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.)

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.

I know Halloween is done and over with. But I am thinking, if I keep the “scary” up for a few more days, I can justify continuing eating the kids’ Halloween candy… So today I am sharing the pattern for the Star Wars character that gives me the most creeps… Bib Fortuna.

Seeing the new trailer, I am itching to make patterns of The Force Awakens characters. I am hoping to have the 5 new core characters designed and posted before the movie opens up – so stay tuned! In the meantime, here is one of the ships that is used in The Force Awakens, as well as the original movies.
There is no one as smooth as Lando. He is by far the best ladies man in Star Wars. Obi-Wan is a too much like our dad. Qui-Gon, nice, but, honestly, a bit boring. Mace is cool, but dangerous. Han is pretty rough around the edges. And Luke is, well, our brother. Lando, however, is the guy who one would want to take home and introduce to mom, AND at the same time the one that will make all your female friends swoon with jealousy.
