The Racing Swoop that you drive in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic in LEGO form

About this creation

Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic was one game I just knew I HAD to buy as soon as I heard about it. I had always wanted a Star Wars RPG and the game was being developed by BioWare, the company that made my favorite game of all time - Baldur's Gate II. When I got the game, I loved it. It didn't have quite the same depth or scale as Baldur's Gate II, but it was a great RPG that warranted at least three plays through. I truly cared about the characters as I played, and that is why I made these LEGO customs... WARNING: there are DEFINITELY plenty of SPOILERS in here, for those of you who haven't played this fantastic game yet. So play the game before you read my write-ups. But do read them. I don't just type them for the finger exercise.

For all of my LEGO customs and any instructions I have made, please visit my website (after reviewing my custom here, of course):

The part of the swoop that you, the player, see the most often is the back end. Remember, don't hit the gas until the last light is lit!

Note the three different shades of orange I was forced to use. Why can't LEGO pick a shade and stick wit it anymore? The racing pilot of this Swoop is your typical dashingly handsome young rogue. Not the Jeff Gordon type, however. Totally different.

This is what the Swoop looks like in the game. It doesn't look much like a traditional Swoop Bike, does it? Nevertheless, these were obviously what Swoops looked like in the days of the Old Republic.

These are the positions that Canderous and HK-47 always stand at in the Ebon Hawk, right in front of your Swoop. Sorry for the lack of the appropriate Ebon Hawk herself. It would have to be... very big.

I was displeased with the Swoop racing in Knights of the Old Republic. You're only racing against times with no other racers on the tracks. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, since it was just a mini-game. But it was kind of fun anyway, I guess.
