Yeah, same here. :grin: Nice work, Doc, but you forgot to remove the gum from under their shoes. :tongue:

It was a rough edit*.

*5-minute job with lasso and not wand used on all straight edges does not include deletion of light blue gum when said gum is positioned next to legs of similar color and Doc only has a freeware editior. :grin:

Not that I can stack up to many of the comics in this topic (Just check my last one- a real stinker!), but I thought I'd try again.

The Real reason why Chancellor Palpatine didn't allow aliens in the clone army...

Yes, that's a new Dobby head, but I thought it worked perfectly for this one.

Wow, the thread that keeps on giving! Well done everybody - Oky's comic with the mortified young Boba Fett is good stuff - that's exactly how I would feel.

Brickdoctor, thanks for the comment about the Res Q troopers one being too much of an inside joke. On hindsight, I agree. Also, that wolfpack joke brings back the nostalgia. It was long before I started collecting and building, but I remember seeing the Wolfpack sets in a 90s catalogue.

Ritz Brick, I'm afraid I don't really get it. The vac-metallised gold figure is "a little too shiny", but when compared to which other figure?

cralegoboy, that's pretty good! However, I reckon that by dint of being "clones", they'd all be human (cloned from Jango Fett). Maybe you could try the joke with another helmeted figure?

And also, here are some new ones!

A brown Endor speeder bike would've worked better, but I don't have one yet - anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Endor Bunker set I ordered.

Oh come now, even I know the meaning of that CW joke! :wink: In the show, newbie clones are called 'shinies'. Kinda hard for OT fans to grasp. I admit I only got the joke because the term gets thrown around enough for me to understand it.

Great job on the new ones, especially the first.

On the second... how does one jam the wheels on a vehicle with no wheels?

Thanks you for the explanation Brickdoctor - now that you've mentioned it, I do remember newbie clones referred to as "Shinies" - it's just that I got frustrated waiting for Ahsoka-free episodes that I could enjoy and stopped following the show altogether.

And thanks for your compliments about the funnies as well. Hmm, I'd never really considered that - I just thought that as part of the crossover aspect of the humour it would be fun to subsitute the Nazi's motorbike for a speeder bike.

Thank you Cloney, I really appreciate it.

Poor Luminara - well I for one think that she has a nice stylish outfit, and looks a lot less creepy than Ahsoka. Jeepers, making "Clone Wars-style" faces for minifigs was, is, and always will be an awful awful awful idea.

And it hurts me so that the only Jedi I own from those depicted in that comic...is Ahsoka.

Maybe it would have been more clear if the chrome fig had a clone head, and maybe the body of the chrome stormtrooper instead.

I guess you could say that's part of the joke. :wink:

Then why didn't you just wait until it arrives to take the shot?

An alternate caption for this could have been "But we're not sinking, we're crashing!" :laugh: Quite frankly, I'm surprised you didn't think of that after seeing that speederbike one.

She's talking to Mace about color? Yikes, that's a bit risky, don't you think? :tongue:

And if I were her, I'd be more worried about all that (Geonosian?) dust all over her. :laugh:

Yeah yeah, I know some smartalec would comment about that. The dust here is horrendous! (And I do try to dust them before shots, but with such extreme closeups it always becomes problematic.)

This thred this rater fun. I like the SHITTY BOOBS ones by Jedd the jedi.

(sorry for the bead language. I'm using a cheap translator on the internt. i think it edits the thing i type in as well :/)

Please watch your language *oh2*

That was not nice to say :oh3:

But now that I've mocked it, I have a bad feeling that I've seen this somewhere before...

In LEGO Star Wars II Luke does the very same thing, but only to 3P0 and not to Ben.

Oky-Wan, all valid points. It was indeed part of the joke. As for the Endor bike, I'm not sure when the sets are coming, as we're planning to have a family friend bring them over with him when he comes here for a business trip. Besides, if I think of a joke, I have to get it out of my system fast!

Hmm, the genesis of the life raft joke was actually an old FBTB comic strip about the open-air escape pod included with the first Millennium Falcon set, and I did want Leia to get mad at Han for something stupid that he did.

Wow, "SH**TY BOOBS" is a fantastic insult! I need to write that into some stage play script or a screenplay perhaps...and I do wonder what you meant to say in place of it, if this was indeed the result of a fluke internet translation.

I watched ANH a fortnight ago and was reminded of a scene I've often thought had potential for mocking. But now that I've mocked it, I have a bad feeling that I've seen this somewhere before...

(Snips)

I do like that one Praiter, and I agree with Kiel about cutting the caption short - it adds great effect to an already-funny joke.

Undeterred by the (lone?) critic, I march on.
