Did Last Jedi inspire
Nope.
My 3 TFA Graflex projects from 2015 are still in progress, so the new movie isn't to blame.
Did Last Jedi inspire
Ya it's what I'm using [emoji5]
I think most people assume it will tie into the Solo film.I am now considering Han Solo's dice but I don't really know why they are a "thing" in the movie.
Went to see it again yesterday (prebooked tickets so couldn't cancel them) with the brief flash of movement before the ring opens I'm more inclined to believe its whats known as a Zero Aperture Diaphragm. Looking at the tell-tale markings on this version i think it's a better shout...maybe even an exact match?

My new one is at my house. I'm in SF and will be back tomorrow to grab it and get a closer look. My understanding is that it's two layers. It's so expensive to do destructive research but I'll take a whack at it. Lemme know what you learn!Just received the correct zero aperture. It appears there are in fact two irises: one on the front, and one on the back that needs to be removed to create the ring. I'm hesitant to crack this thing open. Anyone know if simply dremeling off the back iris blades will affect the functionality of the front iris?
I'm interested in the homemade Luke Skywalker action figure from the end of the movie. Someone asked me if I'd be interested in making a Canto Bight police uniform; I decided I'd rather do a Canto Bight stable-boy costume. I think Finn’s bacta suit would be hilarious. But I’m most interested in Luke’s Crait outfit; that’s the one I’m most likely to actually do.
Things I want from TLJ
#1 Luke’s compass (I’m going to learn how to do 3d modeling just for this damn thing!)<br>
#2 the Jedi crusade pendant (working on this this weekend)
#3 Ben solos lightsaber
