This is from the Imperial Invasion of Naboo in 18 BBY, when Queen Apailana broke off diplomatic ties with the Galactic Empire, leading the Empire to dispatch the 501st Legion to suppress the growing opposition on the world and retake Naboo. You can read all about it here
Just an FYI, Nep Tronts does not appear in any official Star Wars cannon, although his name is derrived from the Gungan Language and Naming Convention. The rest of the card is completely cannon though.
@Death_Methods If you want me to change this entery to something else, I will gladly, just please, please tell me.
I was originally going to make a LOTR card, (NZPride) but instead I went with star wars because it is my preferred franchise. So, Darth Vader! My original draft was a flip card but I preferred this version.
The contest goes to The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Winner: by @Bellycuss Congratulations! So I'm actually not the biggest fan of the hobbit series. I'm one of those "Lord of the Rings was way better!" people. Fantastic card though! It was almost hedged out for being too powerful but then you had to go and edit it! I honestly like everything about it. I think it would be funny to have the creature type be burglar but it's certainly great how it is.
Close 2nd place: by @Yururu When I first saw this card I thought for sure it would win. I already have a bunch of these kinds of cards made for The Ultimate showdown contest. This is one of the seldom few that I like better than what I already have. The way this card is now, it would be rare rather than mythic. I would also change the name since the text captures the goal perfectly. But that's all just being picky.
4. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/vader-imperial-warlord by @Awticon I really want this to win... but it's too powerful... although Vader should be a little too powerful... but it has too many options... although Vader can do all those things... but this will ruin everyone's hopes and dreams... although Vader is supposed to ruin everyone's hopes and dreams... GAH!! In the end, I decided it was too powerful and a tad off color, although I have a broken heart now.
Thank you to all participants! I hope you had as much fun making cards as I did reading them! ^^
Winners and honorable mentions will be posted to The Ultimate Showdown - Ongoing!!!!! shortly. Once there, they will be eligible for the ongoing contest prizes for that contest as well.
@Death_Methods After looking at the card a second time you're totally right about it being too strong. Anyways, thanks for the HM, I really enjoyed this contest. Looking forward to the next one if there is one. Please include Indiana Jones next time

Ultimately, it was too overpowered to win, but I love this so much!

HAHA!!! When I saw this card I was like "Yes! More!" Made me want to allow more than one submission.
3. http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/the-half-blood-prince-2?list=user by @Beydin13
I am little bit sad that there wasn't more HP submissions, especially ones like this one. (only a little sad though) go SW and LOTR!

Excellent flavor. Excellent art. Excellent balance. @SparkTheDragon left a perfect comment as to why it wasn't the winner.
