This week, I decided to break out my SHFiguarts Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi and create a display with LED lightsabers and a floor modeled after the throne room of the Death Star.
I had a lot of fun using a potentially ruined American football display case as the base of the diorama.

A great example of "less is more". Very classy....classic diorama.

@yugioht42 7 ай бұрын

The suit doesn’t really change all too much. The production team just added or subtracted buttons and that’s about it other than finding some different gloves which was due to the original brand not being around. The helmet was a a mold from the first movie and was fine other than a slight difference in paint job.

Suit is different

@Scar-Predator 7 ай бұрын

@@kelven.l2488 it's practically the same in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The only visible difference is the chest armor is a bit lighter in color and more shiny.

@HatBoy19 6 ай бұрын

His lightsaber is different in a few ways, the emitter shroud is curved rather than straight and the clamp section sits lower with shorter grips and there are black screws dotted around the hilt of the saber, there is a little more black around the lower section of his mask (for those who don't know, Darth Vader's mask is painted in an alternating pattern of black and gunmetal grey in all films except episode III), the dome of the helmet sits a tiny bit higher, exposing his eyebrows more, the indentation in the dome just above his eyebrows is absent, the chest and belt box button layouts change slightly and the aluminium tusks on his mask come to a point rather than being hemispherical like in ESB. but nobody notices small details like that.

Way too much.99 is the type of budget I can get behind. Great build as always. I think you found a much higher purpose for this display case than what it was originally meant for.

There is another Bandai model kit of Darth Vader. It is the Return of the Jedi specifically, which comes with an unmask Darth Vader head and damaged hand. besides those additions, it changes the plastic soft goods with a rubber soft goods.

Pro tip for sticker removal: spray a cloth with something like chain degreaser and rub down the residue after you remove the rest of the sticker. It just comes right off. I work in a bike shop and you'd be ASTONISHED at the number of uses I've found for chain degreaser that don't involve degreasing chains.

@XaviusNight 7 ай бұрын

isopropyl alcohol also does wonders on clearing up sticker residue if you can't source chain degreaser for some reason; it isn't quite as effective, but it's better than nothing (and might already be in your house).

@nitroxylictv 7 ай бұрын

I have a solution better than both degreaser and alcohol, and it smells better: Orange oil It will literally remove anything, but be careful. Its harmful if swallowed because its concentrated orange juice so its basically a liquid carcinogen.

Heat gun or blow dryer does the job

@dshrecksBW 7 ай бұрын

I like how each lightsaber lights the opposing figure in a different shade. Usually Vader is lit red, but here he's lit green. It exemplifies Luke's influence on him over time. His armor, his shell he built up to house his core of guilt and regret for his past, reflects a green glow showing how difficult it is for Luke to get through as he seemingly just ignores all of Luke's pleas for peace and redemption. Luke on the other hand is lit in red, showing a warming up to the Dark Side and his Father's ways when confronted with a no-win scenario. Even so, he shows a steady resistance to temptation despite the influence of rage and anger from the Emperor because he knows he has friends to avenge and the memory of Obi Wan and Yoda to preserve.

@keithm.404 Ай бұрын

I think its because more of the green LED noodle is nearer the Vader figure and more of the red LED noodle is nearer the Luke figure.

Sometimes, you need a little luck in life. In this case, finding an $80.00 display case for only $20.00 to display a well-executed "Star Wars" scene. (It's also nice to see at 3:28 that the Empire does, in fact, use handrails . . . .) Thanks for sharing this!

I am an adult and I just watched the original trilogy this year lol. I gotta say, as dated as some parts of these movies are, they really do make you feel something. I enjoyed them a lot, and I may even hold a Star Wars party and rewatch the movies with some friends. I'm glad you got to experience that as a child though, it must be so awesome being able to grow up with that interest :)
