BEFORE COMMENTING READ THIS:Allright at first i had to say that this didn't work out as well as i planned or as well as my Kashyyyk- but this is not even meant to be completely accurate to level so i used elements of different locations inside the Tie-Factory and improvised a little bit i built corridor- which is made after very start of the level in xbox360 version but i added tie-wing elevator and tie-cockpits to make it look more like tie-factory- i also added little control room where i put Kota in and then.... i was out of gray bricks- believe it or not- this whole complex is so detailed that it took almost as much bricks as my clone base (still i didn't run out of plates) anyway here it is Tie Factory over Nar Shaddaa in lego....
And here is the intro for the level:
General Kota- customfig- decals by Vid- slightly altered can be found from Flickr...
In the corridors of this massive factory Starkiller electrocutes stormtroopers....
And uses all boxes and whatever movable material he can reach with Force to mercilessly crush the poor Stormtroopers...
survived soldiers are guarding the door...
but single ligthsaberthrow slices all three half- no one can stop the Starkiller... (sorry effect isn't best...)
Now- where is the jedi?
...Kota gives orders to his troopers to stop the assassin...
...meanwhile Starkiller blows the Door open with single powrful force push...
...But Kotas saboteurs notice him and are going to attack...
Tiecockpits are stored here to await wingassebly (I know there is not that kind of room in the game- this is just improvised mix between many locations from the level...)
One Force push to stun enemies...
...and then he uses cockpits to crush them
Poor rebels have a painful death...
Other Kota's men are sniping from the upper levels...
...But Starkiller uses the Force and bring the whole catwalk down... (ummm.. i'm not exactly sure are that kind of levelthingy "catwalk" but anyway)
Another rebel managed to grap the rail... (Sorry he still have the strap under chin when his helmet is gone- not my fault but Lego companys...)
...But it doesn't help him just slash of red saber and his whole arm is gone-
(Oh Starkiller is so cruel in this moc!)
Starkiller continues his journey to the jedi...
With help of the lift elevating Tie-wings is easy to get up...
Imperial squad which is prepared to attack Kota's rebels but they face Starkiller instead...
...Bad to them- they have to feel the power of the Force- Starkiller throws all movable items to them...
...Which includes also highlyexplosive barrels- BUM!- (hmmm.. in game that would probably bring destruction bonus :D)
...Starkiller enters control room...
... Where is that blasted jedi?!
Well sorry that i am probably not going to do the duel scene against Kota in this series because next there is Raxus Prime diorama which is actually done some weeks ago but i didn't post it- sorry about confusing you (i actually did Raxusdio before Kashyyyk- but hey George Lucas started Star Wars with episode 4 it is not stranger than that!)- before i post it i will build and post Rookies bigvig to continue my cw-series
And at last i want to show you this dioramas architechture and minifigs little closer:
Hallway without action...
Different View of the same corridor
One side of the diorama
Tiewinglift- YES I KNOW THAT TIEFIGHTERS ARE NOT SO BLUE -BUT I MAKE BLUE TIES AND THAT'S IT!
Other View of the same dio -redgrilles represent red "DeathStarstyle" lights seen inside the factory where those Ties fly (You know if you have played)
Dio includes all modules to build one complete Tiefighter- and one extra cockpit- yeah i know that color is not only thing inaccurate in this tie- cockpit is too big compared to wings...
Imperials from the Diorama...
Kota and his militiamen...
All boxes and barrels from the diorama- there is quite lot of them- some are made after the game some are totally improvised...
Well this is one of my longest moc-sites- i was pretty talkative today...
This is really amazing the amount of detail you have put in is great i also love the figs there excellent, and great story line following the pictures, would it be possible if you could join my new group and i will make you an admin if you want thanks

I love it, how can you fit so much detail in one 46x46 diorama? I tried something like this once and it was just... never mind, does Kota's militia look different in the PSP version then in the Xbox because in the PSP they look nearly identical to the Tantive rebel troopers. I've started making TFU mocs, here's the first one: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/162002 what do you think my next TFU vig should be: Kashyyk: Vader vs. Kento, TIE factory Starkiller vs. Kota, or anything else you'd like to suggest.

@Actually it'll just be an 8x8 to 16x16 vig, I don't need to much glass for that, besides the Slave I windshield piece is all I need. The duel on Kashyyk is a lot diferent in the PSP version, I'd have to make the fallen treehouse and some good force push effect that is part of the vig. I'm not sure about custom Paratus, I don't have a good headpiece for him...
No one have Paratus- there is no good head for him- either you have to use decal (not good with him) or molded thing (hard to do)... Also you don't necessarily need force push effect Force can be seen only in games and stuff like that but not in the movies...

I would like to see duel against Kota (have you enough glass for that?) or duel against Kazdan Paratus i know they are hard- especially custom Paratus...I didn't make them because of that- or then you can do something easier like the duel on Kashyyyk...

very nice scene, but unfortunately i haven't played the game, YET :). oh and can u please tell me why galen marek kills rebels and IMPERIALS ??
Because he is Vader's secret apprentice and Emperor shouldn't know his existence- he is trained to kill the emperor or actually he probably was never really meant to do that but it is what his master (Vader) have told him- to make him reveal the Emperor's secret enemies (to make him believe that he is allowed to kill imperials as well- it is not after all great loss for Empire- most stormies are clones and even officers can be replaced by new ones) anyway it is all just betrayal it is a way of the sith...
very good, verydetailed and i love the improvisations. kota looks awesome, i made my one with a grey ponytail and none of him is custom. kotas men were well made too.5/5 great moc.
Quoting Aaron C.
Great Job! But could you tell me why he's fighting rebels AND stormtroopers?
He is Vader's secret apprentice Vaders orders were "The Emperor cannot discover you- leave no witnesses- kill everyone aboard imperials and Kota's man alike..." So actually it was just deception because he wasn't secret- anyway learn about this game and you get it- sith are so evil that they kill their own when it is more useful....

I'm not familiar with this game, but this creation is awesome! The amount of action happening on the various levels in above average, although it seems a little cramped for a video game level.

How many bricks do you have!?!?!?? Anyway, I've been wondering, when you build big things like Kashyyyk and Felucia and all those huge dioramas you've made, do you scrap one to build another? Anyway, nice job with the comic and cool efects. 5/5 Stars.
Yes i have to do that or i soon run out of bricks- i have lot of them but all big dios just consume the best bricks and to build another i have to demolish the old ones- good that i have a camera to picture them....
I liked this Level a lot! And you have recreated it perfectly!
I like it

You shouldn't- you have potential but you don't remember details- add something to your mocs that aren't necessarily needed but looks good keep it up...

Awesome! I love this level! Best part is throwing Rebels out the Airlocks! And, if you have it for the Wii, look out all the small windows, and youl see a Stormtrooper/Navy Commando float by!
I don't have wii- but xbox360 and ds-versuions both - pretty different... But it is fun to broke the windows-vacuum sucks all stuff to the space before security doors closed...
i was waiting for this!!! really cool. but like people said before, not great pics. looks like i took them :D also, i was thinking about makeing the last part where Gehen fights vader and the emporer. i just need the emporer though.;) should i? Ahhhh!!! 2 smialies in one!!! :-) oh god! thats 3!

Very nice detail. I like the Rebels and their leader. The boxes and lift are cool too. Overall: 5/5
Yep- i think you get the fact that this done after the game and characters are from it- so no credit to me- Kota is nice character in the game though...

Cool. Seems a little cramped though. The pictures aren't your best work, and to tell you the truth, this seems a little rushed. Good work, nonetheless.
You mean pics are rushed? This took almost week i didn't rush at all in building -even tie-wings are my third version- first they were too large to fit- secondly they were too heavy to the lift and then i build these- but yeah pics aren't best- you know sometimes you just cannot take good pics...

It's a little condensed, but that just adds to the playability of the whole thing. I like how you've changed the positioning of the characters as if the game were actually being played, as well as the destruction (fire) caused by thrown boxes. I've been playing around with the idea of building a large dio of the facility, and this will be a great reference when I get around to building it. Keep it up!
