‘Rogue One’ - 5years old

Five years ago, Star Wars gave us Rogue One.

Managed to get the above 50th anniversary Rogue One trading card off ebay, as I’d missed out on buying one off the website. Also managed to not pay over the odds for it.

Found and saved this above image that was posted up on Twitter earlier this year on one of the #rogueone trending days lol.

Close look and you can see droids 😎

Rogue One - two years on (2016-2018)

Can believe that I didn't post up pictures of the

Rogue One event we attended back in 2016!

So as a tribute, here's some of the photos taken on the day.

The UK R2D2 Builders Club,

(myself, Brad, Colin, Emma, Simon & Adam)

joined up with Joker Squad

to raise money for charity.

Jedi, Wookiee & droids.....

I also forgot about this sticker on my old transmitter box.

Had to get it down to document a modification

I'd carried on to add the hand strap.

Rogue One Print

Designed by Paul 'Wiz' Johnson.

Watching Solo at the cinema with my youngest.

The 'Rogue Ones' limited edition print - framed

On my way home the other night, I stopped off at The Range (a UK) store near me and picked up a frame, that a fellow club member had also bought.

Really impressed with this and now it hangs on my wall at home.

The 'Rogue Ones' limited edition print

This amazing limited edition,

Lucasfilm authorised,

print was created by Paul 'Wiz' Johnson.

Each one signed and numbered.

Paul is a bit of a rendering genius, combined images of the droids that he had previously created into this reproduction of the Stormtrooper's wading in the shoreline from the Rogue One trailer images.

Here's a link to Paul's portfolio work over on Artstation

These are only available to members of the R2 Builders club.

They are limited to just 250 prints!

A donation from each print sold goes towards Meningitis Now,

in memory of Joanna,

daughter of a club member how sadly and suddenly succumbed to the infection.
