I put this together and found myself asking – WTF? (Why The Face) I had no idea what this was or why it had anything to do with Christmas or even Star Wars. A little of research led me to believe it is in fact a Mecho-chair for Nute Gunray. And that means day three is actually a gift for the day two gift. Glad he didn’t have to wait long.
The devices, generally built by Affodies Crafthouse of Pure Neimoidia, were prohibitively costly and were more of a status symbol than a mode of transportation. They featured two sickle-shaped rear legs that terminated in single-claw feet, and a pair of articulated double-clawed guidance limbs.
So things aren’t getting better in the Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar world. So far Nute Gunray is the grinch and we need a Tie-fighter, X-wing, or Millennium Falcon just to break even.
Welcome to day 2 of the Advent Calendar countdown and if the Republic Cruiser didn’t get you into the Christmas spirit maybe a Nute Gunray mini-figure will. Or maybe not.
Nute Gunray was a Neimoidian from the planet Neimoidia. Following a stint as Minister for the Trade Federation, he rose in power after the Stark Hyperspace War in 44 BBY, eventually becoming Viceroy of the Trade Federation. In 32 BBY, Gunray participated in the occupation of Naboo to settle a trade dispute that began in the Galactic Senate.
If that doesn’t say Merry Christmas what does? I didn’t expect Ewoks riding reindeer (ok – I did) but this seems like we are off to a slower than usual start. That being said the weekend is coming and we have 22 more gifts to open. Maybe things will get better.
Hark! Harold the angel sang! Wait Harold was an angel? Welcome to another year of the Lego Advent Calendar (2009 – 2010). This year we are celebrating Star Wars and starting off with a mini Republic Cruiser.
The Consular-class space cruiser was a starship designed and manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and used by the Galactic Republic to transport Jedi and diplomats to troubled spots across the galaxy.
So if you asked yourself – “What’s geekier than a Lego Advent Calendar?” you have your answer. A Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar. Prepare for the jump to hyper-speed because we have a 23 days to go until Santa Claus!
I like Star Wars. I like Darth Vader. I like Kenny Powers.
A NSFW mash-up of Kenny Powers and Darth Vader? Awesome.
Click here to watch the video and enjoy – don’t show George Lucas or it may end up in the next version of the Blu-ray X-ray 3D Hologram version of Star Wars.

Travis sent me this and it is great.
I don’t think there is a ton that needs to be said here just watch the video and enjoy.
I found the images to the right when I was putting together the post. I wish I could get a real Storm Trooper helmet like that.
