Any chance you could makeΒ several postsΒ of the Sith clone,Β Jek-14, as he changed over the years (Phase 2 armor; Stormtrooper armor; andΒ Master Robes)?
I can't exactly commission them, but I'm sure as a fellowΒ Star Wars fan you would also want to see him drawn in this amazing style of yours. Though I would prefer it -ifΒ you were to do it- that he weren't drawn as aΒ Lego character.

Wait, that character had three designs? Huh.Β

Well, there were at the time of that comment. Now there are a few more.
In total and chronological order, 1: Sith Prototype Phase 2 Clone Armor (original Yoda Chronicles version), 2: Force Builder Stormtrooper Armor (Start of second season episode 1 when he helped recover the Jedi Holocrons from the Empire), 3: Rogue Outcast Robes (Hunt for the Holocrons series, which he adorned whilst he was in hiding and when he was mentoring Luke), and lastly, 4: Master Builder Robes (Which he had during the Freemakers series on Raxes Prime)

Wait, he's in Freeemakers? Does... does that make him canon now?!Β
π: 0 β©: 1
In a way, but Disney also had him in "Hunt for the Holocrons", so he was technically canon before the Free makers.
That said, Disney never actually changed the LEGO canon, made evident when they featured an Old Republic Jedi Corrilian Defender Starship in a recent Freemaker episode.

That seems odd. I mean, his origin involved him being cloned using DNA from General Grevious. That doesn't seem like it would even be possible!Β

I don't recall that from the main story, only in the short clips where they tried and failed. But actually, that would explain a few things,
Grevious isn't actually a droid, by a Kaleesh cyborg. So mix Kaleesh DNA with Mandalorian DNA, then add a dash of Kaiber crystal, and your bound to have created something.

Oh no. I have foreseen it. He's coming to call me a TRAITOR

TRAITOR
I like that fight scene, it was something different considering we've never seen Stormtroopers fight hand to hand combat before

They wanted to make the troopers different for once.

They... hit something?

That weapon confused me, you see if Luke was the only Jedi left (and yet they didn't find him) why would they keep those batons for Jedi's, if there aren't any around?
π: 0 β©: 2
Also this was after the Jedi came out of hiding and kylo Ren was most likely to face.

Wonder how many fan fictions will go up for this one guy?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not just that.
Looking around the internet, he may be becoming the new Boba Fett, attracting the hearts of those around to where there may actually be more cannon for the character if it continues on the track it has been thus far.

Dark-Delta - Honestly, I think that Captain Phasma is the new Boba Fett. The fans' disappointment at her minor relevance to the plot got her a comeback in Episode 8. As for TR-8R... we'll have to wait and see.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
She was likely intended to fulfill that role, but the real criteria for being the new Boba Fett is essentially just being some minor character that everyone thinks is cool, enough so to cause an immense rise in popularity. TR-8R has done this, and unless something changes within the next two movies, Phasma probably won't.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's a fair point. Phasma certainly has a following, but it's definitely not the same kind of following that TR-8R has. Granted, TR-8R also became a meme, but the "people thought that he was cool" factor probably has something to do with that.Β
I feel that there being more canon for the character is a little unlikely, though. True, viewers loved him for that scene where he showed up, but he's still just a random stormtrooper. He does have an official serial number (that unfortunately is not TR-8R), though.Β
We'll have to wait and see what happens!Β

True, but he is dead. If anything he could be like carmine from gears of war and have brothers.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, alternatively they could just do backstory leading up to that point
And they may, if it continues on the Boba Fett route, do something to stop him from dying at that point and have him appear in the EU.
π: 0 β©: 1
True. Like he has reinforced armor or something. Idk. Otherwise, only time will tell.

Kylo Ren survived a Boltcaster shot, and he wasn't even wearing armour.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah.
Plus it'd be nice to show that the armour isn't just worthless plastic.

Another awesome art and awesome video. I am still curious how do you fill the lineart with colour with one click ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry I never got back to you!
So, once you have your inks all laid out, turn off any sketch layers so all you can see is a blank background (I leave it white for now) and your lineart that you want filled. Create a new layer, between your background color layer, and your inks. Then, take the magic want tool (make sure that "anti-alias", "contiguous" and "sample are layers" all have checks on top) and click on all of the areas you DON'T want to color. So all of the empty space around your character. Now with all that selected, at the top of the program you're going to go to Select - Modify - Expand. Depending on how thick your line art is, you'll want to do between 2 - 4 pixels, and then click on OK. Now go to Select - Inverse (or just use the got keys Shift + CTRL + I if you're on a PC like me). What Inverse did was reverse everything you had selected, and now the selection is your entire character! It's just way faster than selecting individual parts of the lineart so I typically do that, and then I fill it with the color I'm going to be using the most. To fill with your foreground color, hit ALT + Backspace, and to fill with your background color, hit CTRL + Backspace. Hope that helps!

If he can hold his own against Finn, then the rebellion is screwd. Which is how it should be.
