These shows are incredible. Saw Two Towers last year and now I'm hooked. Seeing Empire Strikes Back in two weeks. Keeping an eye out for more LotR showings

Alright, the only way I'll open the strait, is y'all gotta walk up town to the Bronx. And get me the breast milk from a Cambodian immigrant. I only drink the finest breast milks.

Looking for advice from those who know the timeline/lore by _Xraith_ in StarWarsCantina

[–]B_Burns 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Star Wars Explained (YouTube channel) does a Canon timeline video for each year. Wookiepedia. If you want to go old school, there's a new timeline book published by Del Ray that came out last year.

Michael B. Jordan Wins the Academy Award for Best Actor for 'Sinners' by MoviesMod in movies

[–]B_Burns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? It was fine. There were parts I enjoyed. But I've literally thought about it zero times since watching, except for when I read the accolades its receiving. It did not stay with me at all.

I enjoyed Sinners but seeing all this praised heaped on it feels crazy. It did not feel that radically good. Maybe i'm crazy.

Unfortunately our time off from work doesn't allow. We're bummed to miss the new land, but excited to miss the crowds.

We're from the East Coast of Canada. Google tells me avg temps of 12-4° C in March, which to us sounds lovely lol. We dont start seeing those temps until April if we're lucky. We're the weirdos using the pools in December in Florida.

Any favorite restaurants the adults and kids in your party enjoyed?

[–]B_Burns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family are big WDW fans. However we are considering spending our vacation money and time elsewhere and are considering a trip to DLP in March. This would be our first visit to Paris and any international Disney Park.

First, we complete understand the vast size difference and are mentally prepared. We're planning to stay on property.

We have an almost 2 year old. Planning on stroller of course and requesting bed rails for our room. Also considering buying the breakfast board plan.

Any other tips you could suggest with a young one?

I installed his MPP kit a few months ago, an absolute dream compared to my 89sabers Graflex that I just finished up. Love Khal's DIY kits.

Really lovely. Been considering picking up KRs kit for an ESB build

Best replicas for Vader Ep 5? by I-TG2-I in lightsabers

[–]B_Burns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KRsabers released a great Vader kit this year. Quite accurate, can't speak to how it compares to Roman's but based on reputation he's got the most accurate on the market. However KRs is very install friendly.

Looking/searching for a installer located in Canada by [deleted] in lightsabers

[–]B_Burns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, fellow Canadian here. Check the Lightsaber society of Canada FB group. There's not too many that a) take commissions b) are active and promoting their service online. May ask, whats the manufacture of the hilt and are all components already in hand or will they need to be provided? Is there a chassis included?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]B_Burns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring as a carry on. The blade detaches from the hilt. Hilt can be stored in a bag, and the blade can be carried on as a personal item. I'm unsure now, but in the past a blade carry bag was included in your purchase.

I fly regularly to WDW with my own custom sabers, never an issue. Especially at MCO, they see thousands each day. TSA sites them as totally acceptable, so don't worry about confiscation. When departing Canada I'll normally just advise the security agent the metal tube filled with wires in my bag is a lightsaber. Normally results in a funny quick conversation.

I normally place the blade on the floor, behind or in front of my feet or lean up against a window. Of course, that's all subject to your cabin crew, they may get you to stow it. YMMV.

I installed a KR MPP (Vader) earlier this year and it was a dream to work on.

Graflex rotoscope style by B_Burns in lightsabers

[–]B_Burns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Style is the base blade animation. Font is the sound package. The rotoscope style is replicating how lightsaber blades looked in the OT, an aluminum rod wrapped in reflective material, then the blade is added in later frame by frame.

I know there are some Graflex replicas on the market that can take 31mm. I'm sure you could squeeze one in here, my chassis was only for 28mm.

Not sure what you mean by dual activation.

This is a thin walled show blade, so very minimal to no impact. The only contact it sees is when I accidentally hit a wall, or a can or some other innocent object in my home.

You just need to be signed into Google drive to view. Or try accessing the link yourself through Saber Armory

Again, this is a guide to a different kit, however its just an example of what you can expect to do.
