Chewie, sorry its taken me so long to post a comment on this.
Firstly Ill comment on the story. I really enjoyed this chapter, I feel you are setting up a great story with some interesting characters, magnificent 7 meets Indiana Jones. The pace is perfect as I really didn't know what was coming next and was eagerly wanting to read on. Unlike Enloe's first story I'm glad I'm in this from the start.
Now to the imagry. My favourite shot was the one taken from the balcony looking down on the stormtroopers, you can really appreciate all of the wonderful work and detail in your diorama.
The beginning of this chapter made me think of the start of the film The Pianist, The stormtroopers entering the homestead could very well hav been Nazi troops. Until now I always thought that the Clone uniform looked more ominous, but your imagey of the Stormtroopers in this scene makes them appear very nasty indeed, a great intro.
As always I can only praise your custom work, everything is so meticulous, it all brings the story alive. The Star Destroyer interior was the high point, just amazing.
This is simply a remarkable piece of work.
