Who goes there?
For #troopertuesday I’m featuring a pair of Imperial Sandtroopers. Sandtroopers are a specialized type of Stormtrooper, trained and equipped to operate on desert worlds such as Tatooine, Jakku, and Jedha.

Shot down by rebel scum, and with their searchlights getting closer, the TIE Fighter pilot abandons his wrecked starfighter and slips into the night.

Medical droid, at your service.
Star Wars fans will recognize this model of medical droid, known as the 2-1B series. We first see one in action during The Empire Strikes Back, treating Luke Skywalker after his encounter with the wampa ice creature on Hoth, and then again after he lost his right hand duelling Darth Vader.

This is my final entry in the #bc_outatime monthly photo theme on #brickcentral , showing our best “out of time” stories.

I take a deliberate approach to the creative process behind my LEGO photography, and considerContinue reading “Old Mos Eisley”
