[FO] To the friendliest sub on reddit, some of you may remember this effort I began way too long ago (3 years)...if you ask my daughter at least. I taught myself CS to complete this request for my daughter. To any dads out there CS for their daughters...never give up...I finally did it!

With no disrespect to Vader in suit, I wish there was more time with Lord Vader pre-injuries. After spending my entire childhood wondering what his abilities were like without medical assistance (via suit), it was great to see finally witness it and I wish we had more. Anyone else agree?

[WIP] For those that remember, I'm still chugging along on this Aroura Old Fashioned as my daughter requested, which I learned to cross-stitch for as a father. I'm really proud of how it's coming along, 6/9 pages down, 3 to go!!!! Can't wait to frame this thing...in time for her birthday!

I had been warned to stay away from the tales; however, I am 4 tales in (130 pages) and I am really enjoying this legends treat. I especially love the easter egg in reference to Death Star 2 (in Tonnika Sisters tale), which uniquely connects information from Shadows of the Empire and the ROTJ.

Still such a great episode...it had everything: comedic relief--especially old Cory and old Shawn; real coming of age emotions--what it means to both actually like someone and then legitimately miss someone after that person is gone; great in-class moments, and Turner shinning as usual!

What dining option do you love so much at WDW that you must go there even if it is in your least favorite park? For my wife, it is the 50's Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios, literally, the one and only reason she goes to this park (which I, nevertheless, love).

I really like how the Architecture line synced these New York City sets with the same taxi-cab/crosswalk theme. Now, if they can do the same with a similarly detailed Chrysler Building to accompany these two fine sets!

[# of times a BOM name is used in conference] Maybe, like most members, the GAs don't get much farther than the Books of Nephi. On a side note, keep in mind, Mormon is obviously inflated due to church's name and Nephi still beats it in the 21st C; surprised by Ether.

I found this photo cleaning up an old hard drive (taken September 2014). It should help us reflect on each Disneyland experience that we remember, especially as the two parks are ever evolving, e.g., Paradise Pier. What is your best memory of a Disneyland you remember that is no longer present?

Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, Momaw Nadon's story. I can't express how much I enjoyed this tale, specifically the Ithorian culture, harvest ceremonies, and Nadon's secret garden (pictured) on the desert world of Tatooine. The philosophy of nature described in this tale is sincere and moving.
