For a year now, there has been an ongoing argument at our house. Not about finances, or who should clean up after dinner, but about stormtrooper helmets.
I like the original ones. They are iconic, classic and everyone knows what they look like. The hubby likes the new ones. His first comment after he saw the teaser a year ago, was “I have to get a new helmet!” I, of course disagreed.
Can you believe it has been a year ago since we saw the first The Force Awakens Teaser? I had no idea it had been that long… but the upload date for the teaser on YouTube is Nov. 28, 2014. So it really has been a year since all us fans held our collective breaths for 84 seconds.
And we all gasped with excitement when John Boyega (in stormtrooper armor) popped into screen. (Technically, it is of course not possible to gasp if you are holding your breath, but you know what I mean!)
Almost Thanksgiving! This week is going to be a busy one, and I was considering skipping the posts this week. But, if you are anything like me, you’ll want something to do on Friday – something that does NOT involve cooking or shopping. So I figured I’d at least share another The Force Awakens Pixel Pattern – in case you need an after-Thanksgiving-project.
The M4P team will probably take the rest of the week off, so we’ll see you guys next week. Until then…
…And if you do decide to do shopping over the weekend, please consider using our link for Amazon. You, using our Amazon Link, is how we can afford to keep this blog going. THANKS guys!
I have mentioned this before, but it deserves repeating: Star Wars is a “chick flick.”
It has love, romance, a smart and beautiful heroine, a scruffy nerfherder with a heart of gold, confused family dynamics, romantic tension, and did I mention LOVE? …. It just also happens to have a bunch space stuff. (They just disguised it as a guy flick – so we can get our dates and hubbies to watch something WE want to watch for once.)

One of the marvelous things about the Star Wars franchise is how it engages people’s imagination. Just like countless other kids in the late 70’s, the hubby spent a good chunk of his time drawing TIE-fighters and pretending to be shooting at stormtroopers. Now a generation later, our kids are drawing X-wings and having Lightsabers fights.
The first batch of the M4P The Force Awakens Perler Pixel Patterns are done! #1 and I have completed 9 designs, so that will keep us posting The Force Awakens patterns on our “Pixel Mondays” until the end of the year. And I would think that once we see the movie, we will want to create a few more. I am especially interested in Lupita Nyong’o’s and Andy Serkis’ motion capture characters.
#1 had been looking forward to making BB-8 for months, so it was the first one we completed. It seems to be a good one to start with, here as well.
