Great back story! The concept really works. I think the combination of parts fit together well,and I dig the "Bushido" look. Fine job for a "throw together."

Jedi Minstrel - What if Palpatine was a Jedi? 9/23/15
« Reply #571 on: September 23, 2015, 12:57:21 AM »
Here's is one of the most simple, yet affective customs I've done. 

Palpatine never became chancellor, never emperor, and never a Sith Lord.  He was found by accident by a knight and her padawan as they were assigned to a mission to Naboo.  There they met with some of the noble houses.  As they were introduced to the Palpatine family, they felt the Force emanating from their new baby.  The request was made that the child be taken to Coruscant to begin Jedi training.  House Palpatine was hesitant but in the end, they let him go and Palpatine would become not the bringer of the end of the Jedi Order but a forward thinker that would bring some reform to the Order.  He dies at the age of 115 and during his time on the Jedi Council and for decades to come, there was peace throughout the galaxy.  No wars, just minor conflicts that were resolved with help from the Jedi and the sense of cooperation the Jedi brought to the galaxy.

This is just a simple head swap.

Finally found some time to get this on the front page with some comments. I really enjoy your back stories. It really sets the stage. You should do the figure info on the back of the cards for Hasbro!

Thanks, Dude!  I'll just go email Hasbro with some samples.  Could use the extra money.  Two toddlers and Christmas is around the corner.

Jedi Minstrel - Duros Bounty Hunter 10/31/15
« Reply #578 on: October 31, 2015, 06:46:51 AM »
Happy Halloween folks.  Been awhile but here's one I've had on the shelf for a some time and finally got time to post.

Sacochi Lama was a Duros bounty hunter from around 3475 years before the Battle of Yavin.  He was ruthless, meticulous, precise, and always got his bounty.  Not one to take mercy on his bounties, he once did allow a family to escape to Commenor in the Corellian system.  He and they thought they could get lost in the more populace sections.  He kept thinking about the two boys and how they might turn out if he took in their father.  The father, a Duros merchant that supposedly cheated a client out of some Alderaanian ghost truffles ($1000 credits an ounce), swore that he was robbed by pirates.  Lama believed him, let him and his family go, and went to hunt the pirates.  Turned out he knew the pirates and while hunting for the merchant family, heard the story in a cantina.  The pirate gang were bragging about their recent haul of some expensive Alderaanian food stuffs.  Lama tracked down the pirates, managed to salvage most of the ghost truffles and other foods, cleared the father's name, and gave the family a few extra credits to restart their business.  The family convinced Lama to become a silent partner.  He agreed but took the occasional food supply as his cut.  He watched the boys grow up to become respectable heirs to the family business.

He turned out great! A great predecessor to Cad Bane, but I love the compassionate element in the backstory.
