Ashoka Lego Minifigure



This is Ashoka Tano.  Ashoka has a red star fighter which you can see below.  She comes with Anakin's 'Y-Wing' Lego set.  She is Anakin's padawan (Jedi in training) so she is not yet a Jedi Knight. She comes with her own yellow light sabre with Lego, but it is green in the movie.  Ashoka has her a droid: 7751.  She is part of the Clone Wars TV shows.  She can use the force and she fight, but not as well as the trained Jedis.  If you like Star Wars in Anakin times, then you will have great fun playing with Ashoka, because she is part of his story.

Darth Vader Lego Minifugure

Darth Vader is the Emperor's evil apprentice.  This minifigure comes with a red light sabre and a cloth cape.  You can remove his helmet which reveals his face that is really ugly and scarred.  He has a little remote on his top.  Unlike the Yoda minifigure (see my earlier blog post) Darth Vader has big, moveable legs. He comes with the Imperial Starfighter Lego set. You can place his light sabre underneath his spaceship for storage.  He also comes with the Star Destroyer Lego set, but you can buy him on his own on Ebay for about 10 Euro!

Droid Walker

 This is a Droid Walker.  I made it myself. It took only a few minutes to build once I had the idea but I played with it for hours.
It moves with it's two pointy legs that push it along.  It has a little blaster at the side and a screen so you can hear the droids speaking.
It has some square pieces that allow the droid to stick onto the walker.
It has a rotating leg that spins around (see the photos) like a windmill.  It makes it move really fast.  
The droid is one piece.  It is half a circle in size, so it looks like it is sitting in the Walker.
It was so easy to build, anyone could make it, even beginners.

Snow Trooper Army Pack

This is from the Snow Trooper Army Pack.  I made this from a kit. It came with three stormtroopers and a commander.  You can fire the lazer that you see in the picture by flicking it.  You can turn the storm trooper's seat around to face a different direction if there is a ship coming from behind, so you can fire at it.  One of the three stormtroppers has a motorbike with two lazer guns at the front and a cargo area to store guns.  Another stormtrooper can jump on the back where there is a seat for him.
You can play great games with the Snow Trooper Army Pack. It's fascinating.  It has a turning machine so the lazer gun can go up and down.  If it breaks, it is easy to repair.
I give this 5 out of 5 stars.

Destroyer Ship 2

This is my most recent creation. It has a lever that starts the ship when it is about to take off.  The computers are for the cannons, lazers and bombs.  You can tie a prisoner onto the back of the ship and the lazer cannon on the back of the ship makes sure he stays there.  It has two wings and is fragile. It has a light and a pilot controlling everything on the spaceship.
It has two bombs and a skyscraper on the bottom, which is a thing that prevents someone from tracking you.
It took me a short time to build and I spent the whole afternoon playing it with my friend.  We fired bombs at it and blew the man's head off!  You can flick the boot off and when it falls down you can pretend that it has been blown up.  It's a good toy.

Star Wars: Tatooine Adventures (DK READERS)

Yay!  I love this book.

I just got this book this morning and read it in a few minutes.  I loved it.  It's great to read a book about Anakin, Luke and Tatooine, without any help at all. Kids like to read books about other kids, so this is good book for me.  The writing is big and the sentences aren't too long.  It is full of great photos from all the movie bits about Tatooine.
I learned about Watto and how Luke lived on Tatooine too.  I liked reading about the pub where Hans met Luke.

I'd give it five out of five stars.

Yoda Lego Minifigure

This is my Yoda Lego minifigure .  You can get him in a Droid Tank Lego kit.  I got him for Christmas.  I know you can get him from Ebay sellers.. His legs don't move like other, taller minifigures. It's the same with Little Anakin, Jawas and ewoks.

Yoda has rubber ears, unlike other Lego minifigures.  This makes him unique. He comes with a green lightsaber.
Yoda is my favourite Star Wars character. He is small but he is a powerful Jedi Master.  We first meet him when he tests Anakin in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. In The Empire Strikes Back we see Yoda try to train Luke Skywalker.  He tells him to concentrate and trust the force.  This is a great Lego minifigure to have because you can play different types of games with Yoda, from Star Wars in Anakin times and in Luke times.

Destroyer Ship

I invented this destroyer ship.  I put lots of computers in it, taken from different Lego sets that I have collected.  There is an escape pod (yellow piece)  that you launch by just flicking.  It works really well.  You can flick little bullets too.  The idea came from Bat Man.  It took me less than an hour to build.  I had lots of fun playing with this toy.  I invented a Lego figure to go with it.  His name was Gun man.  Dad made some little targets for me to hit with the flicking action and that was great fun.
