    Star Trek Lore: I've no personal interest.
    Star Wars Lore: I can get that elsewhere.
    Lost Lego Lore? That I rarely see put together with such presentation! I eagerly await more of the adventures of Redbeard, the profiles of the Space Factions, and other such content!

    This almost feels like a lost media show about LEGO Pirates, not just a lore show. I don't know, maybe it's just that I've never gotten into researching LEGO Pirate media, but like 99% of the things you talk about in this series are things I have never, ever heard about before. You must be a very, very skilled researcher.

      Thank you! I'm deeply indebted to all the folks who have actually discovered these obscure sources over the years and posted them online. I've just been following every LEGO Pirate media discovery for a very, very long time. :)

    Ok, one thing to note, Captain Redbeard isn't specifically a Buccaneer. "Buccaneer" refers to a specific type of pirate that based themselves on islands instead of using a ship. The word stems from the Caribbean Arawak word "buccan" which refers to a frame used to smoke meat, in a style similar to Spanish Barbacoa. Originally, Buccaneers would set themselves up on beaches to smoke meat, usually beef, pork or manatee. Ships would stop by, noticing the cooking smoke, and they would often buy meat from these "barbacuers". Eventually, though, the Buccaneers realized that these vessels were carrying a lot of gold, so they decided to start raiding the vessels that stopped by rather than selling meat to them. Captain Redbeard doesn't appear to do this, instead being a traditional seafaring pirate.

    • @loreescape47
      @loreescape47  Рік тому +3

      Really appreciate the historical perspective! The term has since been watered down (pun intended) in popular culture to refer to a broader spectrum of pirates. The best example that comes to mind is the 1958 film The Buccaneer about Jean Lafitte. The most relevant example here though would probably be set 6204 Buccaneers, a minifigure set that includes Captain Redbeard. ;)
      But yes, do want to clarify that it's being used in the generic rather than historical sense in this series. :)

      The Pirates storyline blurs the line between good and bad more than almost any other theme, I think.

      The ending will be created by yourself or inspired by some content? if it is inspired can you write to me where did you find that information?
      P.s I can’t wait for this series to have the other episode. Also I recommend to not put the conwuistador in this series they probably belong to a different era.

      ​@@angantyrarmageddon2559 I'm really excited that you're so excited about the next episode--I'm working on it right now. Pirates is my all time favorite theme. I don't have a lot of time to work on these videos right now (real life gets in the way), but I do at least a little bit everyday so I've always got something going.
      I don't like to give release dates or estimates because it's hard to tell when and how much time I'll be able to devote to any given video, and I don't want anyone disappointed if I have to miss an arbitrary release date. I will say that the next episode is about 85% done.
      The last episode will indeed be inspired by existing content--I'll have to make a video about my process one of these days, but most everything in these videos has a basis in actual LEGO content. (This is why I try to include notes about each source in the video.)
      I take some liberties in suggesting connections, drawing reasonable conclusions, and using consistent names across sources. But the reason this is an 8 part continuous story is mostly because once I overlooked some of the surface level inconsistencies, I realized that Redbeard's entire life story, from his birth to his eventual fate, was pretty well laid out in existing stories already in a way that sets him apart from a lot of contemporary LEGO characters.
      I don't want to spoil anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled, but Barracuda Bay, the Pirate River Quest LEGOLAND attraction, the 1996 Pirates Treasure Hunt online game, and the 1994 Treasure Hunt Islander touring show will all figure into the endgame for Redbeard. (In fact, I've already hinted at one of these in the very first episode.)
      That's the current plan, anyway. But new stories are still being told about Redbeard, so anything is possible up until the last video is posted. ;)
      I definitely see where you're coming from with the conquistador-inspired Armada sets. If I were in charge of creating Redbeard's official biography, there are a few things I would attribute to some of Redbeard's notorious ancestors rather than the man himself. But there are enough sources that indicate that the Armada storyline follows directly on from the 1989-1995 sets, such as LEGO Chess and the 1996 Mania Magazines that I'm inclined to go that way instead. (The exact historical setting for LEGO Pirates is a bit of a historical mish-mash anyway. :) )

      @@loreescape47 thank so much that you even responded to me I wasn’t even expecting that you are literally one of my favorite Lego UA-camr since you focus a lot about the lore which for me it is probably the best part of lego.
      And you even have a lot of creativity and I hope you continue to be a UA-camr maybe like an hobby.
      I have only two question left.
      One is:
      What is the most powerful(who that can command the largest and strongest army but he is even a good strategist)Lego pirate leader?
      Now the other question is very very dumb and probably don’t have an official answer but maybe in your pirate imagined universe it has:
      What is the most skilled/strongest swordsman/warrior in Lego pirate?
      (All question are referred to your lego pirate imagined universe because it has a better story than the official one)
      P.a if you don’t want to respond me do so but if you want I would be VERY greatful for.
      Thanks.
