Book 10 – Star Wars, A Rampage and A Bonus Ball of LEGO

Watched Rampage tonight with the work-ish mob. Great film. Terrible film. Highly entertaining. You know the type, the story is so bad it ends up actually being great fun to watch. Recommended.

What’s the book ?

There we go. It was the Star Wars Galactic Atlas which is going cheap (ish) with The Last Jedi movie. It covers all of the movies up to (but not including) The Last Jedi as well as the Clone Wars and Rebels animated series. There are lots of artist drawings of the various planets that Star Wars has visited along with words about what happened there through the various series. There are a couple of character sessions too and a timeline.

I quite enjoyed barreling through this one last night. But this post isn’t really about a film or a book. Take another look at the picture. What lurks in the background …

Except for a hungry looking dragon. Keep your eye on that one, he looks like he’s up to no good.

Smile for the camera boys ! I think that’s all the BB-8’s I own (there might be another one somewhere …) A curious kit. There’s a lot of near duplication because he’s basically a sphere with a lid with the sphere calling for a lot of symmetry. There’s a little bit of movement with the kit with a lighter appendage that pops out plus the head rotates and tilts. Nifty.

Wait.

BB-8 – did you see what 4D did with your littler brethren ? Maybe if we click for bigger we’ll find a trace of them.

Mind you, 4D the dragon is looking hungry.

OH MY GOD. 4D ate BB-8’s head. SPIT IT OUT ! I shall have words with this one. He shouldn’t recruit friends (in the shape of my pug-like monitor duster!) to molest the Lego.

And there we go. It looks like the monitor duster got eaten as well and 4D is getting to grips with the next item on his menu. I don’t think he realises that Lego isn’t good for him and that it’ll only lead to bricks on the floor.

 It doesn’t look like we can stop him. That’s one hungry dragon. One side gone …

Both sides gone … When will this end ?

BB-8 your parts are showing. And that dragon looks far too proud of himself.

That’s an evil look.

Getting down to the bones now.

Not much to go now, just the mechanism to consume on the inside and the remains of his sphere.

 I think something in that mechanism disagreed with 4D and he’s gone off somewhere. I have a suspicion that he’ll be back.

BB-8 is more like BB-0.8 now.

Just a naked frame.

Can BB-8 be saved ? Let’s see. I’ve had words with the dragon now and he looks repentant. It sounds like he’s been busy in the background too.

We’re saved !

But it looks like BB-8 doesn’t trust 4D. That lighter is definitely not being brandished in a friendly manner …
