Wow! I'm glad so many people like the ogre. I'd be honored to see it in
someone's CW story, or better yet, squashing minifigs in a game of BrikWars.
I put up a picture of the ogre's interior:

As you can see, it's just two of the 1x1 bricks with studs all around, that
have been pointed in opposite directions and joined with 1x3 plates.
I also used to think the battle droids were pretty worthless. I was actually
opening up a Naboo Swamp so I could put the droids together and put them on
Brickbay. I just happened to put two of the pieces together and notice, "Hey
- that looks like an arm!"
Thanks for your attention and the kind words!
