When team 2168 was asked by their alliance asked to play defence, they interpreted the request a little differently.

Much like the British Army guarding the Queen, this young clone trooper wont be distracted by anything while guarding the... "♫WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA♫" Well, that didn't last long.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #387

This is not the droid you are looking for... no, really, it isn't.

{actually, given his age and the uniform (which can be used to date this picture to a long time ago and zero in on the location, which is a galaxy far,far away) it is possible that this clone, assuming no accelerated aging was used, grew up to become that storm trooper on Tatooine.}

It's a trap! The audience can't handle a demo of this magnitude!

Boba Fett Jr hopes the GDC approves carbonite to be legal to use on the robot this year.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #387

Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.

In her cap, she looked much older
And the gun across her shoulder
Make her look a little like a milit'ry man

Lovely Rita, meter maid
May I inquire discreetly,
When are you free to take some tea with me?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #387

This picture was lifted from a rookie training video. The message, "how not to play defense in FRC". The threat won't hold up without the use of weapons, which are currently illegal under G43, R01, R02, R03, R05, and various sections of the inspection checklist.

[new entry]

Team 2168 one-ups the classic "wrap a freshman in tinfoil" trick. They should have chosen a taller freshman (hence the attempted arm extension).

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #387

<Announcer commercial voice> New to the Clone Army of the Republic: The F-RC 2168 builder droid. Capable of picking up objects and placing them up to 9 feet high. Comes in both tele-op and autonomous modes. Only 1337 credits. (Nubian credits not accepted on Tatooine, Jedi mind tricks not accepted).

Droids in the early Imperial Army days sure looked different.....
