Thanks.  They are great to work with.  I've got some favorites that I would like to get more of to fill this line of Je'daii I'm building up.  $$$$$$$…oh well.

My friends, May The 4th Be With You…all day!  I may have to go to work in my Jedi robes.  How do you celebrate it?

Oh I work.  It happens that I'm a music teacher.  We are playing the theme from Star Wars for part of our concert and it happens that we started with it this morning.

Me too. I am a teacher and I spent a part of each class period sharing the May the 4th Graphic and talking about the new SW Movie. Most of my kids seem excited for the new movie.

That sounds great! Our band teacher has the kids play Imperial March for me for most school concerts too. I don't just revel in it, I wallow around a bit.

It's cool to be the director in this regard.  I've programed the Star Wars end credits at the end of our End of the Year Concerts probably 4 times over the last 8 years.  The first time, I pulled out my lightsaber and used it to conduct (sort of).  My arm was sore for quite a bit.

Oh man, I am gonna have to tell our band teacher about that. What a great idea. I bet the kids loved it! I wish I had had a cool music teacher like you when I went to school. Unfortunately all my music teachers were pretty much awful.

Sorry, they were not the greatest for you.  Well, imagine two concert bands, two orchestras, and a jazz band in the gym and the finale piece is all of them playing Star Wars together.  Over 200 padawan musicians!

Sounds glorious. I would love to showcase a YouTube Video if you ever do one.

Sorry, never got the youtube of our end of the year concert but maybe next year. 

Well, it's been a loooong time since I last posted anything so here goes.

I don't have quite a backstory or even a name at this point but, this one is a remnant of the Clone Wars.  A survivor, in fact.

Here's another angle.  So, yeah I'm thinking he's a clone pilot that got some extra training.  You know, made some Mando friends.  Some how kicked the quick aging process clones had to deal with.  Anyone know the reference I'm making?

Thanks for the FP.  This is one of my favorite quick throw together customs.  One of those where I looked at my fodder and said, "what can I put together?".

CT-1127/555, also known as Slick, was TIV pilot during the Clone Wars.  He was from the same batch as Sicko, the same pilot that flew for the Republic Commando unit - Omega Squad (for those of you that haven't read Republic Commando, they are some of the main characters).  Slick and his batch took Sicko's loss pretty badly.  His especially because of the credit given to the civilian pilot that killed Sicko when the civilian thought there were pirates boarding his ship and not Republic Commandos. 
Slick continued through the War without a scratch but saw buddy after buddy get killed.  Finally, he just gave up when the Chancellor declared himself Emperor.  A rumor reached him about some other Clones that had a way out for deserters.  Not only could they get out of the Grand Army but they could also receive a cure to counter the age acceleration all clones had to face.
Months later, A Mandalorian is seen in a cantina on Dantooine with a helmet that is reminiscent of Clone Trooper Pilots.  Sleeko Renfrea is his name and when asked about his helmet, he would tell folks that there is so much surplus out there that the Imperial military was just giving away Clone War era goods.  Suffice it to say, he was also selling his services as a pilot.  Go figure.
