Building BD-3
Poking around reddit for costume ideas for Awesomecon 2025 I came across a design for building BD-1 from Jedi: Fallen Order. I hadn’t printed anything this large before but I loved the idea of animating it with lights and sounds. After printing a couple of the inital parts I started looking at how others had remixed it to make it unique.

Every Jedi Needs a Lightsaber
For years I’ve had a Darth Vader lightsaber and an Obi Wan Kenobi lightsaber hanging on my wall next to some classic Star Wars posters. Iconic as they are I always felt like I was missing the best green saber, the Luke Skywalker green lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. When I bought the ones for my wall I searched and never could find a good price for one. Recently my kids have started playing with them and I got that itch again to search for the missing green saber. What I found is that the custom lightsaber community has come a long way since I built my own out of sink parts in college. I tested the waters with a VHC lightsaber I found on amazon and the fire was lit. I definitely need my own lightsaber.
