Another day – another good toy on our countdown to Christmas. Today is an Imperial Shuttle.
The Lambda-class T-4a shuttle was a standard light utility craft in common use throughout the Imperial military as a transport for troops and high-ranking individuals.
Rookie One is giving us a hand displaying the shuttle so you can see the wings extended. This little guy will look great beside the full-size model after Christmas.
It the continued theme of getting a minifig and having a gift appear for them the next day we have a mini X-Wing.
Possessing deflector shields, a hyperdrive, an R2 astromech for repairs and navigation, and a complement of proton torpedoes, the X-wing allowed the Rebellion to launch raids in Imperial space with improved odds of a successful mission.
Let me translate – you want one of these if you have a Death Star to kill. In a word like Samuel L. Jackson “this mofo is bada$$.” Or as Lando Calrissian might say “Drink Colt 45″ – how do you think he bought Cloud City? Pimpin’ ain’t easy. Wait… isn’t this an Advent Calendar? Better clean up my act. There are only 15 days did Santa is here.
More good news on the Advent Calendar front and this time it is a Rebel Pilot. I am assuming – based at least on his helmet that he is rookie perhaps Rookie One?
“Rookie One” was the handle of a Human pilot who fought for the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War; it was used to refer to him during his training prior to the Battle of Yavin, but stuck as a nickname later, typically used instead of his actual name.
Wait – you didn’t know every character in Star Wars had an unbelievably extensive background story? Yes – and it gets a little obnoxious. At least we are staying on a really good run of cool presents – hopefully we stay away from any more Clone War nonsense.
It didn’t take long for Chewie to test the bowcaster and as if we had to guess – it works.
This proves that the original trilogy is the best. Not that anyone here was questioning that – especially as long as the wookie has the weapon.
In the same way that Nute Gunray received a gift of a Mecho-chair the day after his appearance it looks like Chewie is being gifted a bowcaster and tools. Strangely I am much less bitter about it. Now if I can convice Chewie to shoot the leg off the Mecho-chair the world will be a better place.
The bowcaster (sometimes called the Wookiee Crossbow) was a Wookiee projectile weapon that fired a metal quarrel enveloped in energy, however some bowcasters were modified to fire pure energy. Some variants had a capacity of twenty-four shots.
So there you go – we armed the wookie and now the party can really get started.
