Epic STAR WARS Wall Build That Will Blow Your Mind

From Spain, I am big fan of your art, soon I will be making mine; I appreciate everything you share with us; Thank you so much

@@VlanKaaWomZie thank you!

[@s1lvert1tan]

After years of watching and dreaming, I'm finally drawing up plans to theme my basement bar as a Star Wars Cantina. I'll be rewatching many of your videos in the process! This was another stellar build!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

That is so fantastic to hear! Thank you! We are working on several workshops around panel design, room design, etc. So the timing of your project could be perfect!

[@madwilliamflint]

That's a fun build. I love the strange dichotomy of "making a bunch of cool looking stuff that looks like it does stuff" and "hiding all the cool looking stuff that actually does stuff."

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

LOL! Right?? Me too!!

[@madwilliamflint]

@@TheSmugglersRoom My initial knee-jerk reaction was "Why go through all that trouble? Just expose the wiring." But it took me a few seconds to realize it really wouldn't have fit the aesthetic at all. Gorgeous build. Your stuff always looks like magic to me. I can watch every second and still miss the transformation moment.

[@RoboJRR]

Holy COW! I'm blown away by how awesome this build is and all the details and seeing how you brought it all come together is incredible!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad you liked it!! Thank you for the kind words!

[@muonwap]

DUDE!!! Loved this video, Really appreciate going into the shots and showing how you attach certain parts. The French cleat, the wiring on the back and how its organized, paper towels and all the details you added. It honestly helps us noobs out on how too attach things and make our own. Thanks for the video!! cant wait for the next one!!!!!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!!

[@muonwap]

I think the longer shots of you putting parts together were very helpful.

[@silviofoj]

I love the care you take with the greeblies, the way you position them and how everything comes perfectly together when you finish the project. Another great video for sure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Greetings from Brazil!

Having watched your old? room build videos its great to see you get back into the groove and start building out again. Take a moment to look back and see how far you have come and how much you have improved. Great job.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you! It does help to see the progression. It's hard to see the forest for the trees on big projects like this for sure.

Brian, i don't know the FIRST thing about building anything, but I’ve enjoyed watching your videos for the past few years. I'm a big Star Wars fan though, and love behind-the-scenes stuff. It's also relaxing just listening to your music playing while you're building and making things. As to the room...is it done yet? How bout now? Are we there yet? 🤣 😅😁.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thank you so much! As for the room . . . Probably never done 😂

Outstanding! Sounds like a great room project!

[@michaellarusch4317]

Great build! It looks awesome! Looking forward to what's coming! I think it would be cool if you had Chucky be able to rotate so that it's empty...like he got out. You could make the lights change to orange and have warnings on the screen too...

Hay loved the episode, this project is actually already one of my favorite ones I seen you do. Wow! It was worth the wait, the extra time you sent on it shows...My biggest problem is when I'm working on my projects what I thank may take a couple of weeks to complete ends up thanking more than a few months 😳( I do make all of my projects from scratch) then I end up setting the project aside for months or years because I gotten burned out . Then I finally jump back into it, only then I realize how close I was in finishing it in the first place😢 it drives my wife crazy

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

You are totally not alone. There are so many projects that I have started through the years that get stalled for this reason. The reality is, sometimes these projects get too big, or go on too long, and then burnout sets in. So taking a break is actually a great thing. I think half of the time the reason coming back to a project and having it finish so quickly is because you gave your mind time to rest and removed from the project. That time away totally helps finish when you come back to it.

The video was well worth the wait! I love the final results. Chucky makes such a cool addition to the room. That LCD and all the LED really sets it apart. You two really keep leveling up your worth with each video. I'm really getting the itch to start something like this once I have the right space. Great tip to write down paint colors on each project, that definitely could save some headache between long gaps in a project (which I usually have too). Any plans to fill the small gap and visible wall between Chucky and the Nostramo door w/ another small panel project or more pads?

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Question? On the paneling that you glued the paper towel too. How strong is it? Would I have to strategically place it to keep from bumping it? To keep from any damage.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Great question. It is pretty durable. When the modpodge cures it is pretty hard. It almost creates a "shell" that holds up really well. You can also add multiple layers of the glue to build up strength. I did that on several projects that needed extra protection. You just add a layer, let it fully cure, then add another, and so on. Works great!

Great video. I'd love to one day make an ultra-realistic star wars room myself. By the way, what do you think of animatronic, is it that difficult to make? With technology and AI becoming more and more emergent in our society, it wouldn't shock me if before long Disney created real star wars robots with artificial intelligence, which is logically (I think?) superior to animatronic.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

I love the idea of animatronic. We've talked a lot about some ideas we could add to the room.

Definitely a cool addition. I'm interested in where you got the machine indicator light switches (shown at 3:48) because I would like to try and get some of them myself. As a side note, did you decide to actually call those components for "Chucky" the Electromagnetic Field Stabilizers? Or did you go with something else?

Those Allen switches came in a box of junk I ordered from Ebay believe it or not. They were all non functional and damaged in some way.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Thanks! That is a fairly complicated question, LOL. Lots of ways to answer it. 1. You don't need old electronics for Greeblies. You can use just about anything with a bit of creativity; Juice lids, old pill bottles, plastic packaging, you name it. You just need to keep your eye out for interesting shapes. 2. Electronics can be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be. The best place to start is with the knowledge around Arduino and programming it. I have found that once I had the basic concepts of Arduino I also learned what components would work best for what project. Bob from I Like To Make Stuff has an AMAZING online class that you can purchase where he teaches is. here is a link (i'm not affiliated, i just think its a great course) iliketomakestuff.podia.com/ 3. My suggestion would be to become a member of the Astromech Builders Club. www.astromech.net. There you will find all sorts of information around the electronics they use in their droids. Once you understand what electronics do what, then you can start to build the specific functions you need.
