May 4th Be With You: Character Creation Competition – NOW CLOSED
April 29, 2022 by fcostin
Happy Star Wars Celebrations everybody! Already, Free? We're not even out of April yet...
May the Fourth is upon us and we are hosting a world of Star Wars goodness over on the site next week. Including an RPG playthrough, different activities, a themed weekender, special COG content, and in total - celebrating all things Star Wars.
To kick off the celebrations - we are starting off with a competition here on the site, that will require you to flex your creativity over on Hero Forge. One that some of you may find familiar if you were around last Blue Monday and were witness to the likes of Speedo Goblin, or formally known as, Mr. Higgins.
OnTableTop's Star Wars Character Creation Competition
Character Creation Competition Now Closed!
The Star Wars Character Creation Competition has now begun, and entering couldn't be simpler. Using Hero Forge, you will create a character design that will fit into one of the following categories:
- Are you Sure This Is The Droid You Are Looking For? - Have you paid credits for a droid that not even the Jawas would bother stealing? Faulty in certain areas and came with a few unexpected quirks? It takes a good salesman to palm off some dodgy droids. C3PO didn't even come with clothes!
- Cantina Dweller - The Cantina is the place where you will see all walks of life. You can lounge at the bar, indulge in some Death Sticks, or simply absorb the ambience from the best Jizz artists in the business. The Cantina is full of all walks of life. Either working for or against the Empire, there will always be a drink waiting in the grey area that is the Cantina.
- Force Undiscovered - Ever thought you were special and nobody cared? Able to move things with your mind or see things before they happen? Sadly, you've been unluckily born outside The Republic. How would you use your unhoned skills to survive? Anakin Skywalker could have been a slave his whole life or a mighty Pod Racer if the Jedi never turned up! Not to mention how many younglings would have survived...
Once you have designed your character on the Hero Forge platform, click the share button and this will generate a link that you can add below in the comments on this thread. When posting below, alongside the link, be sure to add in a name of your character, a short bit of back-story, and highlight what category you are entering.
Winners will be announced on the Star Wars-themed weekender, Revenge of the Sixth next Friday. So, be sure that you have your entry below in the comments by 23:59 BST on Wednesday, May the 4th, so we have plenty of time to pull together all of your creations.
Plastic Miniature Design Examples // Hero Forge
Get Started On Hero Forge!
There will be one winner per category: meaning three in total. And if you have been selected as one of our lucky winners - we will provide you with a physical model copy of your winning character in plastic. Which will be sent over to you to proudly display amongst your own hoard of treasures.
If you want to get involved in all three categories, you are most welcome to. However, please limit your entries to one per category.
I hope you all have fun! But if you are not too keen on entering, there will be a host of content next week that'll see you fit through the Star Wars Holiday!
Good Luck! And May the Fourth Be With You!

I have just the character in mind, she would fit nicely with Slaine, least the world forgets.
Sounds like a good time to be a star-war’s player.
Do I get to win something just for having my birthday on May the fourth
A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM US!!! 🙂 hehe
Sorry for sounding thick, but do we post the Heroforge link in these replies?
yup just in here
Thank you.
Right-o! So, meet Taiga Rondu. Gunslinger, Treasure Hunter, Soldier of Fortune, Lover. If you ask him then he is all these things. However to the owners and denizens of dive cantina’s across the Outer Rim the one word they will uniformly use is “trouble”, as if he’s not taking up prime table space racking up a bar tab whilst doting on the Loth-Fox that accompanies him everywhere, then he’s liable to be getting into barfights, pursuing obscure vendettas and generally doing anything but the job he’s been hired to do. It’s fortunate that he is a dab hand with his… Read more »
Shanthun a seeker hunter. She hunts down those that prey upon innocent. She will go into the most hostile environments to complete her work. She understands her abilities to a point but she has yet met a jedi to really show her what her full potential could be.

Are you Sure This Is the Droid You Are Looking For?
FX-1T is an old 8D-series smelter droid that was fixed up by the owner of the shop to assist in bringing landspeeders and assorted other vehicles back to life. The pink crop top started as a joke, but it was useful to see at a distance, and it does match the status gem on the forehead in working order, so it stuck and is just part of the daily uniform these days.

Ha! Brilliant!
It’s been a rough week for Jal Yung. It was bad enough that the Tuskens shot up his speederbike, but he thought it couldn’t get much worse than having to walk across the sand to Mos Eisley for two days. Well he thought that until he saw the Stormtroopers swanning about. They made him surrender his blaster and his water before they let him pass. They even took almost every credit he had, but he managed to squirrel away enough for a drink at the cantina. One success, at least. He sighed as he stepped into the dimly lit place;… Read more »

Having initially fled into hiding, Tali continued to explore her nascant powers, even without the guidance of the Jedi Order. Now, far from a Jedi Knight but having developed her powers she roams the Galaxy helping those she can and looking for ways… Read more »

Cantina Dweller – Woodan Mc’kley is a Scarabaeoideon ship captain and infamous smuggler, operating in the outer rim. Scarabaeoideons are rarely seen above ground, preferring a fossorial lifestyle. However Woodan suffers from claustrophobia, a condition unheard of amongst his kind, which has lead him to cast off the underground lifestyle natural to his people, and seek a life of fortune amongst the stars.
Through the use of bifocal spectrometers, Woodan has been able to overcome the limitations of Scarabaeoideon visual impairment, while the natural ability to detect subsonic frequencies over vast distances, make Woodan an uncanny pilot.
Cantina Dweller:
Zasssram Dek, current reigning Sabacc champion on the Tatooine cantina circuit and former “procurer” & transporter of exotic items for a discerning clientele (DEFINITELY not a thief or smuggler).

This Android was made by Jedi long time ago to protect nature on his home planet as he had foretold that once he will pass away, there may be a battle that will forever change planet climate and destroy all life on it.
If I join in on this, is there a button on the Hero Forge Site that I can click to make the mini scaled to ‘Star Wars: Leagon’?

NotA Jawa is totally not a couple of jawas pretending to be a jedi.
Such things would never happen and do not exist.
So look away and go on with your life … ’cause we need to sneak in here and steal some stuff
*eh* you forget that we said that too … you will forget
damn, best hit ’em with the saber before he figures us out.
v2 … initial idea was 2 jawas, but using a big creature as the source didn’t look quite right.
So back to just a jawa sized jedi :

Devin Marnell came from the Marnell family merchants of the Galactic Core. Grew up around the finer things, including droid servants, which he, alone in his family, treated like people. As he grew, he became enraptured with the romantic tales of heroic smugglers, helping those in need. He grew increasingly bored of his opulent home and of his droid friends having their memories wiped as per family protocol. Eventually, he stole a family freighter and fled to the outer rim with the family droids. While an excellent pilot, he was tracked down and shot out of space. The crash destroyed… Read more »
