For the past few months in what little spare time I have I've been slowly working on a Star Wars fan film - it's basically a spoof with puppet versions of Yoda, Chewie, Clone Troopers, etc.

Tonight I started working on a foam build-up of the head of the new bad guy in Episode III (spoiler alert!) It's been awhile since I've shared some puppet building pics so I've posted pictures of what I've done so far:

I don't know him actually. But he does look cool indeed. Is that foam already that color by itself or did you dye it?

Andrew, that Grievous is Goo-ood! To answer your question, BorkBork, I would love to have Hardware Wars for download! Be sure it's got an English language setting!!!

Thanks guys, this is just a rough mock-up so far though. I'm still not sure how to do the four arms manipulation-wise (he has to be able to wield four lightsabers). I hope to get the head finished this weekend, I'll post more pics soon.

BTW, Hardware Wars is the original Star Wars fanfilm.

Umm...I hate to be a spoil sport and throw cold water on everything, but should you really distrbute that without the filmmaker's permission? Although it's been widely pirated for twenty years I don't think it's suppose to be freely distributed. The new special edition with "special defects" is available legally on DVD.

Really Buck? I didn't know that, i thought it was free to distrubute, as i found it online myself...
Well...i guess i'll take it offline...those of you who wants to see it can find it on any p2p anyway.
