Wow thank you for including my ship in your build!!!! Its cool to see something I made will be a part of your room build.
Is that you Donald? Thanks for the awesome piece, it’s one of my absolute favorites!
I have to say, your Millennium Falcon build and conversion is just absolutely beautiful.
Brian, for me STARWARS has been a universe that took me out of the pain of being orphaned on May 24, 1977, I watched the movie everyday for 3 months I was 14 years old and felt that Luke and Ben kenobi were showing me the way… So I embedded that into my family May the 4th is a reminder of what got me out of a big hole.
My wife,2 sons, and 2 grandsons are probably not as nerdish as I am but for us (me) it’s the universe that made us thrive!
So keep building things out of nothing we love it!
I’m so glad it has that power for you, may the force be with you and all of your family!
The epitamy of what is inside all of us nerds, geeks, fan's.....we wear our lables with pride. Thank you Brian and Carissa for providing us with inspiration and enjoyment.
Thank you!!!
May the 4th be with you, Brian and Carissa! Thanks for including my build!
Thank you for sharing it!
Brian, you always bring the best reasons to be part of the Star Wars family to the fore and I love you for that. May the force be with you too...always 🤓
Thank you so much!!
I could not agree with you more! Thank you so much for not only the talent but inspiration. May the 4th be with you! 👏🏻
Same to you! Thank you
Thank you for including our little Jawa video. 💕 And thank you for defending the fort (restaurant) against those who try to lift themselves by pushing others down. May the 4th be with you. 💕
absolutely! Loved your project!!!!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Thank you! 💕
I'm a new high school teacher in your dad's home town. I sure wish you would star wars room up my classroom!
That’s awesome!!! Maybe we can help!
Awesome video buddy, thanks for chucking my CGI project in there!
You bet bro!!
May the 4th be with you on this special occasion, aka: my birthday, but also Star Wars.
Scott, you must legally change your name to Han Solo. It's Galactic Law.
Happy Birthday!!
Turns out Thompson and Favreau both really know how to cook. Never knew how great a dive cantina could be. 🐐 So thrilled our very last minute ingredients could be added to the creative feast! Thanks for all you do and May the 4th be with you always.
Thank you my friend! So loved having your wonderful family in the video
How fitting to wake up to a new video on May 4th! Incredible work again.
Thank you!!!
This is a great way to start my day. Begin with a Smuggler’s Room vid and end it by getting married.
May the force be with you!
Congratulations!!!
@@TheSmugglersRoom thank you!
I am also a Star Wars fan. Don't know how big or small but a fan, since my childhood. There are many answers to your question, as to why building Star Wars props from nothing is worth every fan's time? It gives a sense of purpose to a monotonous life, like a video game. Having a purpose is important even if it is from a video game. Purpose leads to everything else more important than a video game.
Another answer is enjoying pure art with your own hands. Nothing can beat that fun. It's a hobby. A place or a galaxy far far away for you to relax. Hobby is anything done only for sake of doing. It's pure fun. It's pure art. There should not be regret in any art. If you are having fun just keep having fun as long as you want.
Next is the learning part. You need practice to design something useful for the real world. This artform has shown me a way to practice and refine my designs. As a beginner I learn from the artists like you. Since, there are no constraints so you can experiment freely with the design. Moreover, the raw material is from trash so it can be thrown away. However, I know how difficult it is to part away from the masterpiece created with your own hands. This has led me pile up trash, I mean creations, meant to be thrown away.
One video request: If you can make a video dedicated to reproducing Star Wars colour pallet and paint effects organised categorically using just spray paint cans and simple brush painting. It will be immensely informative for the beginners like me.
Thank you, for sharing another great video.
Thank you! Great stuff. Well work on that paint scheme
There couldn't be a better way to celebrate Star Wars Day than to see you create another brilliant piece and enjoy those great builds from others. I agree, creating art is an escape but it's also what makes us as humans [and perhaps Nerds] a species with potential despite our failings. May the 4th be with you )O(
Thank you!
Well said, Brian, well said! So nice to see so many creative projects as well!
Thank you bro!!
Amazing build and that Millennium Falcon is just beautiful!
Here I am, 45 and still trying to nail down my passion. It used to be gaming but the toxic and predatory nature of gaming corporations has really driven me away. I am starting to rekindle my love for model and diorama building that was lost sometime in my youth when I had to "grow up". My love of Star Wars has not waned since I was 7 years old and watched Return of the Jedi with my dad.
I love your passion and I hope one day to be as passionate and inspired as you are. May the Force be with you and Happy Star Wars Day!
Thank you! Now get out there and start modeling! Its amazing fun
Amazing and "wax" away brother. You and your channel helped me find a the perfect balance between my artistic side and my love of star wars. It was an aspect of life that I did not know I needed. So thank you. Funny enough I was just telling my wife tonight that our community has got to be one of the most healthy and positive star wars communities around. I think you articulated the appropriate approach very well.
Thank you!! I could not agree more, we have such a great community!
"“In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.” - Yoda / George. We all quest for peace and tranquility. Mindfulness is a form of this. Children are the most mindful of all, their minds on where they are and what they are doing in that very moment. Dreading the past or fearing the future is not just mindfulness, but foolishness. Follow your dreams but know that it's important to support those dreams, one must be responsible and accountable along the way. Just like The Force, one must have balance. Wax poetic, Brian and May The 4th Be With You!
Awesome!
Pepto as a drink😅😅 I loved your waxing philosophic on Star Wars, beautiful words, hardly even noticed you were actually working on a project. Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Star Wars was (and is for us and our kids) something that brought us together as a WHOLE family. My mom and dad had a tough time of their marriage, making life for me and my brother not always fun. BUT....we ALL were happy when we watched Star Wars. Every Christmas from 1977-78 on was some sort of Star Wars toys for us. SO MANY quotable moments, fun times, creative incredible escapes. My Grandpas house in Palmdale was the Lars homestead (we live in the desert in Lancaster/Palmdale California where they found the high tension wires to make the blaster sounds!!) When we combed the desert in our VW vans, we saw old TV chassis and grandpa would "see if there were any good tubes in them!!" HOOTEENEEEEE!!!! We were Jawas too! Let those who don't understand follow their own path. STAR WARS FOREVER! GEEKS FOREVER!!!! MTFBWY today and always!!!! :) 53 year old Star Wars GEEK and I'll NEVER apologize! :) Happy May 4th!
🙏 love it!
Thank you for sharing your video and thoughts. The Smugglers Room is a part of my May the 4th celebration.
Wonderful! Have a great day!
Wax on! I always love when you dip into the philosophical. Loving it. Doesn’t have to be instead of inspiration, tips and tricks, but in addition, whenever it’s present in you, and tangential to your making in more ways than the analysis of fandom alone . One of my favorite videos so far. MTFBWY 2024.
Thank you so much!
Happy Star Wars day!!! 🎉
And you!
What a great video. And i think the message goes beyond Star Wars - there are so many things we HAVE to do, which makes it really important to find something we WANT to do. We all need an escape. May the force be with you all.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Brian you awesome geek. May the forth be with you. You and your spaced out crew always bring great content to your show. Keep up the great work and your fans will never be too far, far away in other galaxies.
Thank you!!!
Thank y’all for all you do.
Thank you for watching!
I think about these concepts a lot too. You expressed it very well. I loved this video.
Thank you so much! Appreciate it my friend!
Love that you put other people's Awesome projects on the channel, all of them were really cool including yours, love your channel and i just got started with an obsession of blade runner and i am starting to watch with open eyes star wars. I think we need an indepth video on this project!!!!
Thank you very much!
Yes! Blade Runner!
It's not even an escape from life, if your life is filled with it.
It's not like being passive in front of a tv. People develop real life skills by having creative hobbies.
Outstanding
May the 4th be with you! That came out awesome, as usual. Love your channel, and as always "It's all Brian's fault!"
LOL!! Thank you!
Truly inspiring, Brian.Keep doing what you're doing.May the fourth be with you
Thank you! Will do!
My Sister is the Star Wars fan myself I'm here looking for things I could use in Space version of DnD and Mass Effect Room builds 😅
Excellent!!
May the fourth be with you all! Great projects everyone!
Thank you!!!
Your channel constantly inspires me. Whether it’s Star Wars or any other project I want or need to do you folks get the creative bacta flowing.
Thank you
The path you follow is your own this is the way 😎 May the 4th be with you
Well said!
What you said in the conclusion is true, and it’s great experiencing Star Wars through your builds, and the great fan builds you highlighted. But for me personally you left out one aspect. I’m sort of a lapsed catholic of Star Wars fandom (at this point the only exception is Andor). But I keep coming to your channel because the techniques I’ve learned from you I use in so many other projects. It’s you (and Charissa and your dad’s) enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and passion that brings me back. If the Smugglers Guild is a family, you’re the ones who made us feel like one. May the Fourth be with you always!
So kind of you to say. Thank you!
Happy May the 4th everyone may the force be with you all.
You too
Thanks, Brian, love back at you.
Thank you!
Yeah!! Well said! The Smuggler has spoken! May the 4th be with you!!
👍
If you’re not creating, you’re waiting to die. Keep creating these diverse and interesting projects, sir!
Creation certainly makes life more enjoyable. Thanks for watching.
...at the same time we need to hold to task those whom we allow to hold the keys to our culture.
Happy May the 4!
Love it
This was such an awesome video!! Loved seeing all of the different awesome projects! And your insights on the fandom are spot on. The Maker Star Wars geeks seem to be one of the most welcoming, positive, and supportive communities I’ve ever seen and that’s incredible
Thank you so much!! The maker community around it is truly awesome!
May the 4th be with you too, buckaroo. (-; That was really good. ••• PEACES!!!
Thank you!
At first I thought addictions are bad, but I did a little research. They can be bad IF they interfere with your life, but there are plenty of good addictions. However, as a weilder a words, I think PASSION is a much better word. You have a PASSION for Star Wars and creating things about Star Wars. If it caused problems in your life, family, or whatever; it would be a bad addiction. My apologies but I am a stickler for the ways things are communicated. Anyway, May the Fourth be with you. Live long and prosper. 😁
Maybe I am passionately addicted? 😉
May the 4th be wirh you Brian!!!!
With you as well!
May the 4th be with you my good friend !!!
And with you bro!
May the 4th be with you all, hope you're having a great day
You too
MTFBW! A philosophical waxing wrapped around what you do best, building something out of nothing.
You are an inspiration! ty for all that you are!
Thank you so much!
As always, awesome vid! Love your gadget and all the community ones. I really like the way you interspersed them throughout your build, and, of course, you showed mine first...B*) Thank you for the community, and I do hope we can share a cold Fat Bantha and some barbequed mynoc some day!
Thank you!! So appreciate you being a part of it!
I had an interaction at a local event I worn my Mando to, I had an individual come and ask me Why? I responded simple ,Why not? they answered back, Touché and walked away.
To all the Darksiders and Imperials. Revel in Revenge of the 5th.
Ooh gotta deduct points for that square deflector dish.
Nah, I love the square dish!!
I have also been obsessed with Star Wars since I was a child, and I am very proud of it, and thanks to this obsession and wanting to do "Star Wars style stuff" I found the Smugglers Room channel, and I saw that I am not the only one, thank you for inspiring us and teaching us so much 👏👏 Happy Star Wars Day and May the 4th be with you guys
Thank you! We appreciate all the years you’ve been watching us!
What a lovely set of builds for a great little vid. I love the positivity, something I think we're all in dire need of. 💛
Thank you!
Cool builds! Love how you repurposed the toys. May the 4th be with you!
Thank you!!!!
Happy May the 4th!!!!
A group of awesome builds!!! ❤❤❤
Same to you
WoW, awesome builds my friends. I do appreciate the wide variety of gadgets and gizmos we create in the Star Wars Universe
Thank you!
A great prop and story about why we like what we like. All of the wonderful makers made awesome props.
Thanks Wayne!
Awesome video and great builds by you and all those you featured.
And we can’t let those who don’t understand or appreciate our art influence us - that comment really resonates with me; for me, that’s my dad. He will forever question my hobbies and how I spend my time and money. I get it, he does not understand and he’s frugal; I indulge what gives me pleasure. To make my life more enjoyable - This is the way. And it’s great that our community has makers like you who help share the way for others.
we all need to invest in things that make us happy. I find in peace in that.
@@TheSmugglersRoom absolutely true.
May the 4th be with you sir ! Thank you so much for this channel and your content. You are awesome
Thank you kindly!
Great video. Some people don't understand what makes us fans but it units all of us that are! Great video and May the 4th be with you!
Thank you!! You are so correct!
@@TheSmugglersRoom you and your family put out great content and inspire those of us that are just starting out.my kids and I love your channel. I hope to post my first video soon
I love watching your videos. The passion you have for Star Wars and its universe. I wish I an ounce of imagination that you do Brian, I might be able to release some great ideas I have in my head. At least you had someone show you how to make something out of nothing. May the 4th be with you and Carissa always.
Thank you!
Happy May the 4th!
you too!
Happy Star Wars day. Great video as always.
Thank you!!!!
And still everything has to look like used forever. BUT beware you make scratches or, god forbid, dents in it!
Feels like you put in a blaster shot impact, but only painting it on the surface and put no real hole or deformation to it.
(See it as positive feedback.What you do is awesome and the video production quality is above and beyond)
I have been a Star Wars fan since 1977 💖
Me too!
I was a fan about 6 months earlier then the rest of the world...
Happy may the 4th thank you for all you do.❤
Thank you so much!
I like watching you guys build something out of nothing, and they look great and Star Wars stuff I like too I just don't have talent to do what you do. I see how much you enjoy creating all those gadgets, well, in a way I sort of do something similar. I like to make little visual modifications to my cars. Unfortunately, mostly in vinyl. Well, um, eh... these mods are best viewed from ten feet away where they look OK. Be waiting for your next vlog. You and your wife have such great chemistry together. Light the spark.
Thank you!! Don’t sell yourself short, I bet you are making awesome stuff for your cars and that’s fantastic!!
Lol! Wait there is no 12 step program? For this addiction of watching your videos, and living vicariously through your builds. Holy crap! I'm in deep trouble! And the builds of your fans are great!
LOL!!! Once an addict . . . always an addict! Thank you for watching!
Lol well it's a good addiction! Smirks, Guess that makes me the unofficial president of S.r.a.g! (Smugglers Room Addicts Guild!) We are currently kegging some Bantha beer and Jawa juice for a crazy party! Lol...
Star Wars is a way of life. My 10 yr old daughter woke up and surprised me by telling me " May the 4th be with you" while wearing a cloak and one of my custom lightsabers. I now know for sure i am doing parenting right. Thanks Brian and Carissa.
That’s definitely parenting done right!
Great video as usual , I’m 65 and love this stuff , 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this video, it’s so true though. For me it’s an escape, hard depression and trying to be the best father I can be for my kids this is a fun thing now I get to share with them so it helps even more.
Enjoyment and something you can share with your kids is most excellent
when you edge light your plexy, that has been laser engraved, how well does it illuminate those etchings/engravigns?
and, that came out GREAT. nice job.
and
May the 4th be with you
Edge lighting on score lines and engraving is absolutely amazing!
Great post. Thank you! The build you featured today is wicked awesome. I actually had that toy as a kid. Wish I had it now to duplicate your craftsmanship.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful, man. Only thing that makes me sad is the rectangular dish :(
Nah, don’t let that bother you. Just part of the evolution of things.
Sage advice as always. May the 4th be with you.
Thank you!
I never realized how big of a star wars fan I am until i got a 3d printer. 3 out of 4 things that come off of it are Star Wars related….
Agreed! It’s awesome right?
Thank you, sir for your explanations of this Universe, and remember May the 4th be with you, beware the Revenge of the 5th, and for everyone else, this is the May.....
Thank you, I will
From your heart to mine!
Thank you!
Great video Brian. Can I share my May 4th story with you?
October last year I was run down by a hit and run driver. I'm doing ok but waiting for operation number 4 on a long road to recovery. I havent physically been able to get in my workshop cave for 6 months, but made a special effort for May 4th. My daughter came through the door of my workshop to find me just sitting there smiling. She asked me what I was doing and I just replied "I'm in my happy place"
Can't wait to get back to my build, but in the mean time I'm enjoying watching everyone else's. Keep 'em coming
MTFBWY
First of all I’m so sorry that you’ve had to go through such an awful situation, and we are very glad to hear you are on the mend and getting better each day.
Secondly, so very happy you have found your way back to the place that brings you joy. I understand that completely.
Prayers for your continued recovery, you got this!!
@TheSmugglersRoom thank you so much. I honestly wasnt posting for sympathy but it is very much appreciated. I just wanted to highlight that whatever your chosen escape, if you cant do it for a period of time for whatever reason, getting back to it is so much sweeter. And that doing what you love can have MASSIVE positive gains on mental wellbeing :-D
May the 4th be with you and thank you for another awesome video. This is the way
Thank you!
Ok this was BEAUTIFUL! From the start to the end.
Thank you so much.
That explains why while I really like the SW and sci fi themed rooms I've seen, I don't have a lot of impulse to build my own. I do enjoy building things but I'm not particularly artistic. Not to mention... Talk about dust traps! Yikes! And I hate cleaning. ;-) Thanks for sharing.
Dust is just weathering 🤣 but I get it. Thanks for watching.
@@TheSmugglersRoom Funny, I had thought of the same thing "Hey it'll just make it looked well used." Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for sharing! I loved this! May the Force be with You Always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is Beautiful! Is love to see your process in creating for example the clear plate. The software and how it translate to the laser cutter
Thank you! We need to do that for sure
Love this video with all my heart and soul. You nailed it. 100%. This is the way!
Thank you so much!
Yes!! Exactly ...😆👍
👍
Awesome video! Hope you have a great May the 4th!
I hope you do too!
Nice work as always Brian!
Thank you! Cheers!
Enjoyed the video.
so glad to hear that!
This was beautiful. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Seeing the other prop builds and mine made me realize that I need to step up my game.
Thank you!
Love it. May the 4th be with you
As with you!
Outstanding work. Nice piece of work 👍👍
Thank you
Words well spoken! Also - a Raspberry PI, battery, and GPS dongle could make that object into an actually location tracker. ;-)
Thank you, and Thank you!!
The finished product looks great! Now- I’m gonna eat something.
it does look amazing, come on over and grab a bite for the 4th my friend :)
LOL! Thanks man!
@@DelooPabet Gonna celebrate your birthday! Wait until you see what I made you!
May the 4th be with you
You too!!
I can’t explain it. Star Wars beared us, birthed us, made us powerful, gave us focus…
Agreed
All I know is that Tauntaun is way too gamey! You have to soak it in brine for three days and hope for the best!
🤣
Well now I'm dying to try a beer can porg....
Right??? 🤣
