Star Wars is just getting better and better. And thus, more and more popular! There's so many great books and such to promote. And guess what's coming up next week? Yep, May 4th! So it only made sense to make a free printable Star Wars library display! The idea originated with this share from Ridgewood Public Library. I liked it so much, I thought I'd make my own to share. And, to add my own personal touch, Han now is holding a book. He's researching Vader's Little Princess. Yep, you better believe it. Chewie is holding a stack of books, too. You can access the .pdf printables here. I have both the poster and the bookmarks. It's sized 11x 14.25, which means if you want to print it big on a 11x17, you can. Otherwise, it downsizes quite nicely to a 8.5x11. The bookmarks are only one-sided; I recommend listing some of your own library's call numbers for your most popular Star Wars books on the back. Put a few books on display nearby, too! Anyway, hope you enjoy it. This doesn't have to be May 4th alone, but would work for Star Wars Reads Day and any other day you feel like celebrating wookiees. Because, obviously, they are pretty awesome.

There have been some epic LEGO Star Wars large-scale starships released over the years, from the Millennium Falcon to the Star Destroyer. And the new UCS-style Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser 75367 is no exception. The Venator set offers fans a thrilling display model of the famous military capital ship used by the Republic during the Clone Wars – and if you know your Star Wars lore, you will recognise the design as the one that eventually morphed into the dreaded Star Destroyer used by the Galactic Empire. The model smartly combines a grey hull with red Republic trims, with plenty of details on show, such as the hangar, giant sublight engines, and gun turrets. Due to the ship’s size, it is essential to display it in the right way. And while the LEGO stand included with the set will function just fine, there are ways to enhance your display even further… WHAT ARE THE BEST OPTIONS FOR DISPLAYING THE LEGO VENATOR 75367? STANDARD DUST-FREE DISPLAY iDisplayit’s standard Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser Display Case for LEGO 75367 is an easy addition to your LEGO model and stand, allowing you to exhibit the ship on any flat surface while assuring it stays protected against everything from dust and fingerprints to laser bolts and clumsy pets. Clear display cases are designed to not only keep the model clean but to enhance the look of the set – the 3mm thick clear acrylic panels have also been specially designed to showcase the ship without distracting attention away from the details. Thanks to the KDF screw technology used for this product, the Star Wars LEGO presentation case can be easily assembled without adhesives or complex tools, ensuring each panel is held securely in place, ready to protect the model against damage. Each case is available with a choice of black or white acrylic for the base, suited to your personal aesthetic preference. This standard case also has an optional printed background inspired by the planet of Coruscant. More on that below... THE SPACE-SAVING DISPLAY The LEGO stand included with the model is a handy addition to the set – but it has its limitations. With iDisplayit’s unique multi-angle 2in1 Display Stand for LEGO 75367, you can show off your model on any flat surface, with the choice of a horizontal configuration or a 45-degree angle, which displays more of the ship’s details while giving the impression the ship is banking mid-flight in space. The transparent acrylic also helps to disguise the stand and draw attention to the model itself. You can also grab a Flat Clear Display Stand which is designed to replace the original LEGO stand with almost the same measurements, while allowing you to display the model on a clear, disguised display. Whether you want to exhibit the Venator on a table, shelf, desk or counter, this adaptable display stand is the perfect addition. Check it out in action as part of a LEGO Star Wars collection above! This stand is made of premium quality, clear 6mm acrylic, with straightforward assembly on receipt. COFFEE TABLE DISPLAY UNIT There's no better centrepiece for your living room than your favourite LEGO set displayed in a specialised 6mm thick acrylic coffee table. This furniture-style unit has room for an optional 2in1 display stand to heighten the presentation of your Ultimate Collector Series, is constructed from 6mm clear acrylic, and features a sleek and stylish black timber wood base for the model to rest on, that will complement any interior decor. DISPLAY CASE SHOWCASE WITH PRINTED BACKGROUND For something truly special, invest in this combination Venator Display Case & Angled Display Stand, which has been precision-sized to house the model resting on a 2in1 Display Stand for LEGO 75367 inside a 3mm thick acrylic display case. Bespoke options include an optional printed background, which is pre-applied to the product to avoid any problematic or messy application on receipt. Designed by the iDisplayit in-house art team, this illustrative backdrop shows the city-planet of Coruscant set against the darkness of space. As Star Wars fans will know, the Venator featured heavily during the Siege of Coruscant space battle, which occurred at the start of Revenge of the Sith. With this stylish art addition, fans can augment their Venator display with the added illusion of the ship in mid-flight. You can also grab an alternate combo display case which combines with our flat display stand or the LEGO stand included with the set. All iDisplayit stands and display cases include plenty of room for the Galactic Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer information plaque to be displayed alongside the model…

Here's something fun John and I've been meaning to build for a while now: A Death Star Funko Pop Shelf! This wasn't actually for us - no WAY we have that kind of free wall space - but for our friend Steph, who is cuckoo for Funko Pops. She gets new Star Wars ones every month, and initially fell in love with this shelf from The Sew*er, The Caker, The Copycat Maker: Isn't it gorgeous? That one requires soooo many cuts, though - super labor intensive - plus John and I really wanted to incorporate some lights for that extra wow factor. So instead we decided on a simple silhouette with jagged sides, which we would then back light with color-changing LEDs. The whole thing took a day and a half to build and paint, and cost about $60. More than half that cost was for lights you can find cheaper online, though, so your cost should be closer to $45. John's mounting system holds the shelf away from the wall a few inches, which allows room for the lighting hardware and that glorious glowy goodness. Sadly I don't have a template to share with you, since John made this up as he went along, but I can walk you through the build photos and show you how to make your own. YOU WILL NEED: - (1) 4x8 sheet of 1/2 inch MDF, cut in half. (One half will be the Death Star silhouette, and the other will be the shelves.) - (1) 16-foot LED light strip with remote, like this one: These are the same kind of lights we used in our steampunk circle shelves. They're only $15 on Amazon, but we were in a rush, so we paid $35 at the local electronics shop. (Boo.) You'll also need: - Wood glue & short wood screws - Hot glue gun & hot glue (to attach the lights) - Painters' Tape or masking tape - Table saw - Jigsaw - Router - Primer & gray paint Since we had to transport the unit in the car, John built ours in two pieces, with the seam behind the middle shelf. If you're building yours onsite, though, you can keep your circle in one piece. So, start by drawing a 46 inch circle: (You could go up to 48 inches, but our wood was a little banged on the edges.) Use a compass or a small bowl to mark the smaller circle at the top left. Next use the painters' tape to mark out your shelf spacing: We made the top shelves a little farther apart, to accommodate larger Pops. Next use more tape (preferable something an inch or two wide) to mark out the jagged edge: You can see the clip art we used as a reference, but we mostly just winged it. Trace everything with a pencil, then remove the tape: Now the awful part: go out in the 90 degree, mosquito-infested heat, and cut everything out with the jigsaw. While you're at it, cut the shelves, too. (No process pics here because I graciously allowed John to do all the hard stuff. :D) Our shelves are 3 inch wide MDF strips, but be aware some of the extra wide specialty Pops (like Luke's land speeder) won't fit on 3 inches, so you may want to go wider. Again, ours is in two pieces. You can see here how the middle shelf covers that seam: Next route all the edges except the jagged side. If you don't have a router, hit the edges with a palm sander to round them a little. (This is technically optional, but it looks more polished this way.) You could just use wood glue to attach the shelves (it's more than strong enough), but our wood was a little warped, so John had to use a few screws, too. Once the glue's dry, spray on some primer and then apply a gray satin top coat: We used a small mohair roller to paint ours, but spray paint's another good option. Just watch out for drips on that jagged edge! Once the painting is done, it's time to flip the unit over and install the lights. The lights have an adhesive backing, but you'll need that hot glue to help bend them into shape around the circle: You can see John added extra pieces of wood under the hanger and on the bottom to give the unit more distance from the wall. The hanger itself is hard to describe, so here's a visual aid: The bottom piece is not attached to the shelf unit, and gets screwed into the wall (into two studs.) The top piece IS attached to the shelf unit, and slides into place on the lower one. This system is super strong and secure, and makes hanging the whole unit a breeze. (A-ha! Apparently the hanger is called a French Cleat. Thanks, commenters!) Even with harsh sunlight on it, the color LEDs look fantastic: And the remote lets you change them to all sorts of pretty colors: Although the blue wall paint makes the yellow LEDs look bright green. Heh. After dark is when the shelf REALLY shines, though: Oooooh. Aaaaaaaah. How's that for a geeky night light, eh? The remote lets you dim the lights, too, so they're less bright/overwhelming. Or there's a flashing option, if you want to throw a disco dance party. :D We calculated our shelf can hold around 42 regular size Pop figures. Steph has 32 on there now, so she has a little room to grow. Also, if our silhouette design is too simple for you, you could always paint in some panels and detailing on the Death Star - or paint it solid black, or pink, or whatever strikes your fancy. Make it your own! Then send me pictures! Hope you guys enjoyed our latest build! Now I'm off to start sketching our next idea. Mwah. Ha. Haaa.
