This project started when we bought the Gwarm action figure from customizer Peakob1. After Hasbro released Hondo Ohnaka without any of his Weequay pirates, we wanted to create Hondo's pirate gang. When we saw that Peakob1 started to create some of the characters we were hoping to make, Dad commissioned his help in getting the project done. Then Dad started to create two pirates of his own. All that is left to do now is to get a group photo of the pirate gang.
Keep an eye on this post. We'll be updating it with a group photo soon now that we are all finished with the figures.
Hondo Ohnaka's Pirate Gang
Turk Falso
created by Peakob1
Falso tried to double cross his
captain,
Hondo Ohnaka, the leader of
a pirate gang on the backwater
world of
Florrum to steal the spice
ransom for himself. He ordered a fellow pirate,
Barb Mentir to shoot down
the ship carrying the spice in order to get it. His plan worked, partially, but the
clone troopers and
Jar Jar Binks survived the crash, killing only the
pilots
and Kharrus. After he heard that there were possible survivors from
Mentir, he went to get the spice himself along with some other
pirates utilizing
swoop bikes. Falso stole the spice from the wreckage of the ship located in the
Doshar fields, but the surviving clones and Jar Jar got it back after chasing Falso and his gang by riding on
skalders, creatures native to
Florrum.
After returning to the pirate base, Falso said to Ohnaka that the
Republic hadn't send the spice, but an army. He asked if he could send
tanks
to destroy the army. Ohnaka gave him permission, but Falso's plan
failed. One of the tanks was accidentally destroyed by Jar Jar who
rammed it into one of the power lines to the
pirate outpost. The remaining two tanks were attacked by
Commander Stone and the
clone troopers
and both tanks were captured. They used them to quickly go to Ohnaka's
pirate base and get in unnoticed. Falso was about to flee in a
Flarestar-class Weequay ship knowing that Ohnaka would figure out his betrayal, when he and
his accomplice were killed by
Count Dooku
who escaped from the pirate prison during the power loss in the base.
Dooku then escaped Florrum in the Weequay saucer craft which the two
pirates were planning to escape in.

Barb Mentir
created by Peakob1
Gwarm and Pikk Mukmuk
created by Peakob1
Gwarm was a pink- and orange-faced
Weequay who operated as a
pirate in
Hondo Ohnaka's pirate gang during the
Clone Wars. He carried
an old type of
blaster rifle with a
vibrodagger mounted on the front of the weapon. Around
21 BBY, Gwarm was part of Ohnaka's band of pirates that traveled to
Felucia to extort a portion of the valuable crop of
nysillin from a
community of
Felucian farmers.
Gwarm and his cohorts came against more than they bargained for when
they found themselves going up against not just the simple farmers, but
also four
bounty hunters, hired by the farmers to protect them, and three
Jedi who had crash landed on the planet and found their way to the farm. Towards the end of the
skirmish, Gwarm noticed their leader, Hondo Ohnaka, hanging off a cliff at the mercy of
Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. He called for an immediate retreat to go and rescue Ohnaka, forcing the pirates to leave empty handed.
Dagu Flask
created by Peakob1
During
one such escape, the prisoners attempted to escape by pole-vaulting
over the wall of the pirate outpost. They succeeded only partially; with
Skywalker clinging onto the edge of the wall, while Kenobi and Dooku
held on to his legs. Meanwhile Flask and several other
pirates
opened fire upon the escapees. Anakin couldn't hold on any longer and
told Kenobi to drop Dooku. Suddenly, Flask ordered to cease fire. Ohnaka
was then standing on the wall, and told his men to arrest the
prisoners.
Peakob1's three pirates were featured on the front page of Imperial Shipyards.
Bogalo Sneetch
created by Peakob1
A fan fiction custom monkey lizard that Peakob1 created.
Finn Tegotash
created by Darth Daddy
Finn Tegotash was a member of
Hondo Ohnaka's
pirate gang in the
Clone Wars around
21 BBY,
[1] and was present during the time that the gang held
Obi-Wan Kenobi,
Anakin Skywalker, and
Count Dooku prisoner. Finn preferred to wield two small knives in combat rather than a blaster, the standard weapon of the Ohnaka Gang. He wore very simple clothing, consisting of a drab beige top and plain blue pants; as well as standard boots.
Created almost entirely from a Shahan Alama action figure, Dad sculpted and modified the head, and then painted the forearms he substituted from a Hondo Ohnaka to create this action figure.
Peg Leg Piit
(Work In Progress)
created by Darth Daddy
Peg Leg Piit was created using the head, torso, and upper arms of a Clone Wars Shahan Alama action figure, the articulated hips and upper thighs of a Clone Wars Mace Windu, the lower leg and peg leg were created from fodder we had laying around and Dad used the knee joints of the Shahan Alama. The holster was a modified Vintage Bom Vimdin holster. Dad then added Apoxie Sculpt to the figure and modified the existing pieces to make the almost completely sculpted Peg Leg Piit.
R5-P8
created by Darth Daddy
Dad created this custom droid that appeared in Season 1 of the Clone
Wars "The Gungan General" episode just by repainting the new Vintage
R5-D4 action figure that can be found now on pegs everywhere. As soon
as the figure came out, Dad knew he wanted to try and make this droid
even though there are rumors circulating that he may find his way to a
proper release by Hasbro down the road. Dad used the gun from the Toys
R' Us Nikto Guard and modified it by cutting pieces off some guns in our
fodder bin. Nothing too crazy was done to make this one. What you
see is what you get.
Before and after.
Dad's R5-P8 was featured in Yakface's Mega Spotlight.
