Merchandising!!!!

Bullseye.

I keep hearing that Episodes 7,8&9 are going to be made non-cannon I sure hope so. If the BS with the renaming Slave 1 is the only pandering to the woke mob (that couldn't give a damn about Star Wars to begin with) that shows up in Mandalorian season 3 and the Book of Boba then fine but I hope it's not a trend that will keep on snowballing.

Back to the Panzer! Keep up the great work Bruce!

We all grew up watching the original Star Wars trilogy. Boba Fet's ship will ALWAYS be known as Slave 1. I don't give a rat's @$$ what Disney or the woke crowd thinks. Don't mess with perfection and originality of Star Wars.

Thanks. I could not agree with you more about Star Wars. For me, and I think a lot of people who care, only episodes 4, 5 and 6 truly matter - and make sense. Even Return of the Jedi has some dumb ideas (Jabba’s Band) and sloppy executions (Boba Fett) that mar what are the best space battles of the series. Arguing about Star Wars is tough, and the progress on the tank is suffering.

I agree. Let everything be as it was, and let the work stand on its own. All the best, Tom!

Yes, get back on the road!

Incredible photo, Carlos. I hear and obey.

Just got back from Vegas and I'm finally caught up. I agree about Star Wars; then again, anything Disney touches these days turns to crap since they just have to push their perverted agenda. That is why I am here; enjoying your magnificent build Bruce! It is always a thrill watching you work and figure things out and solve problems and this thread is especially great!

Keep it coming my friend!

As much as I enjoyed the new films (as a daft sci-fi yarn), to my mind the true follow on from the original films will always be the books that continued the story - The Grand Admiral Thrawn Triolgy, the Courtship of Princess Leia, Rogue Squadron etc. My story canon had Mara Jade in it...

Now, back to rhe tank...

Yes, I like reading Heir to the Empire every year or so just to bask in what should have been the final trilogy. A fella can dream.
