Taking on an Empire, one base at a time

Nobody said that taking on an Empire would be easy. As stated in Karis Nemik’s manifesto: “The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere, and even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.” On an unnamed forest planet, Bolim59 brings this truth to light as Rebel freedom-fighters play their part in slowing down the ever-growing oppressive Imperial regime. This appears to be a two-team sabotage mission, fronted by Rebels obviously dressed in the coolest Star Wars garb (seriously, the Battle-Ready Lucy headgear usage here is perfect), and a lightsaber-wielding Rebel that looks eerily similar to a former Jedi padawan we’ve seen before.

Of course, no one should attempt the perfect heist alone. Bolim’s build is a collaboration with Jonas Gohlke (oblivion_builder) who builds another target, a data center, where Rebels are liberating details about Imperial shipments. Both builders are adept at creating unique Imperial architecture that expands on what’s been depicted on screen but feels right at home in the Star Wars sandbox. The mix of curves and harsh angles on Jonas’ build are especially pleasing.

We wish these Rebels the best of luck, and remember this: “One single thing will break the siege.”

Play that funky lyre, elf-boy!

LEGO builder Bolim59 presents a situation in which an elf-like individual is alone on a floating island. He chooses to spend his alone time playing the heck out of a lyre for an audience of no one. I can relate. Some of my best guitar playing has been when no one was around to witness the awesomeness forever cast into a void due to the fact that anything great I do on a guitar is just dumb luck anyway. The same can be said for my most brilliant quips, my best jokes, and most profound speeches. All of them recited to myself, usually late at night while I’m trying to sleep, and without a sweet floating island to live on.
