How to make an impressive Death Star with CARDBOARD!

Super Star Destroyer.

[@Scar-Predator]

It's weird that this video is 2 years old yet feels like it was posted like a week ago. It's still an amazing video and prop.

[@Scar-Predator]

Watching the video again and I was wondering, if you haven't already done it yet, could you make the Executor, Vader's (second, after the Devastator from A New Hope) flagship from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi? Also a fun fact about the Executor: Did you know that the Executor originally wasn't for Vader? It was originally going to be for Grand General Cassio Tagge, as a replacement after the destruction of the Annihilator, but near its completion, a rogue Imperial named Cylo, attempted to take over the dreadnought, and attempted to assassinate the Emperor. Cylo was killed by Vader, and as a reward, Palpatine gave Vader the Executor and her fleet, Death Squadron. Vader, having more authority than Tagge, killed the Grand General.

What can I say Raphael, That is the best Death Star I ever seen. Yet out of cardboard. Doesn’t cost much. With patience, the project is rewarding. Keep up the excellent posts. Right now I’m ready to do the Millennium Falcon. Amazingly, your cardboard creations are huge. I love that. Perfect time during the Covid-19 quarantine.

[@EpicCardboardProps]

That's a really nice compliment Anthony! Thank you!! 🙏 Indeed as we're pretty much all stuck at home it's a great time to make these, even for me actually lol I have more time than ever to make new things which is, I would say for me, the bright side of this situation!

THIS IS SO COOL!!! My second son is a product designer in the entertainment world and he gets to play with stuff like this and make fun things regularly. Had I known of his major when it was my turn at college, I would have done this, too. But with help like this from you, I have a tiny opportunity to craft something so fun with my hands and my 15 y.o. homeschooled son as a way cool art project. I was just thinking we would paint an old globe and call it a day, but then I found you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Blessings! :)
