Hey everyone,
So, I'm potentially taking on a big Star Wars project in the near future, and in the course of looking for ideas I found the RPF, and have been devouring old posts ever since...
I do a lot of food photography, and I'm hoping to make a number of backgrounds and scene settings to firmly place the recipes in the world of Star Wars, whether it's the trenches of Hoth, an ambassador dinner on Coruscant, or an imperial canteen (because that had to exist, in theory, somewhere other than just in the Eddie Izzard sketch, right?). The settings all have pretty individualized aesthetics, from the imperial black/red industrial, to the slight rust-bucketness of the Falcon, to the clean lines of Bespin and the warm curves of Tatooine.
So far, my list of definite build projects includes a gonk droid, a mouse droid, possibly some blasters (although I don't think I could do them as much justice as most on this forum), and a number of backdrops- cantinas, insides of ships, cockpits, cargo holds, etc. Most of those would only need to be 2-3' square, but I'd likely do a couple of larger ones, too, pending time and means. I've been so inspired by some of the builds on here (Smuggler's Room, I'm looking at you...), and now I've started hoarding greebles like it's my job.
But I'd love to get some input on what more generic props everyone would consider fitting for the SW universe. Of course, they'd be location specific, but I'm thinking of beat up trunks, canisters, storage pods, etc. But little things, too, like the medals from the awards ceremony in ANH, or Rey's little fighter pilot doll from TFA.
Sorry if that's a little all over the place- I'm still in the brainstorming phase myself!
