<\/a><\/p>\n2nd December 2015<\/h3>\n
Word reached us that an army of Trandoshan bounty hunters were on the prowl\u00a0.. and could very well reach Camp Gaderffii within hours ..\u00a0We quickly readied the\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Multi-Projectile OzBlop J-24<\/strong>\u00a0and beamed it up to a\u00a0vantage position with its\u00a04 x ZZ14 Rocket Systems<\/strong>\u00a0facing 4 possible\u00a0approach directions<\/p>\n Utini!<\/em><\/strong> It looks like the pesky little Jawas have turned up to try and steal all the presents … luckily they haven’t been bought yet!<\/p>\n This is not the sand crawler you are looking for…<\/p>\n My first Lego Star Wars calendar – ever! I’m told this is probably a Ewok turret of some kind.<\/p>\n No idea what I have built here, I’m confused but then that’s war for you. Perhaps it will cause the\u00a0Trandoshan bounty hunters to think on’t. \u00a0I’ll tell them it’s a present form Darth Santa and leg it to the Pub, I’m in need of some Dagobah swamp water.<\/p>\n This is an Ewok! The first piece apart from the Jawa that I actually recognise despite having watched all three original films.<\/p>\n The Ewok is happy now he’s got his boulder catapult loaded. Don’t let those glazed eyes deceive you – he can take out a Stormtrooper’s helmet at 30 Wookiee strides. Once he’s run out of boulders the catapult will make an excellent present delivery mechanism to the tree tops.<\/p>\n This Stormtrooper seems to have stolen a bow and arrow and is creeping up on an oblivious Ewok.<\/p>\n A Star Destroyer ‘jacked by joyriders hurtles past the diorama. Remember kids, Speed Kills. And Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n You can never have too many weapons racks…<\/p>\n Bender makes a cameo appearance and cannot resist goosing a stormtrooper. “Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Can you feel the Force?”\u00a0 That stormtrooper soon will.<\/p>\n If you look very carefully, you’ll see the millenium vulcan swooping in at 3 parsecs below the speed of light, about to wreak havoc upon the land. A trigger happy\u00a0Sleazebaggano on watch duty and sat in a grounded Alderaan Y-Wing Starfighter\u00a0 blasts out a wrapped xmas present with a proton torpedo when the electronic toy inside makes a squeak .. oops!!! someone will be without a xmas present .. Too right, no more watch duty for Sleazebaggano\u00a0 ..<\/p>\n Alderaan Y-Wing Starfighter<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n The Hoth Rebel Trooper looks rather bemused at the lack of snow – clearly, Hoth is also having a very mild winter.<\/p>\n Imperial Walker just minding its own business…<\/p>\n Rebel Ion Canon<\/p><\/div>\n Traverse Right!\u00a0 Steady on!\u00a0 1 … 500!\u00a0 Oops, wrong film.\u00a0 I’m sure the Beatles don’t mind.\u00a0 A rebel ion canon looses a volley at the Imperial Walker.<\/p>\n I don’t know what it is but it doesn’t look good. \u00a0We need courage, pass the\u00a0Dagobah swamp water.<\/p>\n Ah! \u00a0That’s better, I think I may ask it if it would care to dance. Activity is seen in the hills.\u00a0 All guns!\u00a0 All guns!\u00a0 Fire at will!\u00a0 No, no, Fire at will, not Fire at Will!\u00a0 Stop firing!\u00a0 Stop firing!<\/p>\n Look carefully and you can just make out the shot being fired off. I should have made an annoying animated GIF instead, I know<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n R2-Deer2 and his mate turn up late for the party. The Dagobah swamp fumes have livened their circuits and they start a bout of rutting around the Pit (of Carkoon) whilst the Stormtrooper cheers on.<\/p>\n Swoosh!<\/em><\/strong> This guy simply HAS<\/strong> to be the droid I’m looking for … Help me R2-Deer2, Vader must be near, I can feel his presents! And finally!<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Santa3P0, with a sack containing a taun-taun of presents,\u00a0lands at last in his sleigh, pulled by the red-nosed R2Deer2.<\/p>\n (mutters)<\/em> “It’s against my programming to impersonate Santa Claus”<\/p>\n All the boys and girls wait patiently, keeping Luke warm near the fire.<\/p>\n “Hello, boys and girls, I’m terribly sorry but you’re doomed,\u00a0the possibility of a child being good all year round is approximately 32,700 to 1.”<\/p>\n (cue sad faces)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n “But here are your presents anyway”<\/p>\n (<\/em>Fade to cheers from the assembled throng)<\/em><\/p>\n The days have been glorious; the force lit the world and provided bounty and delight for all. All things have their time. The evenings have turned to the darkside and enforced merriment pervades the air at Tesco. It can only … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n3rd December 2015<\/h3>\n
