Hey guys, new here, so that might come off the wrong way, but I just wanted to contribute.

I watched Star Wars Begins on youtube and it's brilliant, just one little thing bugged me about the commentary. When the mouse droid gets scared away by Chewie it reads the mouse droid is a recast of R2's middle foot. That is simply wrong. Both the shape and especially the dimensions are completely different (I know that as I have researched R2 thoroughly for my droid build and also been active in the Mouse droid builders club). The mouse droid is considerably bigger than an R2 foot, at least twice as big, if not more.


Just thought I'd point that out, apart from that I enjoyed this a lot! So kudos to you :)

I am trying to find out where I got that 'fact' from. It was something I chanced upon at the last minute. Hmm. Any ideas? I've got so much crap going round in my head.

 

Your commentary was the first time I read that actually. To be honest, most people are shocked when they find out how big these "mouse" droids actually were. Not all that mouse-like really :)

I still need to get a DVD copy (or download it) of SW Begins, it is really good... :)

Now I've heard everything! Is there an aspect of Star Wars no one has recreated? ;-)

Welcome, by the way!

 

 

You'd be surprised ;) There's even an IG-88 Builders group!

Thanks for the welcome, I hope I didn't come off as rude there...
