Jedi Minstrel - Clarinet In Carbonite 3/15/16
« Reply #616 on: March 15, 2016, 08:06:43 PM »
Yes, you read it.  No typo here.  A friend of mine has been wanting to do something in carbonite for a long time.  My clarinet was the catalyst for him.  He took my POS clarinet from when I started in 6th grade and turned it into a POA (Piece Of Art).  It was a no brainer - let this clarinet sit and collect dust or have a second life as an iconic part of my SW collection.  I showed it off to my students (yes, I teach music) and they thought it was cool.  It is and if anyone is interested in "carbonizing" something, let me know and I will connect you with my friend.  Just message me.

Jedi Minstrel - New Jedi 6/15/16
« Reply #618 on: June 15, 2016, 05:08:23 PM »
Hi folks.  Been awhile.  Busy, Busy, Busy. You all understand.  Anyway, it's been months since I posted anything.  I have a ton but I'll just post them one at a time. 

Grrrighrr B'rrrhhn was a Jedi of the New Order before Luke Skywalker's self imposed exile (reference to SW timeline prior to Disney purchase and instituting "Legends").  Groggy to his friends, he was a Neimoidian that found his way to the Jedi Order by way of a bad business deal.  When he was a child, Groggy was forcibly sold by his parents when their business went under.  The disenchanted investor sent henchmen to receive payment.  The men threatened to kill their other children if they didn't give them Groggy.  To compensate a "fair deal", the investor gave them 50 credits.  As he was being whisked away screaming and flailing about, a Jedi happened to be walking the street in front of their apartment building.  The Jedi came to the rescue.  Sensing Groggy's potential in the Force, he went back to the parents and explained Groggy's options.  The parents told them about the investor.  The Jedi found the investor and said, "I don't come back with a New Republic commando squad.  Oh and here's 10 credits, keep the change".  Turns out the Jedi happened to be permanently posted to the local New Republic station 5 kilometers away.  Groggy was sent to the Temple on Coruscant and became a Knight years later, just before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

Thanks Starchaser.  I almost have as much fun making them up as I do customizing.

Jedi Minstrel - Jedi Scout for the Unknown Regions 6/16/16
« Reply #625 on: June 16, 2016, 11:29:46 PM »
Space is limitless.  It is wondrous, it is fearful, it is insane, it is calm, and much more.  Frilik Brach has traveled the spaceways as a Jedi Scout whose mission is to explore those uncharted sections of the Unknown Regions.  He was part of a three-man team of Jedi explorers.  During a routine diagnostic check on a planetoid, they were attacked by a giant space slug.  One of the other Jedi was eaten immediately.  The second died of her injuries 2 weeks later.  She convinced Brach to continue further into the Unknown Regions.  They had been friends and she challenged him to not quit until he found a suitable, undeclared planet to name after her and their lost companion.  That was 12 years ago and he is still searching and discovering and in constant awe with the universe.
