I love when I get feedback from you guys! Recently, I have received requests for more ship and vehicle patterns. So that gave me a great excuse to get all the beads out again. #1 and I created a bunch of new patterns, so from now on I promise I will add more vehicles into the mix.
Spoilers ahead! Except for Snoke, Maz Kanata is the most mysterious of the new The Force Awakens characters. Portrayed by Lupita Nyong’o in a wonderful motion capture performance, Maz is the “wise old sage” character all good mythical stories need (and Star Wars is missing now that Yoda is no longer in the picture).
(Mild spoilers) When the previews of The Force Awakens came out I thought that our original X-Wing pattern was going to be close enough to use for The Force Awakens as well. Oops, my bad! The design is close-ish. Without getting too technical, the wings are slightly different, the engines now split in 2, and the proportions are a bit different. (You can see detailed photos of the differences here.)
(Some mild spoilers) I hate movie previews, mostly because I hate hate hate spoilers. I was scared that the previews of The Force Awakens was going to reveal too much information, just like most other previews, for most other movies. However, I really have to hand it to JJ Abrams – not only did he not reveal much before hand, some of the stuff we though we knew from seeing the previews, turned out to be wrong. Yet, I don’t feel the least bit tricked.
(Slight spoilers, but nothing major.) A few days after The Force Awakens premiered, a new term started to be used when discussing it. We had heard adjectives such as, action-packed, fun, scary, glorious, and sad. Then suddenly this noun get thrown into the mix: Bromance. It is a new one in for the Star Wars universe. The closest we have seen to a bromance is Obi wan and Anakin, though that is also a mentor-mentee relationship, so it doesn’t quite qualify.
(No Spoilers) To spoil or not to spoil. That is the question. As with all other The Force Awakens posts we have made, we had to decide whether we want this post to be safe from spoilers. One the one hand, we obviously don’t want to ruin anything… on the other hand we really really REALLY want to talk to you guys about the movie! However, I think we are going to keep it spoiler free for a bit longer. So, if you have yet to see the movie, it is still safe to click and read on.
May the Fourth be with You Party
