Chariot Race/Battle
Before I begin I want to say i know that the chariots are terrible, absolutly terrible but they get the job done. The field is about 3 feet long so at max speed a chariot would be able to cross in 4 turns.
First is the contestants:
Left - Human - Axe, 2 one-shot crossbows - Horses w/ axes and spikes
Middle - Wookie and Ewok - Axe, spear, sword, dagger, crossbow, 2 grappleing hooks - Horses w/ axes
Right - Skeleton - sword, 2 spears, chain mace - Skeleton horses w/ axe

The Battle Field: (Unfortunately no spectators)

Turn 1:
Human picks up crossbow
Ewok 1 jumps to human chariot and fails
Skeleton throws chain mace into Wookie wheel (lucky shot)
Skeleton Horse hits Wookie horse and clashes

Turn 2:
Human fires at S. Horse and does nothing
Wookie is speared by Skeleton (there goes the leader...)
Ewok 1 jumps back onto chariot
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3347268
Turn 3:

omg, a sweet chariot death race! Yay winner! We need to learn from this: always make your favorite combatant phail getting into his chariot at the beginning so he wins in the end! I like the skeleton's chariot the most for some reason.. :? anyway my only critique would be could you resize the images more before you upload them to Bs?
other than that i thought that was very entertaining :)
yea that is quite big and all the pix took a little long to load fully.Image resized from 6009x4509
other than that i thought that was very entertaining :)

This is a really sweet idea! I wonder how a sci-fi version would look while still retaining the whole chariot theme. Maybe the old fashoined three wheeler bikes with a hitch in the back for a turretman? Or a Custom Speederbike race?
When cities burn and armies turn to flee in diseray
The weak ones cry "tis best to fly and fight another day!"
But true heroes know deep in their marrow when they die and fall,
"Tis better to have faught and lost, than to have never faught at all!"

Yeah, I love how heavily Lucas drew on classic story elements that have been around for such a long time.
There are several allusions (not sure if that's the right word here or not) to the old Errol Flynn pirate movies. Episode II even has a shot where two ships pull up side by side and blast each other with their cannons. Luke and Leia swinging across a chasm on a cable (rope) anyone?!
And the Laurel and Hardy/Abbot and Costello match-up of R2-D2 and C-3PO. One is tall, skinny, and plays the straight man... the other short, fat, and the always says something funny (even if it is beeps and boops).
Even the twists and turns in the script are borrowed right out of Greek literature (and thusly our friend, Billy Shakes).

there's also that old norwegian tale where this nine year old successfully seduces the 14 year old queen of another nation, and then meets up ten years later to swap cheesy "my love for you is like a river of lovely, loving love"s, but then he goes nuts and kills her.
.... oh. right. nevermind.
