#Detailseries: The green roof at the #workinprogress #PlantationRetreat extends over a brick vaulted ceiling. The retaining walls with the waterproofing layer around it holds the adjacent soil and protects the interior from seepage problems. This retaining wall anchors into the existing rock layers. A bench cut out of the existing rock extends into this space showing instances of how nature reveals itself even on the inside of this home. Stone cladding continues the raw textures of the existing rocks onto the vertical surfaces. A drainage channel has been carefully carved along the edges of the flooring (still to be laid) to get rid of any excess water trickle that might enter the space. . . . . #constructiondetails #details #retainingwall #greenroof #stonewall #rock #vaultedceiling #brickvaults #concretefloors #buildingdetail #architecturedrawing #section #detaildrawing #arquitectura #housewithaview #livinginnature #luxuryhomes #baukunst #mumbairealestate #alibag (at Alibag) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBKyZ69pdgR/?igshid=1o5vkhjx7e5vk

Learning to love ALL of Star Wars

I’ve grown a lot the past few years, and with that I’ve came to appreciate a lot more things about what I love. I’ve went from bitter and spiteful about what I don't have to appreciating what I do have, and at the centre of that storm is Star Wars. A franchise I’ve only really been invested in the last year. 

The beginning

So I was always a “fan” of Star Wars, sure. I grew up with the prequels and I was excited when Disney was releasing their new movies. But the past year is where I really got invested and found a whole new love for the franchise. And strangely enough, it was through the simplicity of Lego.  You see, I started watching videos by Brickvault about Lego Star Wars minifigures, and something about seeing the toys I loved as a kid from a modern perspective took me right back to wooshing my Jedi starfighter around my room. From there, I started moving away from Lego and dipped my toe in theories, lore videos and eventually discussion and review videos, the turning point being Cosmonaught Variety Hour.  Now, I have some opinions on the guy now, but Cosmonaught was perfect for me at the time. He was opinionated, entertaining, but most importantly knew his shit, and I liked that. His videos on Star Wars are pretty good, and really helped form my opinions back then... In a bad way... Now I’ll make this clear, this is NOT on Cosmonaught, it was just how impressionable I was as a person back then. I’m just saying how his video affected me on a personal level.  Up to this point I didn’t really understand the hate for the prequels besides the fact they were “bad movies” and “people don’t like them”. Cosmonaughts video on the prequels gave me those reasons, and I finally felt like I got the distaste for those films. However, like they say... A little knowledge can be dangerous, and boy was I about to learn that lesson the hard way... 

The fall

So here I am, knower of all things, the CORRECT things... I’ve watched my fair share of videos from a handful of sources, I know my shit. I’m making my opinions known, and I’ve become that friend.  But whats this! A dissenting opinion!? My boyfriend actually likes the prequels more than the Original Trilogy!? SACRALAGE!! I must prove him wrong! And prove him wrong I...! Did not... In fact, something rather bizarre happened... He convinced me.  I was stubborn at first, but I’ll admit, my wall got broken down at long last. He (bless his soul for dealing with me) managed to get through to me exactly what it was he loved about those films, and it wasn’t just the nostalgia. I had always seen the politics of the Galaxy like most other people did, some boring preachy nonsense that had no place in Star Wars, but I came around to it.  Granted with a little help from the Clone Wars I managed to piece together just what it was there was to like about these films... I wont say they’re perfect, far from it. But internally they have so much more going on compared to the Original Trilogy. The Era has some of the most fun and expandable concepts and ideas in all of Star Wars, and while it may not be as iconic, the visual artstyle of it all is still its own recognizable brand of Star Wars.  And almost like magic (or my phone spying on me) youtube started recommending videos that disagreed with Cosmonaught, and I got my first taste of how his video wasn’t as sound as I thought. Now as a side note: I still like Cosmonaught. He’s a funny guy who like I said knows his shit, but he obviously isnt the be all end all right and wrong which I hadn’t quite learned. I can enjoy his content while disagreeing with it, and I think thats just fine. I find myself disagreeing with a lot of creators I watch now and he’s just joined them.  But hang on, we’re missing something here... A certain... Mouse? Perhaps?

The dark times... The Disney Empire... 

So hop back to modern day for a sec, this timeline pretty much lines up with the end of the Disney movies right? So how do I feel about those? Well... When the first three came out, I liked them. Like everyone else I was loving new Star Wars. As a young art student, I loved Rogue One and TLJ for their stunning visuals, deeper themes and their attempt at something new and fresh. I loved the throne room fight scene, the light speed ram and how Rogue One had such a bitter sweet ending.  But ho ho no one else felt that way! And whether it be peer pressure or my love of dumpster fires my opinions changed like that. I laughed at the Rose Tico and Snoke memes, I hated the Canto Bight subplot and poor Luke being butchered on screen like that, and then there's Rey...  Solo came and passed. I refused to go see it, as I did with TROS which came out around the time I was getting back into Lego, and along with the prequels I was watching video essay upon video essay about why the sequels sucked and how to rewrite them. Some of them coming from a positive place, others... Not so much..  And so my hatred for them grew as I got back into the franchise and came to appreciate the originals for what they done great, and loathing the new films for lacking that same spark. And unlike the prequels, I didn’t really get enough pushback to change my mind. But what I did get was the full brunt of spite and hate the fans had for these new films, and honestly? It was depressing. 

Hate leads to suffering. 

I finally reached my rock bottom. I genuinely reached a point where I debated giving up Star Wars for the sheer amount of negative feelings I had towards the state of the franchise (which might I add is valid if you ever end up feeling that way about something you’re meant to be enjoying). 

I struggled to get past how Disney “ruined” Star Wars, and clearly nothing was going to change. 40 Years of history had been wiped out and the new timeline was a contorted mess, and the amount of discourse and disagreements in the franchise honestly did not help at all. 

Nothing was simple, everything had a catch. You like how Kylo was irredeemable in TLJ? Well he’s redeemed in TROS. TFA is a fun film but it sets up a lot of the things people hated about the sequels so you cant even just head canon that the other two never happened. And then...

Saved by Lego

There was Lego, making the best of a bad situation. It didnt care if you didn’t like that Palpatine was back (somehow), it didn’t care about the clunky prequel dialog, and it didn’t care about the thousands of retcons from the entierety of the franchises existence. 

Whether by contractual force or not: It was pure, distilled Star Wars. 

I loved how a set with Rey could stand beside a set with OT Luke and thats just how it was. It put into context that this was reality, and I could either be bitter about what could have been or accept what was, which wasn’t easy and I’m still not really over it. But I reached a place where I could accept the fun in all of Star Wars, that I liked how some of these characters looked, that these characters all existed in one Galaxy, and it was nice. 

And it led me straight back into... 

Learning to love Star Wars

One of the most important lessons I learned in the past year was trust your gut. Sure, hear out other peoples take on something, and if it changes your opinion all the more power to you. But don’t fight the fact you felt something in that initial reaction. I liked the prequels as a kid, so why don’t I as an adult? Is it because i outgrew them and see them for the disasters they are? Or is it because a someone who watched them as a fully grown adult that grew up with the OT was underwhelmed? 

And to that extent... I rewatched TFA and TLJ with an open mind and an open heart. The result? 

Im indifferent towards TFA. It has fun character moments and has a decent adventure, for what it is its good. But I actually found myself enjoying TLJ after all these years of hating on it. I liked their take on Luke, I liked the mutiny subplot, it didnt push the story forward leaps and bounds but it was a more methodical take on the franchise and for the I liked it. It wasn’t perfect, its biggest flaw is how bleak it can feel and its lack of doing anything interesting with its setting, but it does do a fair amount of decent things and I’ve come to appreciate it for that. 

I’m planning to watch TROS at long last soon, so maybe I’ll update it here. But what I will say is that I hope Lucasfilm don’t give up on the sequel era and characters quite yet. There is still a lot to love here as much as you may not like it, and I hope that they can explore more interesting meaningful themes and narratives in external media that they couldn’t in mainline films cough cough Stormpilot cough cough...

I know not everyone will agree with how I feel now, heck a lot of my problems I had still stand, but I’m at peace with it all now. I just want to sit back and enjoy this franchise for what it is. While I might not forgive Disney for its severe mishandling of... everything (a rant for another time) I’m content just not them supporting to the best of ability.

Star Wars is in such a unique position where each generation has a different stance and appreciation for different parts within the franchise. The prequels were hated until its fans grew up and started defending it, The Clone Wars was hated until its fans grew up and started defending it, and the sequels ended last year, their fans haven’t quite got their voice yet. But I’m interested to hear what they have to say.

MOC-15632 The Animated Series Batmobile – Minifig Scale (1992-1995)

The Animated Series Batmobile is one among our private favourite Batmobiles. Not solely was this TV sequence one of the vital extremely rated in Batman historical past but it surely’s wonderful Gothic artwork type blended completely with the Batmobile. The lengthy straight strains of the physique convey energy and class all on the similar time. This car matches one minifigure, options a simple to take away cover and entrance storage compartment.

DN characters as YouTubers

Light

(Canonically he is a private person who hides behind anonymity (see: the Kira persona), so he probably shouldn't even be interested in a YouTube career.)

But let's pretend he does in this AU. I am almost certain that he would be involved in the side of YouTube that does political discourse. I'm hard-pressed to believe he would be left-leaning tho considering his conservative, authoritarian views on capital punishment and whatever else constitutes as "justice".

Tl;Dr he would be the type of moderate to right-wing commentator using voiceover narration over graphics to present his arguments on hot topic social issues of the week.

Examples: Armoured Skeptic, Carl Sargon of Akkad

L

I have the headcanon that he would still be some kind of detective in this universe. It's just integral to his interests and career path.

But he'd also make an excellent storytime vlogger, considering his tendency to make shit up on the spot without blinking an eye. He may possibly do dessert hauls and reviews on the side.

(he'd just keep his real life job details separate from his online presence. In fact his online persona will be a deliberate misdirection to hide his true intellect.)

Examples: PJ Liguori kickthepj, Alex Day; SungWon Cho ProZD's snack reviews, Reviewbrah TheReportOfTheWeek

Misa

In canon she is a self-made model, teen idol, and later actress. And honestly with the popularity of internet models and celebrities in this day and age it's not too unrealistic to reimagine her as an internet socialite.

Consider also the fact that she made the Kira tapes herself. She must possess the skills to do self-taught video editing work.

She would be a lifestyle and beauty blogger, maybe even an Instagram model, with cutesy hipstery editing styles.

Examples: Zoella, Gigi Gorgeous; Ash Hardell's visual style

Matsuda, Sayu, Kyoko

Minor characters, I know, but they seem to be the type that are unabashedly excited to be a fan of something. (Matsuda certainly never curbed his enthusiasm for Misa-Misa's successes, and Sayu is open about her support for Hideki Ryuga.)

Ergo, they're the type of vlogger that openly embrace their branding as fangirls and fanboys of certain TV shows, idols and boy bands, etc. And they engage in fandom activity and discussions.

Examples: early Tyler Oakley, early Dan Howell

Near

Toy unboxing and review videos. Possibly time lapse videos of him constructing his own models, and vlogs about his customised / DIY figurines etc.

Examples: BrickVault, Adam Savage's workshop vlogs

Matt

Let'sPlayer with high production values. Memes and sarcasm.

Examples: Cr1TiKaL penguinz0, Ian iDubbbzTV, JacksFilms

disclaimer: some of the YouTubers I've listed here I'm actually quite vehemently against. The thought of L being anything like younger Alex Day makes me barf. But I'm not blind to the fact that he would make a pretty horrible person to know IRL.

Feel free to add your headcanons!!

Lots of people would think this is a normal clone with a Cody Helmet. Why would I do such thing?! BUT this is actually a promotional fig giving out in participating Lego events. In Hong Kong, it was a lucky draw from Toy R Us. I also checked with someone knowing Lego store official and they confirmed it was giving out as a gift. Yet, this combination of figs never register on Bricklink. Brickvault also mentioned this figs in their video.
