Sketch Live Suggestion

Happenings

Hi SketchUp Masters,

I feel a great disturbance in the Force. May the 4th is fast approaching, and while it refuses to land on a Friday this year, surely that is no match for your powers.

So here I am, sending a slightly cheeky transmission from the outer rim with a suggestion. Why not tackle a Star Wars themed build once more? A squad of droids would be a solid choice, loyal, dependable, and unlikely to complain about polygon counts. Or, if you are feeling bold enough to embrace the Dark Side, an AT AT could stride majestically across your screens.

If that feels like taking on the Empire single handedly, a Rebel snow speeder or an Imperial speeder bike might be a more nimble mission, fast, stylish, and far less likely to crush your timeline.

After all, last year you brought my suggestion to life with the Death Star trench, which was, frankly, a build of galactic proportions. Naturally, I am now convinced I have a direct line to the Force, or at least to your suggestion list.

So once again, I place my faith in destiny. Choose wisely, SketchUp Masters.

May the Force be with you… and may my idea be strong with it.

Yours, somewhere between Jedi and Sith,

John Ross

Depends, if Aaron is doing the live on that day, he will probably refuse, he is not much into star wars, more like a Trekkie. :upside_down_face:

Isn’t this a Hallmark Channel production? I feel like it was on at my great aunt’s at Thanksgiving. From the TVGuide:

Harrison Shatner stars as a swashbuckling federation pilot of a smuggling vessel. He has a penchant for the ladies and after wooing and bedding alien life throughout the galaxy he returns to his home planet to settle down and falls in love with local royalty. Hijinx ensue including delivering secret plans to destroy Darth Khan’s super weapon and return the sand whales to their native habitat on Tattleween. Watch this heartwarming RomCom tale of love that spans the galaxy this Thanksgiving.

:tomato::tomato::tomato:

just so you don’t take it the wrong way, I was joking, OFF COURSE Aaron does something starwars ralated every year around that time, he is a big SW fan. have you seen his medichlorian count ? it’s over 9000.

if you look at older live videos, you’ll see lightsabers, droids, ships, and even (a long long time ago…) traces of his lego millenium falcon made in sketchup.

and on that note, why not some Calatrava stuff ? now it’s canon in Andor (along with a lot of british places), it would be architecthematic

I still don’t know quite which is which:

  • a sci-fi series famous for the Finnish-designed silver necklace one of the main characters wore, and a hairy character once played by a Finn.
  • another scifi-series famous for having nothing to do with Finland
  • an animated sci-fi series made with plastic models that showed on TV when I was a kid.
