(...) That would stand to reason, since the TIE Pilots in the movie wore black Stormtrooper helmets with hoses coming out of them. Probably the same piece molded in black. (...) My guess: It's a 4x3 slope with printing. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Huh! I never knew that... serves me right for not buying town Jr. sets I guess.... The only one I ever knew of was in Blacktron I's Battrax way back when in 1987... I think I may have seen it once elsewhere, but I figured it was kinda like the (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, you're part of the "Eric" contingent, and we all know what trouble that is... (...) That's pretty cool. If you have the space to implement it, it would work very nicely.

(...) Ha! When I saw Slave I, I thought it was a new piece! But apparently it's been in Res-Q in black all along. I've actually woken up and noticed it in other sets as well, like some town ones. In opaque, it seems to have become Town Jr's favorive (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) COOL! I want that light grey canopy top! I want I want I want! Short of the Slave-I, when was the last time they even released that piece? Or has it been floating around in Res-Q or something unnoticed by me? :) DaveE (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Can't speak to your questions about the shuttle, I don't have one yet, but I can say for certain that the TIE pilot has a different helmet than the Stormtrooper. James (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hmmm... Looking at these, I've noticed a few things: Is it me or is the TIE pilot just a Stormtrooper painted black? The helmets look like the same piece. Is the intake vent under the shuttle's dorsal a new piece or some weird optical-illusion (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | Improving Mindstorms R2???
|

I just nabbed a second copy of the Mindstorms Droid Developer Kit[1], and I've been thinking about how to make a better R2, and what the functions should be. Then I realized I wasn't even sure what functions the reel R2 has... So, in the interests (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) We'll start with the fact that I detest clones. I know not everyone feels that way, but I don't like to use them. Apart from that, though, there's a fairly simple LEGO solution... the 'L' shaped plate (the one with a 2x2 area on both sides of (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
