A galaxy far, far away hits home in plenty of ways. And now it’s making a welcome environment for the LGBT+ fans and community, giving them new characters to adore and identify with. Mostly canon, but definitely an article, keep reading for a look at great LGBT+ Star Wars characters across Legends and Canon!
The Site is not Dead and Here’s Two Lego Jawas in a Trench Coat to Prove It
No words. Just Utooni. Okay a few words…
It’s been a while. I’m always working on stuff but I’m really bad about sharing it. Looking to post here more often, if nothing else just to have my ideas down. Anyway, I tried building Utooni from the upcoming Star Wars game Hunters.
These little ones were no easy task. Took a few tries to get one I was happy enough with sharing. Utooni is simply two Jawas scrapped from the waist down. Lower Jawa (are they collectively Utooni, both named Utooni..?) has a 2×4 bracket on his back supporting a brick-built backpack to hold the second Jawa up as close to the shoulder area I could manage. I tried half a dozen combinations of capes before settling on The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker’s cape, which isn’t a match for color but does hide the backpack slightly better with its shape.
If you like purist figures or random Star Wars tat and references, follow me on Instagram @SupremeLeaderD for more frequent updates. Let me know if you like this thing or if I’m crazy for trying to build this character purist.

Look sir, droids!
Mandalorians: What’s in a Name? -or- Are Jango and Boba Fett Mandalorians or Not?
Mandalorians. Warriors and hunters behind sturdy, customized armor and T-visor helmets. What makes a Mandalorian? And what makes someone not a Mandalorian? My fan theory posits that Jango Fett and Boba Fett were Mandalorians at a time, but certain events pushed them from a culture that once welcomed them…

Jango Fett was just a man trying to make his way in the universe. And five of his cloned offspring are about to do the same in 2021 with a surprising new animated series from the minds behind Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
The Mandalorian: Purist “Client” and Doctor Pershing (Lego Customs)
Some Mando content for this Friday, a relatively easy custom if you can splurge a bit on the unique Bodhi Rook head from Rogue One.
And My custom Client figure because I don’t think it made it over here from my Instagram (@Supreme_Leader_D) We probably aren’t getting this duo in sets any time soon so I knew I had to make them, really happy with how they turned out.
Project K Part 5: Allies, Juhani and Mission
Knights of the Old Republic has no shortage of strong female characters, regardless of whether they are Force wielders or just regular people trying to make their way in the universe. The street smart Mission Vao and conflicted Jedi known as Juhani are only two of many great characters in the series’s first installment, and now they are here, brought back in Lego form!

Farce Troopers – Episode II: A New Nope
Reinforcements have arrived, and they are wacky.
Purist Baldarek the Bartender
Achievement unlocked (this is before games had achievements.) I always wanted a Baldarek figure! No, I don’t know why. Look, there’s a quarantine on, I don’t have a lot of content right now. Stay safe everyone. And never trust a bartender with bad grammar.

Or “A New Hope: Why the High Republic isn’t the Old Republic, but that is Alright Probably. And Star Wars discourse is incredibly annoying.”

Concept Art: Temple of the Elements
It’s been an uneventful couple of weeks – I got sick and my wife soon followed with an unrelated sick I’m hoping not to also catch. So I was eager to get back into the studio and build something. Here’s a location from my Ghost Division writings brought to brick form!
