The Flower of the Force

[Stegoceras]

Besides being an dictatorial emperor of the galaxy, Palpatine realized that he needed an extra income to make ends meet every month, thus he started giving flower arranging courses. His students are not very impressed with his teaching skills though and don't really value his lessons. This fact would later of course sprout Palpatine's lust for vengeance resulting in his second Death Star.

The classroom in all it's glory.

Luke realized that for that A+ he needed something special to spruce up his bouquet, and a shiny object would do just that.

Palpatine doing his best to keep the class in order and utterly failing. R2 has already suffered his punishment and had to stand in the corner with the dunce cap for speaking out of turn.

Han had his own reason for signing up for the course, to meet hot ladies. Leia seems to occupied though.

Boba is taking aim at Han while Chewie enjoys a hot cuppa and the space battle outside. The Ewok shows that he really doesn't need flower arranging courses and Darth is focused as ever to become the ultimate Florist.

Enjoyed making it and hopefully people will enjoy out there will enjoy it as well, I wish everyone best of luck with the contest and thanks to the Eurobrick admins for throwing it of course.

Hello!

That's a really funny and original idea. It's especially ironic that people of all fractions come together to do something peacefully and unexpected like flower arrangements.

And by the way, that's an intresting way designing a Micro X-Wing.

Cheers,

Nice entry Stegoceras! Pretty clever space background. Good luck in the contest!

Great job! Nice background, and I love everything going on inside

[Big Cam]

Clever, I think without the backstory it would be a little hard to get the whole story. But with the story it's quite funny.

[Ceroknight]

that is really well done!

are the things behind the cleverly designed x-wing A-wings? sorry...just woke up

good luck!

Nice work on this minis! I think they're quite creative.

[Stegoceras]

Thanks all for the kind words.

I actually came up with it years ago, never had a reason to use it though.

They are supposed to be anyways, build them years ago inspired by another builders idea, mine are just a tad different.

A very funny entry Stegoceras!

I really like the mini space battle. The tables - desks, are cool, nice use of the lightsaber hilt!

Good luck in the contest!

Updated the Moc a bit, cause there were some pieces that just didn't look right, also made some small changed to the set-up and last but not least tried a different setting on the camera to see if the photos would get any better.

Updated all the photos except for the space battle, because it was harder to separate it from the moc due to the raised floor and it had hardly changed.

Old version photos can be found on my flickr account (link in first post of this topic) as well as more new ones.

For those interested, here is a close up of the ship used in the space-battle:

This is really funny. I like that they are all flower arranging while war rages outside the window. Nice minis (or micros) too.
