what it is in, but I want those red clone guards with the big shields, and those robot cops,oh maybe one of those speeders they have, with Master Sanebah.

Yeah I know spelt that wrong.

Blasphemer! MegaBloks lover!

Actually, you're completely right, except that only AT-AT pilots pilot AT-ATs, so only AT-AT pilots are AT-AT pilots.

Think you repeated yourself a couple times there.

No

Army- 'AT-ST Driver'

Navy- Deathstar Gunners

Stormtrooper Corps -'AT-AT Drivers'

Starfighter Corps -TIE Pilots

They're all imperial pilots to me. Except they have their different armour for certain terrains.

IMO: I dont think SWBF1 is the best reference. They always called snowtroopers stormtroopers, even though they are the same unit just in different uniform.

Back on topic. Do you think the curves in an X-Wing might be to difficult for a midi?

I'm hoping thats what the next one will be.

Not at all. Compared to other ships like the B-wing or N-1, the X-wing is pretty angular. There was a decent Midi one in the Yavin base prototype.

Decent that was fantastic

[Supersonic]

Wait, there are pictures of the Yavin Base prototype? Anyone got a link?

[Praiter Yed]

It was pictured in the Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary - if I remember correctly it said it was a sketch model that would not go into production.

Shame, I wish that would have gone into production. It would have been a fantastic set. TLG should make intructions so we could make it our selves.

Thanks, CB

Yep, it would make quite a nice play-set. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing something similar to 7666 Hoth Base - A temple front with a tower, maybe a small briefing room section and a system scaled X-Wing (Biggs?). Throw in a Rebel cart and I'd soon be parting with my hard-earned cash.

I don't think it would be that hard to reverse-engineer, and that prototype was pretty rough, so you would want to mod it anyways.

And Biggs does deserve a remake.

I knew I had this somewhere...

Might help a little if someone does decide to reverse-engineer it.

I can't help but wonder with R2-Q2 appearing in 7915 Imperial V-Wing Fighter, and the fact that "During the Battle of Yavin, a similar droid was used by Biggs Darklighter", whether we may actually see Biggs and a new X-Wing in the next 2-3 years. Could TLG resist the temptation of selling us the same droid under a different name?

Hmmm...

Someone else mentioned in another topic that the X-wings not contain pupiled Luke and Han, so TLG must've started another production run. That should keep the set on the shelves for at least another year, I think.

[slimninj4]

I want more midisets. Would love LOVE more ships. even a midi ATAT and ATST.

[MightySlickPancake]

I do agree with you both Brickdoctor and Praiter Yed that it wouldn't be that hard to reverse engineer, But I dont think its worth making for real cause better models could easily be made. Although saying this I may try making a LLD version of it myself, Any input would be greatly appreciated . Just started and realised it very hard (almost impossible)without more pics of the inside , sorry guys.

Thanks, CB

Those minifigs in the Yavin temple look pretty cool. I don't think they've been in any other sets, have they?

[BrickArtist]

It's funny you should mention the hoth base talking about mini/midis Because that set WAS to mini scale it would be perfect to stick a bunch of mini snow speeders in their!

Too bad.

Not in one set, but as a sketch model all the minifigs are made from previously manufactured parts. All of them can be made from minifigs that were in other sets.

[MightySlickPancake]

Too bad.

Yeah sorry about that. Although its snowing where I am so I may give it another shot. But does anyone know what size the green baseplate is? Is the whole thing symmetrical? Should it be dark bley or cream like it is in this model (yeah I dont know my star wars to well and wookieepedia didnt help)?

Thanks, CB
