Star Wars the Old Republic:

2012-02-09T19:16:00.000-08:00

During the Jedi Civil War she lead a strike team which was tasked to capture or kill Darth Revan. The mission was a success and Bastila brought Revan in front of the Jedi Council on Dantooine. There the Council decided to use the Force to strip Revan of his memories and identity as the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Not long after this Bastila was tasked to lead a squad to Taris and she ordered to take Revan into the crew of the ship as well. Revan without his past memories thought he was a soldier in the Republic Fleet and on the mission the two met again.

Bastila sensed that even though what the Jedi had done to him, Revan is still strong in the Force and decided to take him back to Dantooine and proposed to the Council to train Revan again in the ways of the Jedi.

The Council has agreed and after the training was done, they sent Revan and Bastila on a mutual mission to find out how did Revan and Malak assemble a fleet strong enough to vanquish the Republic.

On their quest they encountered Darth Malak who revealed to Revan his past identity and captured Bastila.

She was taken to the Star Forge, a super-weapon which Malak used to produce his fleet for his conquest. There Bastila was turned to the Dark Side and became Darth Malak's apprentice. She met Revan again on Lehon where they fought and Bastila was forced to retreat to the Star Forge. Revan soon followed her and turned her back to the light. They jointly destroyed the Star Forge.

What happened to her after this is not well known, but we know that she married Revan, and had a son with him who she named Vaner, a rerrangement of his father's name. She also achieved the rank of Jedi Master and that she is an ancestor of the current Grand Master, Satele Shan as well as Satele's secret son, Republic spy Theron Shan. (SWTOR Wiki)

Lego Gollum / Smegal Lord of the Rings

2012-02-07T20:17:00.001-08:00

Gollum is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He was introduced in the author's children's fantasy novel The Hobbit, and became an important supporting character in its sequel, The Lord of the Rings. Gollum was a Stoor Hobbit[1] of the River-folk, who lived near the Gladden Fields.[2] Originally known as Sméagol, he was later named Gollum after his habit of making "a horrible swallowing noise in his throat".[3] Gollum was once a hobbit who became corrupted by the One Ring. His life was extended far beyond its natural limits by the effects of possessing the Ring, which he frequently referred to as "my precious" and "my birthday present". After having it stolen by Bilbo Baggins, Gollum slavishly pursued it for the rest of his life. During his centuries under the Ring's influence, Gollum came to love and hate the Ring, just as he loved and hated himself. Throughout the story, Gollum is seen communing with his ego, torn between his lust for the Ring and his desire to be free of it. (Wikipedia)

Review: 9489 Endor Rebel Trooper

2012-02-01T18:40:00.000-08:00

The Endor Rebel Troopers of 9489 are pretty cool. The have the standard blasters and have a little mini-gun turret. The only problem? The still lack fire power. Think back to the Mandalorian Battle Pack of 7914. Now that was a cool pack! They all had jet packs, helmets, and lots of guns. Is it any wonder why these rebel troops are surrendering?

Review: 7128 Scout Trooper Minifure vs 9489 Scout Trooper Minifigure

2012-01-31T18:13:00.000-08:00

On the left is the 7128 scout trooper and on the right is the 9489 scout trooper. The torso and leg parts are the same. The main difference is the minifigure head. On the older model the skin colour is yellow and on the new one it is black with a small face. I miss the days when all lego figures had bright yellow skin.

Review: 9489 Stormtrooper vs 7667 Stormtrooper

2012-01-31T18:09:00.000-08:00

On the left is the stormtrooper from 7667. On the right is the 9489 Stormtrooper. The 9489 stormtrooper has more detail on both the front and back armor plates. One thing that makes it unique is that the minifigure head is not solid black but contains a face underneath.

Review: 7128 Scout Trooper vs 9489 Scout Trooper

2012-01-30T20:33:00.000-08:00

The new scout trooper and speeder bike look similar to the old one with one noticeable difference, it is significantly less bulky. In the original speeder bike the pieces are large and awkward. In the new bike it uses the exact same pieces as the snowtrooper bike with one addition: a grey connecting pieces that prevents the two rods from splitting. Compared to the original speeder it is smaller, uses less pieces, but looks cooler.

Lord of the Rings Lego Orc Warriors

2012-01-28T07:34:00.000-08:00

Orcs were evil beings that served Morgoth, Sauron and Saruman and lived in Middle-earth. Orcs were described as man-shaped, roughly man-sized, ugly and filthy. Although not dim-witted, they are portrayed as dull and miserable beings, which corrupt words (an insult to a philologist like Tolkien) and are only able to destroy, not to create. They have sour black blood; suggestive of Chief Orc Archer Middle-EarthAdded by Middle-Earth reanimated corpses. Orcs are used as soldiers and henchmen by both the greater and lesser villains of The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings — Morgoth, Sauron and Saruman. The Orcs, here called goblins, also work independently as the common antagonists in The Hobbit. Orcs are cannibalistic creatures that seem to feel no pain in battle. Some were said to make alliances with wicked Dwarves, others with Men or at lest tribute.

The Last Alliance of Elves and Men was formed in 3430 of the Second Age in response to the threat of conquest by the Dark Lord Sauron. The army was the largest ever assembled in Middle-earth since the Host of Valinor during the War of Wrath, the greatest military alliance involving all the Free Peoples of the world, and the greatest war until the War of the Ring.
