| | | | | (...) An additional tidbit was that Jason had a very strong desire to "swoosh" a completed ISD, which is what we did with ISD #2. He & I took it out and around the LEGO booth on it's brief maiden flight (even people at a Star Wars convention get out (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

| | | | | (...) So, out of curiosity, do you know about how long it took the other teams (on the Sith side) to complete their models? (or the other Jedi team you didn't face?) When I was talking to a few people we sort of agreed that we really had no idea HOW (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) I believe the winning times in the first round were (within a minute or two) 3 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours, & 1:47 In the second round, the Sith match was VERY close. The first team clamed victory, but was told they were not complete. Then, the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) It kinda did. Evidently at least one match ran over time enough that an alternate location needed to be chosen for the match that should have followed it. This alternative was a bigger non-public room, where we *were* allowed to use the floor, (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

|
| | | | | (...) This was very different from the builds done by AFOLs in the past. Mostly because the entire build had to be done using just one 8x4 foot table (really, two 8x2 tables with a crack in the middle). Both teams were packed into the LEGO booth, so (...)

Building the lower bridge became second nature, portions memorized... but I have (...) (20 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(URL) I left out the slave girl Leia costume as I thought it was outside Brickshelf's ToS, but I included JarJar Binks in carbonite, because, well... hatred of JarJar is *very* (...)

I think I've been on more ISD builds than anybody else--except we weren't stuck with the table size you guys had--makes the build even more challenging! (I was (...)
