Fun film facts: The Phantom Menace was shot on 35mm Film, while Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith were shot on some of the first professional HD Cinema Video Cameras so their colours aren't as vibrant.
First movie was on one of the most colourful plants in the universe so the colors were vibrant, second and third movie was a lot of space and industrial plants that were more greys. 35mm is great but it's vibrant colors were from cgi and not the camera
Exactly my thoughts. It is like watching that one dwarven referee from blood bowl giving the halflings their first victory after 99 defeats (yes, they even lost by default when the other team didn't make it to the game)
@@sirrathersplendid4825 I don’t play competitive. I don’t know of anyone in my area that plays Legion, I play with my brother. We just stick to casual play. I guess I just assumed that most competitive play would stick close to the rules. An all Wookiee army is technically illegal due to all infantry being special forces. I believe you need at least 2 basic infantry to have a legal army. Regardless, it’s still fun playing all Wookiee’s.
@@spiffymussel1537 // Well, in your circumstances - not to be rude or anything - why would you worry about your forces being competition legal? A Wookie force sounds like a truly excellent idea.
@@sirrathersplendid4825 I’m not worried about it. My brother and I got into Legion with the idea that we would only play against each other. The Wookiee force is fun even though I only have 2 squads and the chieftain.
If you are not using a Airbrush or Speedpaints then that's not surprising at all. With regular acrylics 15 minutes isn't enough time to get a model halfway done. (And done doesn't mean looking good)
The Gorgonites from Small Soldiers were always my favourite toys growing up and I also mained them in the RTS small soldiers game on PC! Can't imagine why a film about different-looking creatures that just wanted to learn and didn't know how to fight resonated with me.
Jay: *Kroot kill team with Krootox Riders and Kroot Hounds* No problems here! Also Jay: Is it weird that Kaadu look worryingly similar to Gungans? Jay come on XD
I mean it's because Kroot hounds and Krootox are actually Kroot warriors who just snacked on more primitive beings enough that it changes them. But that isn't how Gungans and Kaadu work as far as we know. The man knows his lore
So freaking awesome. I remember playing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and it seemed like I was the only one who would ever play the Gungans. Was never really a fan of Jarjar but I always thought the Gungans were still cool. I would love to see you expand the army with a Fambaa or maybe some other unit from Battlegrounds.
I thought the Gungans were more interesting than the royal naboo tbh but I've always been heavily biased in favor of factions that use a shit ton of robots and mechs like the Trade Federation and Empire. Jar Jar being basically the face of Gungans for all the prequels didn't help tbh. Safe to say I didn't have the highest or even a good opinion of the Gungans until I played this game. Gungans were my favorite faction in SW:GB easily but quite frankly they were also so the most broken haha. One of the best Mech(tied with Empire or slightly better) and one of the best heavy weapons(top 3 I think) AND had a mobile shield generator. Game over man.
i was scrolling through here cause i was like, why didnt he make a shield generator monster? but i suppose theres something in the tabletop rules im sure SWGB isnt based on any facts lol but i loved their faction in SWGB.
My dudes, I am so glad I found your channel. I really love your excitement and evident love of the hobby. A friend and I have recently gotten into 40k after a 15+ year break from warhammer fantasy, and your channel has been a joy to watch. So much inspiration. Your channel is the only one I have wanted to become a pattern of, and I will when I remember and get around to it. You deserve it from entertaining me while I put my 10 month old daughter to sleep. Thank you!
These are awesome but I’m actually so weirdly most hyped that normal bog-standard flock paper is an accurate and acceptable basing technique for an army 😂
Love your enthusiasm over the Gungans. As a fellow Gungan enthusiast, I applaud you. Reminds me of the all Ewok army I've been making. I just love all of George's dumb little aliens he made for his space opera. Enjoy your Gungans Jay, hope they eventually get added to Legion so you have a chance to play them. (Doubtful, but if they added Ewoks, anythings possible.)
I love phantom menace. I was 7 years old when it came out, it was the first time mom took me to the cinema, it was first sci-fi and cgi movie i ever saw and my tiny brain got blown away by it watching it now, i am fully aware of its many flaws, but that cannot take away the impact it had on me when i was a kid and i still love to watch it form time to time
Growing up jar jar binks and the phantom menace were always my favorites and then finding out that everyone else hated them was honestly kinda heartbreaking. It is really awesome to see someone else who loves the gungans just as much as me and my brother do.
Exactly. I grew up watching the early movies and love them but phantom menace is my favourite. I don't understand why everybody hates it. It as the coolest main characters, some of the best music and is just a great movie.

The purple bases actually compliment the shields and entergy balls pretty well! Love the army. Maybe the catapults deserved a bit more love lol but they still look great and fit the vibe well
I could tell how much passion you had for it within minutes of this video. With how serious you took this project I might actually want to paint an army like that. I hope that one day Terryl Whitlatch can see this video and see the appreciation for her work.
The Phantom Menace is the reason why I feel in love with Star Wars. I rarely see people who like this movie. I rarely see people who like the GUNGANS but I think they’re awesome!.!.
I have very little interest in wargaming miniatures OR Gungans, but Jay just has so much charisma and enthusiasm that I ended up watching the whole thing!
Would absolutely love to see a battle report of these guys! Videos like these are the reason you're my favorite channel! Thanks for your positivity and inspiration! Keep it cool king
Side note I was moving into my new condo and a lady saw me in the elevator with boxes of Warhammer stuff. She said “wow your kid is going to be so happy with all that stuff you got for them” I said I have no children. And the look on her face …. Priceless….
Glad to see another Galactic Battlegrounds enjoyer. You'll be happy to know that the game still has a dedicated community and the Expanding Fronts mod team is keeping it alive, accessible and updated. You'll also be happy to know that the Gungans are, in fact, the meta faction as it were.
Along with Gungans I ADORE The Ewoks, Jawas, Tuskans, Trandoshans, Dathamoor Witches, Ugnaughts, Gamorians, Rancor, Wampa, WOOKIES, all of these bizzare and beautiful races with so much flavor and badassery! I REEEAAALLY want for there to be a Mercenary expansion that adds all of these guys AND MORE to be available to all the factions as specialty and flavor troops, with some factions able to take certain ones in greater number than others!
My favorite thing that is my bread and butter, huh? Easy, Lightsabers. Every Lightsaber is unique to it's wielder. I love going through Google/Bing Images, finding a Lightsaber design that I like, and learning about it's wielder. I also love drawing them so much! The best thing to come out of The Sequel Trilogy is the Crossgaurd-Lightsaber, and I'm not the only one who utilized that in their drawings. In Legends, during The Clone Wars, there was a Jedi who had a curved Lightsaber that had a single beam of Lightsaber energy tilted at a 45° angle upward near the emitter. Also, I'm playing a DnD campaign in the Legends SWU as a Gungan Engineer, so this video was SUPER fun to watch!
Still, to this day, one of my all time favorite vids. The happiness and enthusiasm, with a sprinkling of story ... bravo. Just had to watch it again cause it always brings a smile to my face.
Mesa enjoyed this video! Great video, and an awesome army! Gives me the itch to make a custom one. Glad someone else has my love for the Gungan and the Phantom Menace, lol.
In my opinion, the greatest thing about Star Wars is how each clone customized his armour, and by the end of the clone wars they all looked different and had their own identity
It really is a shame that we haven't seen a clone game FPS where we get to customize our guy and the choices we make in the campaign affect your brothers in your squad, until you get to order 66 and your choices lead to either your guys and you not doing order 66, you don't do it so they shoot you for treason, and yall all do
The Royal Naboo Security Forces were always my favourite, I played Battlegrounds as well and this was always my favourite faction. This video reaches out to me, the idea of creating your own army from a setting you love that has not had the representation you would've like. Amazing work, and well done.
Ngl I always liked Jar Jar and the gungans appealed to me as a kid. Nowadays I still don't get why Jar Jar got so much shit lmfao. These minis are sick btw, great work!
People joke, but Jar Jar worked. I loved him as a kid too. If you were in the right age range, then Jar Jar was the only intresting part of that movie.
i love that as an old gamer i get to see a different generation's love of star wars. Also, Im glad its not the same way i love star wars. This speed painting is just like spinning, its a good trick.
This really felt like an heartfelt compassion about his favorite Star Wars army the gungans and yeah I played the computer game too and no it still works on win 10 bought it on steam and I like to play Republic or IMPERIUM!!!
I have never watched or consumed any figure painting content but this video was astoundingly delightful and I watched every bit of it. Thank you for sharing.
I feel like you and I grew up the same. Loved galactic battlegrounds, grew up on the prequels, checked out every star wars book at the library many times over. This whole video made me feel nostalgic.
Man this video brought me so much joy, what a blast to see you hyped up about the Gungans! I’ve been saying the GAR needs Gungan reinforcements since I started Legion. Maybe one day we’ll see a Gungan battleforce?
Gotta say the absolutely unflinching love you have for the Gungans is hugely refreshing and your dedication to bringing them to life is impressive. As for relatively overlooked parts of Star Wars I love, I gotta say the Tri Droids are absolutely slept on. Not the Tri Fighters, but the tall three-legged droids only seen during the background of the scenes set on Utapau. It’s just so cool to me, especially since I’m already such a fan of both droids and the war of the worlds. There are taller variants of Tri droids seen on Mygeeto, Crystophsis, and even flying ones that the Techno Union used against the Bad Batch in that arc of the Clone Wars, but the smaller more nimble ones that still tower over the clones are my favourite.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Your love came through in the video, and process of your painting. I love your energy and enthusiasm throughout. Bravo!
This army is a thing of beauty. I loved gungans ever since I first saw TPM when I was twelve, and seeing an army of them now that I'm years older and into tabletop gaming makes me feel a little bit like I did all those years ago.
One thing I really love to nerd out about is Battlebots. So much goes into it, from building the robot, to competing, then fixing the robot. It’s amazing what these teams do to be on the show. I also really love Magic: the Gathering. There’s so much interesting lore to sift through, from different planes (worlds), interesting characters, and fascinating creatures and wondering how their biology works. I mean Thrulls are made from fleshaping dead flesh and making into something that lives and breathes again, but isn’t anything close to what it once was. Makes one wonder how its biology works now.
I share your love for the goofy gungans! Growing up that battle scene in particular was awe inspiring. The ragged primitives vs a cold imposing mechanical army was amazing. The movie is what it is but the setup for the battle was great and went just about as you would have expected, a certain loss for the good guys had Anakin not done the impossible. Made the Gungans all the more sympathetic in their bravery. And yes, Jar Jar sucks. Tarpals best.
That was fun, thank you! I actually have nothing to do with tabletop games and the like, but I watched the whole video and enjoyed it. The army looks really superb! And lots of interesting extra Info about the gungans I didn't know yet, though I thought of myself being knowledgable about Star Wars ^^ Greetz from germany!
Every time you reference a video game on this channel it's always one that I used to love as a kid. I can't even fathom a guess the hundreds, if not thousands of hours I put into SWGB. I used to design campaigns and upload them to the HeavenGames fan site. The army came out awesome and the purple base rims were a nice touch. Everyone talks shit about the Gungans, but they are canonically the only ones who managed to beat General Grievous in combat before Obi-Wan eventually would.
For some reason I fell in love with the Turtle from the Book "Momo". She can look a tiny bit into the future which leads to the awesome interaction of "Kasiopeia, where are you going to?" "I'm looking for you". Because the turtle knows she'll be searching for Momo in the future so she leaves Momo to search for her. I don't know why but I allways loved that book and that turtle is a key part of why.
I loved the TPM too, this is an amazing custom army! I had the DK book with all the illustrated cutaways of the Trade Federation's equipment, I loved the clear unified aesthetic of Baktoid's battle droid and vehicle designs and I thought all the new droids that were added in Ep. 2 and 3 didn't live up to the originals. I am focusing on historicals right now, but a TPM era Trade Federation Legion army is definitely on my bucket list.
The Gungan battle takes place on the microsoft XP default wallpaper, I'm glad you picked the appropriate astroturf flocking! Also, I got given the Phantom Menace as a birthday present and also gained a lot of love for that movie over hundreds of viewings. Dude - i think your Gungan love is contagious and I'm so here for it.
might be a bit simple but I love weaponized, beaten up, rusty, armored over the top vehicles. the most obvious of this are the vehicles from mad max, the love that goes into each of them is amazing, the fact that they all worked blows my mind. The cars from the modern death race movies are also just pure perfection, pachenko's buick riviera is the single most bad ass vehicle to ever hit the screen and you can not change my mind.
Finally someone who not only who loves the Gungans too, but also played them in Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. An amazing set of minis, and a very well done paint.
This is a glorious project. On the Gungan-horse things, they always reminded me of the Kroot and their offshoots. Something of the Gungans definitely feed into the design of the Kroot, with everything looking/having the same evolutionary origin.
Really nice video to watch. So cool so see how much you like thr gungans, and the effort you whent through to add all their backstory and lore in to this video.
Very nice build and re-use of an existing toy. The scale works perfectly with Legion. Also, I too mained Gungans in Galactic Battlegrounds. The Fambaa Shield Generators were almost OP.
When I was young I used to watch Michael Jackson Moonwalker VHS on repeat. I knew all the songs, all the dances and almost every word of the actual film part. But one thing that was my absolute JAM was the scene when Michael turned into a giant robot. Words can’t explain how awestruck I was seeing that, and it never lost its magic. Now in my mid 30s, I watch it every now and again and remember how happy it made me. Brings a tear to my eye 🥲
Great work! I still have my complete Gungan army from over 20 years ago, almost entirely made from Action Fleet figures, including two fambaas carrying shield generator beam and drum components. My rules for Ep 1 troops are included in the Unofficial Star Wars Miniatures Battles 3rd Edition rules, still available free out there on the interwebs.
I thought it was just me! I played that RTS always as the Gungans and really wanted minis for legion but I'm still waiting. You might have convinced me to print up some of my own. They turned out so good!
Great video. One of the things I've always wanted to see were the Rak'Gol in 40k. They were featured in the Rogue Trader rpg from years ago, and they always stood out to me as such a cool design.
I just recently found your channel and i think you have became my favorite youtuber to watch paint stuff. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
My "Jam" from a Franchise is not a Small Part of that but still not as wiedly appreciated. I LOVE the Starship Troopers Arachnid Empire. I Adore the Design of each Creature. I love their Species Structure. I love their Army. I love them so much. As much as i got into the Starship Troopers Miniatures Game and into all Comics.
Love this video! You talked about all my favorite things, Star Wars Legion, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and mini painting :) We need more Star Wars Legion content from you!
Dude, this is awesome. Episode I is definitely underrated. It's not the best, but still nowhere near as bad as people say. I love the aesthetics of the planet Naboo. I recently found and built a model kit of the N1 Naboo Starfighter from 1999 and gave it a sweet paint job with bright yellow and Alclad chrome. I love how 50s hot-rod retro they feel.

Fun film facts: The Phantom Menace was shot on 35mm Film, while Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith were shot on some of the first professional HD Cinema Video Cameras so their colours aren't as vibrant.
better to think it was brighter because vader had yet to reach a level of threat to the universe :)
Always thought the phantom menace had lighter colours, cool fact man.
That explains why the 4k version looks so dark, they made all the movies consistent. I put the bluray version in first and it was much brighter.
Not exclusivly on film, it was the first film to be shot digitaly at least in part. 😊
First movie was on one of the most colourful plants in the universe so the colors were vibrant, second and third movie was a lot of space and industrial plants that were more greys. 35mm is great but it's vibrant colors were from cgi and not the camera
I absolutely love how unapologetically you adore the Gungans! This was a joy to watch.
Exactly my thoughts. It is like watching that one dwarven referee from blood bowl giving the halflings their first victory after 99 defeats (yes, they even lost by default when the other team didn't make it to the game)

Love this project. I had a strong "Behold... My stuff!" vibe at the very beginning of the video.
Quality, I was literally thinking today at work how cool a Gungan legion army would be, well done man 🤘🏼🤘🏼
wheres darth jar jar?
Ngl I always liked Jar Jar and the gungans appealed to me as a kid. Nowadays I still don't get why Jar Jar got so much shit lmfao. These minis are sick btw, great work!
People joke, but Jar Jar worked. I loved him as a kid too. If you were in the right age range, then Jar Jar was the only intresting part of that movie.
Darth jar jar binks should have been the emperor
i love that as an old gamer i get to see a different generation's love of star wars. Also, Im glad its not the same way i love star wars. This speed painting is just like spinning, its a good trick.
This really felt like an heartfelt compassion about his favorite Star Wars army the gungans and yeah I played the computer game too and no it still works on win 10 bought it on steam and I like to play Republic or IMPERIUM!!!
I have never watched or consumed any figure painting content but this video was astoundingly delightful and I watched every bit of it. Thank you for sharing.
Weesa in big poodoo now
I feel like you and I grew up the same. Loved galactic battlegrounds, grew up on the prequels, checked out every star wars book at the library many times over. This whole video made me feel nostalgic.
Man this video brought me so much joy, what a blast to see you hyped up about the Gungans! I’ve been saying the GAR needs Gungan reinforcements since I started Legion. Maybe one day we’ll see a Gungan battleforce?
Gotta say the absolutely unflinching love you have for the Gungans is hugely refreshing and your dedication to bringing them to life is impressive.
As for relatively overlooked parts of Star Wars I love, I gotta say the Tri Droids are absolutely slept on. Not the Tri Fighters, but the tall three-legged droids only seen during the background of the scenes set on Utapau. It’s just so cool to me, especially since I’m already such a fan of both droids and the war of the worlds. There are taller variants of Tri droids seen on Mygeeto, Crystophsis, and even flying ones that the Techno Union used against the Bad Batch in that arc of the Clone Wars, but the smaller more nimble ones that still tower over the clones are my favourite.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Your love came through in the video, and process of your painting. I love your energy and enthusiasm throughout. Bravo!
Please do more army building + Lore Dumps.
I didn't know I needed this in my life.
I genuinely love how excited you were to make that army! Lore and all. Suscribed.
This army is a thing of beauty. I loved gungans ever since I first saw TPM when I was twelve, and seeing an army of them now that I'm years older and into tabletop gaming makes me feel a little bit like I did all those years ago.
One thing I really love to nerd out about is Battlebots. So much goes into it, from building the robot, to competing, then fixing the robot. It’s amazing what these teams do to be on the show.
I also really love Magic: the Gathering. There’s so much interesting lore to sift through, from different planes (worlds), interesting characters, and fascinating creatures and wondering how their biology works. I mean Thrulls are made from fleshaping dead flesh and making into something that lives and breathes again, but isn’t anything close to what it once was. Makes one wonder how its biology works now.
Phenomenal work. I'd love to do a gungan army as soon as I get a 3d printer! Using the old 90s toys as artillery was absolute genius!
I share your love for the goofy gungans! Growing up that battle scene in particular was awe inspiring. The ragged primitives vs a cold imposing mechanical army was amazing. The movie is what it is but the setup for the battle was great and went just about as you would have expected, a certain loss for the good guys had Anakin not done the impossible. Made the Gungans all the more sympathetic in their bravery. And yes, Jar Jar sucks. Tarpals best.
That was fun, thank you! I actually have nothing to do with tabletop games and the like, but I watched the whole video and enjoyed it. The army looks really superb! And lots of interesting extra Info about the gungans I didn't know yet, though I thought of myself being knowledgable about Star Wars ^^ Greetz from germany!
great video, your enthusiasm is infectious . Off to work on my Legion project for the movie that I most enjoyed as a kid, the rebels' defense of Hoth!
Every time you reference a video game on this channel it's always one that I used to love as a kid. I can't even fathom a guess the hundreds, if not thousands of hours I put into SWGB. I used to design campaigns and upload them to the HeavenGames fan site.
The army came out awesome and the purple base rims were a nice touch. Everyone talks shit about the Gungans, but they are canonically the only ones who managed to beat General Grievous in combat before Obi-Wan eventually would.
For some reason I fell in love with the Turtle from the Book "Momo". She can look a tiny bit into the future which leads to the awesome interaction of "Kasiopeia, where are you going to?" "I'm looking for you". Because the turtle knows she'll be searching for Momo in the future so she leaves Momo to search for her. I don't know why but I allways loved that book and that turtle is a key part of why.
I loved the TPM too, this is an amazing custom army! I had the DK book with all the illustrated cutaways of the Trade Federation's equipment, I loved the clear unified aesthetic of Baktoid's battle droid and vehicle designs and I thought all the new droids that were added in Ep. 2 and 3 didn't live up to the originals.
I am focusing on historicals right now, but a TPM era Trade Federation Legion army is definitely on my bucket list.
The Gungan battle takes place on the microsoft XP default wallpaper, I'm glad you picked the appropriate astroturf flocking!
Also, I got given the Phantom Menace as a birthday present and also gained a lot of love for that movie over hundreds of viewings. Dude - i think your Gungan love is contagious and I'm so here for it.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious! I loved Star Wars battlegrounds!
might be a bit simple but I love weaponized, beaten up, rusty, armored over the top vehicles. the most obvious of this are the vehicles from mad max, the love that goes into each of them is amazing, the fact that they all worked blows my mind. The cars from the modern death race movies are also just pure perfection, pachenko's buick riviera is the single most bad ass vehicle to ever hit the screen and you can not change my mind.
I'm not a wargamer, I just like watching other people kitbash. I find your enthusiasm infectious.
He won't see this but I'll try anyway. Roos Tarpals died in the Clone Wars, sacrificing himself to capture Grievous. Great guy indeed.
Same IP but starfighter battles in Star Wars. I would watch a whole movie of just the fighters zipping around, doing bombing runs, refueling, etc.
I don't paint, I don't War game, and I don't collect minis, but you having fun, laughing, and having a sense of humor has earned a sub.
Thank you!
Finally someone who not only who loves the Gungans too, but also played them in Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
An amazing set of minis, and a very well done paint.
Duderino! I love watching your videos. Your way of being is just comforting, in a world where so much seems staged, acted and not genuine.
Thank you!
Your enthusiasm made this very entertaining. Thank you!
This is a glorious project. On the Gungan-horse things, they always reminded me of the Kroot and their offshoots. Something of the Gungans definitely feed into the design of the Kroot, with everything looking/having the same evolutionary origin.
I absolutely love this and I have never felt envy like this before!
Good for you!
Really nice video to watch. So cool so see how much you like thr gungans, and the effort you whent through to add all their backstory and lore in to this video.
Very nice build and re-use of an existing toy. The scale works perfectly with Legion. Also, I too mained Gungans in Galactic Battlegrounds. The Fambaa Shield Generators were almost OP.
I was about the only one I knew that loved Jar Jar Binks, so this army is freakin' SWEEET! The purple bases look amazing!
When I was young I used to watch Michael Jackson Moonwalker VHS on repeat. I knew all the songs, all the dances and almost every word of the actual film part. But one thing that was my absolute JAM was the scene when Michael turned into a giant robot. Words can’t explain how awestruck I was seeing that, and it never lost its magic. Now in my mid 30s, I watch it every now and again and remember how happy it made me. Brings a tear to my eye 🥲
Great work! I still have my complete Gungan army from over 20 years ago, almost entirely made from Action Fleet figures, including two fambaas carrying shield generator beam and drum components. My rules for Ep 1 troops are included in the Unofficial Star Wars Miniatures Battles 3rd Edition rules, still available free out there on the interwebs.
Bro you killed this! Love the video and how you gave cool facts throughout!
Great video! I cant say I was a big fan of them in the movie, but they were my favorite faction in Galactic Battlegrounds.
Happy I am not alone in my love for the gungans. Your army is amazing and I was shouting star wars galactic battlegrounds while watching!
Not super unique but something about the B1s and droids in general really caught my heart and imagination
I thought it was just me! I played that RTS always as the Gungans and really wanted minis for legion but I'm still waiting. You might have convinced me to print up some of my own. They turned out so good!
This was awesome man. You nailed it. Great work.
Great video. One of the things I've always wanted to see were the Rak'Gol in 40k. They were featured in the Rogue Trader rpg from years ago, and they always stood out to me as such a cool design.
I just recently found your channel and i think you have became my favorite youtuber to watch paint stuff. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
i've unapologetically loved jar jar and gungan design since they came out, cool to see the love!
My "Jam" from a Franchise is not a Small Part of that but still not as wiedly appreciated.
I LOVE the Starship Troopers Arachnid Empire.
I Adore the Design of each Creature.
I love their Species Structure. I love their Army. I love them so much.
As much as i got into the Starship Troopers Miniatures Game and into all Comics.
I love your enthusiasm! I also love Episode 1! Fond childhood memories!
Love this video! You talked about all my favorite things, Star Wars Legion, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and mini painting :) We need more Star Wars Legion content from you!
Nice Jay, those models are freekin cool! Best part about this video was your passion for these guys. 👍
Dude, this is awesome. Episode I is definitely underrated. It's not the best, but still nowhere near as bad as people say. I love the aesthetics of the planet Naboo. I recently found and built a model kit of the N1 Naboo Starfighter from 1999 and gave it a sweet paint job with bright yellow and Alclad chrome. I love how 50s hot-rod retro they feel.
