Star Wars Concepts and musings
66th Sister: After defecting from the Jedi Order, Emperor Palpatine took Barriss Offee into his care, making her the first inquisitor, the 66th Sister. Emperor Skywalker: Had some MTF bodies I wanted to do something with, and this is one of the results. This is a concept based on the idea that Anakin Skywalker won the Duel on Mustafar. Upon returning to Coruscant with Padme and demanding Palpatine save her, the dark lord says once again that he has not yet unlocked the secret to eternal life. As far as Anakin is concerned, an agreement was made, and Palpatine did not live up to his end. Not the broken boy who fell before Palpatine in despair just hours before, Anakin is now completely consumed by his rage, and upon Padme's death and without a second thought, dispatches the would-be Emperor in a fury of saber strikes, using both his and Obi-Wan's blade, leaving little of Palpatine left. Anakin then assumes command of the Senate, championing himself as the savior, having defeated the insurrectionist Jedi and the corrupt Sheev Palpatine. Now seeing the title of Darth as another tool of slavery for others to control him, Anakin abandoned the title and took that of Emperor. A Gen'Dai Jedi Knight: Arcni- A particularly force adept Dathomirian, Arcni was approached by a mysterious Jedi sometime between Order 66 and the Battle of Yavin and tasked with recruiting other Force adepts to form a new Jedi Order. Due to the increasing pressures of the Empire on Dathomir as the Emperor himself sought force adepts to fill the ranks of his Inquisitors, Arcni accepted the task of creating this Order in the hopes of using it dually as means to destroy the Empire and protect Dathomir. Referred to as the Red Knights, as even in the shadows, using the term Jedi was not advisable, this group of force users were particularly keen to the dark side, without falling victim to its seductions, with all its members mastering the lightsaber technique Vaapad. Recognizable by their crimson cloaks and orange lightsaber blades, the Red Knights combat the Inquisitors in service of the Rebellion. Note: I play pretty nebulous with Star Wars timelines. Another original character-Rath Ravage, a Dathomirian that was taken from his homeworld at a young age and enlisted in a offshoot sect of Jedi (this sect will be explored more in future work). Later in life, he rejected this sect for this reason, but was not welcome back to Dathomir, as he was no longer considered one of them, lacking both the culture and tribal markings of the nightbrothers. Now, he operates as a freelancer with his trusty droid, L-0OP ("Loop"). Jenzi Ohnaka: Of the many lines Mace Windu skirted between the ways of the Jedi and furthering his own understanding of the Force, one was the idea that offspring of Jedi parents would produce particularly force sensitive children. As such, he subtly encouraged the natural attraction between Aayla Secura and Kit Fisto. Upon intuiting Secura's pregancy through the Force, Windu himself arranged for her assignment to Felucia, believing Felucia far enough in the Outer Rim to not be engaged in early battles of aggression during the Clone Wars, but important tactically enough that the Council would not find the assignment of a highly regarded warrior and general there to be oddly placed. Master Secura's daughter Jenzi was raised among the Felucians and the other pirates and traders that frequented the planet as a principle trade route. It was one of these pirates, the renowned Hondo Ohnaka that spirited Jenzi away from Felucia during the chaos of Order 66, unable to save her mother. Jenzi spent the next several years as Hondo's adopted daughter, with only he being aware of her lineage. Although he was unable to harness and develop her powers, Master Windu's expectations were proven valid as Jenzi's natural Force prowess was uncommonly strong. So much so, in fact, that Hondo had to help her learn to control and conceal it, as to avoid detection of the Empire. Ultimately, however, Jenzi was able to receive proper training under Quinlan Vos, who had sensed her through the Force, and at first, had believed it was Secura herself whom he was sensing. And as Jenzi came of age, Hondo and Vos revealed to her the story of her parents, the great Jedi masters and generals, and gifted to her her mother's lightsaber, which Hondo had managed to acquire through his connections in Felucia. Shortly thereafter, deciding two fully trained Jedi in one location, especially in proximity to a noted pirate, had become exceedingly dangerous, Jenzi traveled to Glee Anselum, the homeplanet of the Nautolans (with her appearance much more Nautolan than Twi'lek). Here she entered into the political landscape, creating a small but notable political movement for children survivors of the Clone Wars. Though she herself kept her parentage a secret, many young adults saw a leader in her as so many felt displaced by the havoc of the Clone Wars. Emperor Palpatine himself found this movement agreeable, as, on its surface, it exalted him as the savior of the Clone Wars. This also led to her gaining a seat on the now vestigial Galactic Senate, where Mon Mothma was able to see through her public facade as a champion of the Empire. Gaining each other's trust, Jenzi revealed her parentage and her own Force prowess to Mon Mothma, who in turn introduced her to a mysterious Jedi referred to "Our Last Hope". Upon meeting Jenzi, this Jedi gifted her the lightsaber of her father, and confided in her his desire to rebuild a new Jedi Order. The Jedi wished her Jenzi to use her status as a Senator and diplomat with Palpatine's unofficial favor to travel throughout the Empire in search of Jedi who may have survived Order 66, and help identify new Force sensitives who could be raised against the Empire. Custom note: As there are no female Nautolan figures, I attempted to create of feminine appearance by trimming down a Kit Fisto head. At this point, I feel pretty biased, as I was there at the beginning, but would be interested to know what others think that don't have the same frame of reference. Klar Family The son and heir of wealthy gaming baron Kell Klar, Kallian had the luxury in his youth of galavanting around the galaxy to his heart?s content. Fancying himself a ?natural born brigand?, his carousing often found him falling in with pirates and other undesirables, where his natural charisma and skill with a blaster often got him into trouble, and just as often got him out of it. Eventually, he found himself in the crew of notorious pirate Hondo Ohnaka, who had originally intended to ransom him back to his father, but, in the end, Kallian was too damn likeable, and Hondo abandoned such plans, ultimately naming him first mate for time. But the time came that Kallian?s father called him back Zeltros to begin his apprenticeship of the family business. Kallian was not surprised to find the philosophies of operating casinos and brothels shared many principles of good pirating, and he was extremely gifted at both. Confident in his son?s aptitude, Kell Klar retired early and left Zeltros, returning only twice. First, for the wedding of Kallian to Anya, a rather prominent Zeltron celebrity, whose holographic pucks could be found in any number of starship garages and Republic barracks. The second, for the birth of Kallian and Anya?s daughter, Alinika. Anya had post-partum complications, however, and the recently installed Separatist blockades prevented the necessary medical interventions, as Droid armies were not easily bribed. After Anya?s death, Kallian committed himself to the protection of their daughter, and the destruction of the Separatists and its agents. As such, he began funding Republican military efforts, from weapons to vehicles, and financed training for systems and planets without militaries. This aid proved vital, and in return, Zeltros was among the first planets freed from Separatist operations, and in the process, became a haven for the republic?s Clone Army during periods of leave. It was during this time that a Clone Commander noticed signs of force sensitivity in Alinika. Fearing for her safety during the Clone Wars, Kallian was not willing to send her to Jedi Academy at Coruscant , but using his pirate connections and considerable wealth, was able to hire Force sensitives outside the administration of the Jedi to aid in her training. Kallian would continue to fund the Republic throughout the Clone Wars. This led to Kallian forming a close relationship with Mon Mothma, which continued after the Empire was established. Kallian was immediately distrustful of Palpatine, and maintained a his relationship with Mothma, which led to his clandestine funding of the rebellion, including operations to smuggle surviving Jedi to safety after Order 66 (which would ultimately include the rescue of the daughter of Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura from Felucia by Hondo Ohnaka). In return, Mon Mothma took Alinika into her retinue, as Kallian feared the Clone Commander who first noticed her Force sensitivity may yet reveal her to the Emperor as the Jedi purge raged on. Kallian otherwise continued to operate his gaming industries, and despite growing Imperial suspicions of his activities, his weighty tax payments to the Empire coupled with the services his casinos and brothels provided to weary Imperial troopers, there was much hesitance to take any actions against him without definitive proof of his ?treachery?. Upon arriving in Coruscant, Alinika served under the tutelage of Mon Mothma briefly, before being re-assigned to the staff of a Jenzi Ohnaka, a young newly elected senator whose political ideas espoused a heroic view of the Emperor, and prioritized the reclamation of the ?child survivors of the Clone Wars?. Mon Mothma had her suspicions of Jenzi Ohnaka, and given that Alinika had lost her mother to the early salvos of what would become the Clone Wars, Mothma felt she would have the perfect cover to infiltrate Jenzi?s inner circle. As such, Alinika would ultimately learn that Jenzi was not a true champion of the Emperor, a notion Mon Mothma had believed to be the case all along. In turn, Alinika could not hide her Force abilities from Jenzi, who would take the young Zeltron as her apprentice. Shortly thereafter, Mon Mothma took Jenzi into her confidence, wherein she revealed that Jedi Master Mace Windu had survived his encounter with the Emperor, and Jenzi and Alinika would be the first recruits of the new Jedi order. Under the guise of diplomacy, Jenzi and Alinika would travel the galaxy, attempting to find surviving Jedi and identify young Force sensitives. The Last Hope: It's Mace Windu. That son of bitch survived his encounter with Darth Sidious and is attempting to put together some modicum of force users to combat the Empire. Note: I went back and forth between using a more obviously robot arm, but liked the look of the armor too much.

Never heard of him before but he’s badass! Love that head, then just a great sculpt for his Jedi robe. Is that an actual Star Wars body? Seems closer to 4” size than the smaller looking articulated Star Wars builds. Whatever it is, great choice because he’s really imposing and the soft food parts are excellent. That lightsaber is really cool too.
Haven’t done any Star Wars customs yet so looking forward to seeing who else you drop in here!

The only Opress parts are the lower legs. Torso is from an old Anakin and the upper legs/torso are from Qui Gon, so, as you can see, be got quite tall.

He's an original character, so that's why you haven't heard of him!
It's all SW parts, but I really had to Frankenstein it to get the size I wanted. The only Opress parts are the lower legs. Torso is from an old Anakin and the upper legs/torso are from Qui Gon, so, as you can see, be got quite tall. You killed it with the size, always impressed at how you combine parts together so seamlessly while also getting exactly the look you were aiming for. Especially when using Star Wars parts that typically seem smaller in general.

He's really cool AxonRey! It's amazing how repainting a head sculpt can completely change the appearance. I'm glad you had Durge there for the comparison.
