Greetings, Perhaps I've missed a post, but has anyone else seen the Anakin's Story animation on the TLG official site? It the first part there is a blurry flyby of a Naboo Cruiser constructed of elements. Any speculation as to it being a one shot or (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Howdy!
