Because of the way they're made, I'd assume that any intrusions in them wouldn't impart them with the same properties - or in fact wouldn't form right at all and would just crack.

I found out because of the Smarter Every Day episode posted at the top of this thread, a few years ago. Great channel to subscribe to, he's currently doing a space series, talking to astronomers and so forth.

Also BDA: Owowowowow nope-nope-nope-nope

Trap idea is definitely a more robust and reliable idea. I wouldn't want to be the guy creating the arrows, nor the one firing them; same goes for packing and firing the trebuchet packs. But the trap idea? I now have something for my next Dungeons and Dragons game I run, thanks.

Aside from the bars cut out between verses, actually, I think the sync will be pretty spot-on. I'll do a light edit to that video so it still syncs up behind me

I, conversely, know the song absurdly well and can tell that Teague cut out some time in between verses, the instruments go for a bit longer than that

Absolutely looking forward to doing this. Friday is probably the next day I can reasonably record something but I'm psyched.

I don't do much in the way of instruments - nothing at all really - but if I'm feeling ambitious I may record an a capella track or two as well for the backing music.

Endor definitely works as space-only:

Anybody here own a bus or a big rig to stand in for capital ships?

I thought about that. It's definitely doable from a snowspeeder perspective, the trick is figuring out our AT-AT analogues - or if we're just hooning around empty parking lots and compositing in Power of the Force / Action Fleet / LEGO / CG walkers afterward

...Which I'm totally down for.

Vapes, I've got one of those too, love it

Teague, All X-wings and the Y-wings at Yavin are one-man fighters, I believe called out as such by Dodonna during the briefing as something the Empire hadn't planned on. I just did front seat / back seat since we only had two vehicles at our disposal, plus having fewer at all times just made it less to coordinate up and down my dead-end street. (I'm sure any neighbors that were paying attention, though, are now more convinced of my weirdness.)

Tom, the video actually takes cuts from both the Y-wing run and the first X-wing run. I'll probably release a side-by-side tomorrow. And Owen, I'm particularly happy that my dog looked over his shoulder because I was able to match it to Leia doing the same thing in that shot

And hell yes X-wing road trip.

Ooh, I'm down. Cockpit scenes like this lend themselves very easily to shot-for-shot remakes like this; if we were to do other scenes, we'd have to take more liberties. But I mean, Battles of Hoth and Endor, totally doable (though exterior shots would need a few more resources). And that's just Star Wars. I'm sure there are plenty of other such movies (or TV shows) that would do just as well.

I did not know that and am now intrigued.

Though I don't plan on doing full Let's Play videos for it, I did record a video in Elite: Dangerous a couple days ago. In the forum for the game, three times were set up on the 12th, Lincoln's birthday, to meet outside of the station named after him.

The game isn't on centralized servers, instead managing peer-to-peer connections for small groups of people to see each other. My particular time (first video) I didn't get anybody in my instance. Another instance got eight or nine, which is a lot. I really enjoyed the second video posted here; CMDR Virgil Kyle was at two different meetups and read the Gettysburg Address at each.
