The finished picture from the prior page.........

Yoda has been in hiding from the Sith for many decades .....but what happens when something changes and he is forced to leave the safety of Dagobah.

Looking real good....GP

A lot of work needs to be done transferring the characters to new locations.
This mod is placed in the weeks before Episode IV and some characters not seen until Episode V or VI appear in this time frame in different locations.

So a lot of time is spent modding pixels to merge a character into a different scene.

Completed the picture from the last post which puts Princess Leia on her ship "Tantive IV".
This picture took about 3 hours to do.

Still working on where the major characters are but do know that they will not all be on the Millennium Falcon.


Princess Leia will be on rebels ships.
Han and Chewbacca will be somewhere in the Falcon
Yoda will start on Dagobah
Lando Calrissian will be on Bespin
Luke Skywalker is still to be decided but most likely on Tatooine or Yavin IV

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Still Alive) will be on Tatooine to start with

The picture for Luke Skywalker added to the mod after an hour an a half.

Luke has many looks during the first trilogy and the picture below for the mod shows his appearance pre- Yavin IV.

The picture had Luke missing his shoulder completely below his chin in the picture so the shoulder had to be Photoshoped in.

Han Solo at a trading spot for Smugglers and Rogue Traders in the Outer Rim..... Working on how Han and Chewbacca meet the Rebel Alliance in the mod.

This picture needed a lot of work on Han before inserting him into the scene.
Major issue was that Han was missing both shoulders originally.

The portrait of Chewbacca took a couple of hours to do and may have some additional tweaks done later.
The image was redone to Version 2.

When merging characters onto a new background you may often see the border edge of the character. To fix this I use the blur tool in Photoshop so the character is merged seamlessly into the background.

The Empire will have their Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, Vader's Star Destroyer Executor and of course the Death Star.
The Alliance will have EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate, Mon Calamari Star Cruisers, CR90 corvettes, Hammerhead corvettes and the Millennium Falcon.

While the above ships will see plenty of action, the mod will have emphasis on battles between the X-Wings and the Tie Fighters as these are the ships most anticipated by Star Wars fans.

The X-Wings and Tie-Fighters will be of a decent size and not some small fighter hardly visible on the map.

You may get a lone group of X-Wings being attacked by many Tie Fighters and while there may be more Tie Fighters their shields are not as strong as the X-Wings.

Eyeballs & squints don't have shields.

Yes the Tie Fighters and Interceptors don't have shields however not sure how that would be for the mod if they are blown up on the first hit every time they are in battle. Was thinking much reduced shields so they get blown up after 3 hits.

Have spent most of the day today working on the X-Wing Fighter...perhaps the most difficult ship of the mod so far.
As Tie Fighters and X-Wings fights will play an important part in the mod I want the X-Wing to look just as good as the Tie-Fighter.

Concept of what the X-Wings and Tie Fighters may look like in the mod.......

Imperial bases and spaceports appear in the mod as various types of Star Destroyers. I am going to keep the look of the mod as close to the movies as possible.

as usual great work Rjord1, but..

do you expect to release a "beta" of it in the next weeks or months ?

The Last Jedi comes out on December 13 so I am hoping to have something out by then...... it will be an alpha version with updates coming out adding more to the mod.

The new Lambda shuttle for the Empire....... I am happier with this version.

The Star Destroyer seen in post 52 on the previous page has been replaced by the much better looking Star Destroyer seen below.

Some people may recognize the ship below....... working on where and how this ship will appear in the mod.

Unlike the Imperial Passenger shuttle on post 75 above, the Imperial Shuttle below is used specifically for troop transport.

An example of where Imperial Troop Transports are used was seen in The Force Awakens.

This shuttle will be scaled down in size after further testing.

These mining ships are very common in use by many races across the Outer Rim.
