Absolutely amazing build James! I’m gobsmacked with how cool this looks. It also looks really comfortable. Your sharing your memories with your dad and experiences with Star Wars really made this an extra special piece. I know your dad would be so proud of you. Too bad he won’t be able to sit down with and your children to watch Mando together. But, I’m sure in some ways, he’s doing just that. We never truly lose the ones we love. Seeing the Tydirium Shuttle at the end brought up some special memories of my own. I can remember building that, along with an A wing and B wing when I was young. Having this community these days really brings out so many great experiences. Thank you for all you do.

I realize this was posted two years ago but just seeing this today was very inspirational and even moving for me. Your tribute to your dad here is easily the best part. I remember waiting in line to see the original film with my dad in 1977 and all the curious anticipation of something none of us knew anything about. Who would have expected a movie to be so entirely life changing, especially at just age seven? You’re a great dad, obviously, and this, too, is also obvious. The nostalgic shots of old Kenner and Hasbro advertisements and how you described your hours of fascination and childhood dreams of these toys was very relatable. Bravo on this epic masterpiece!It’s absolutely beautiful and so authentic in detail. I like your approach to realism mixed with creativity in terms of taking liberties with certain things not necessarily seen on screen (i.e. “canon”). Besides, the Millennium Falcon was always falling apart and being rebuilt, so who’s to say your version of the bench isn’t part of this evolution? Very well done.

My dad was the projectionist at our small town cinema, he came home one night and told me I have to go and see this movie Star Wars the next night, I was only 9 and had been scared by a war film before and didn't want to go, so he said I could watch it from up in the projection booth with him. After the opening shot when the Star Destroyer went over, I ran from the projection booth down to the cinema front row seats. He screened it for me and a few friends in an impromptu midday matinee for just the six of us. The movie means so much to me and is such a link to my Dad who I lost when I was 17.
