MayThe4thSG @ Gardens By The Bay 4th May 2024

When I read the Gardens By The Bay was celebrating MayThe4thSG with a special Garden Rhapsody Star Wars edition, I wanted to visit again. It’s really special watching the light show display at the Supertree Grove, playing a melody of iconic Star Wars soundtracks that we Star Wars fans grew up listening to.

Here’s a short clip of some of the iconic Star Wars soundtracks that were part of the Garden Rhapsody Star Wars Edition at Supertree Grove. Watching the Star Wars light show display, listening to the soundtracks, it’s kind of nostalgic, and it’s really a nice light show display!

After the Garden Rhapsody Star Wars Edition at Supertree Grove, some Star Wars fans stayed back, dressed in their Star Wars attire and lightsabers, posing and taking photos/videos of them with their lightsabers in action. 

MayThe4thSG @ Science Centre 5th May 2024

On Sunday 5th May, I went down to MayThe4thSG community celebration at Science Centre. From anything relating to Star Wars, from Star Wars artworks, Star Wars toys, Star Wars cosplay, 501st Legion – Singapore Garrison, lightsaber related stuff, toy photography exhibition by Plastic Singapore where my friend AikWee has some of this Star Wars toy photography works on display and for sale too!

With Isaac taking back his lightsaber from AikWee, I just have to get Isaac and AikWee to replicate some Star Wars scenes together! 

Return to Star Wars LEGO Photography

MayThe4thSG 2024 also marks my return to Star Wars LEGO Photography! My Star Wars LEGO toy photography took a hiatus. With the addition of a used Star Wars LEGO 75054 AT-AT into my collection, I am now ready to make a return to Star Wars LEGO Photography!

From the photo above, you would have guess which Star Wars scene that I am replicating with my LEGO Star Wars – Star Wars V – The Empire Strikes Back (Battle of Hoth scene). Other Star Wars scenes that I am looking to replicate are Rogue One and Star Wars VI – The Return of the Jedi (Battle of Endor). 

I also have other plans on creative fictional toy artworks on a LEGO airport scene with Star Wars all-terrain vehicles and starships, together with those machine and vehicles you see at an airport. Another idea would be AT-AT and AT-ST patrolling cities/neighbourhoods. 

Let’s see where my return to Star Wars LEGO photography is going to being this time round! Stay tuned to my social media channels for more updates!

Happy Star Wars Day 2024!

Happy Star Wars Day 2024 to all Star Wars fans! May The Force Be With You!

This is also the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars V – The Empire Strikes Back that was released in 1980, probably the fan’s favourite Star Wars from the Star Wars Trilogy. Personally, the Battle of Hoth movie scene from The Empire Strikes Back, is one of my favourite Star Wars scenes. I previously wanted to replicate this scene with my Lego Star Wars collection, however, this scene requires a lot more Star Wars Lego sets and Lego mini figures especially the Snowtroopers and Rebel Alliance!

Therefore, I decided to bring out my current collection of Star Wars Lego, created a small setup on my bed, of the Battle of Hoth scene from The Empire Strikes Back, shot with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II mirrorless camera that I am currently reviewing. While it can’t be compared to the big projects done by hardcore Star Wars fans, nevertheless, I enjoyed my fun toy photography time with my Star Wars Lego again using my Canon digital cameras!

Since I am doing a special theme of Star Wars Lego toy photography with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II, let’s create some my own Star Wars stories/scenes from my Lego collection.

In this period of the extended circuit breaker, this toy photography with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II brought fun and joy in the midst of restrictions, stress and pressure arising from the Covid-19 situation. Do keep a lookout for my Canon EOS M6 Mark II review article!

May the Force be with You on May the 4th 2020. take care and be safe, in time to come, our life would slowly get back to normal soon when the extended circuit breaker is lifted.

A New Hope awaits all of us.

May 4^th, 2017 falls on a Thursday, with Gardens By The Bay turning into a Star Wars festival ground, ending off with the Star Wars run on 6^th May 2017. While I didn’t participate in the Star Wars run, I visited Star Wars Day 2017 on May 4^th and 5^th at Gardens By The Bay, the SuperTree Grove at Gardens By The Bay turning into a Star Wars festival ground.

At the SuperTree Grove, there were booths showcasing Star Wars merchandise/toys for sale, memorabilia, charity photo booth, photography taking opportunities with Star Wars characters, the Star Wars AT-ST Walker making a guest appearance and getting a lot of fanfare! The charity photo booth was managed by fellow photographer friend Ted Chen Photography, a hardcore Star Wars fan, it was great catching up with Ted for a short time during my visit to Star Wars Day 2017 on May 4^th.

In the night, the SuperTree Grove transformed into a magical night of lights and music display, presenting Garden Rhapsody: Star Wars edition. For the Star Wars fans, we all love this Garden Rhapsody: Star Wars edition! The SuperTree Grove became SaberTrees, shining high above into the Marina Bay skyline for three nights during Star Wars Day 2017 in Singapore from May 4^th to May 6^th. This was a magnificent sight for Star Wars fans as well as photographers, watching it from the grounds of Gardens By The Bay or from the Marina Bay Sands hotel linkway bridge to Gardens By The Bay.

Star Wars Day 2017 was really nice, with the bigger event space at SuperTree Grove, the Star Wars AT-ST Walker making an appearance and the SaberTrees shining high and bright into the Marina Bay skyline. They were some of the highlights that made Star Wars Day 2017 much more special and memorable! I hope that they can continue with it in Star Wars Day 2018!

Wishing all fellow Star Wars fans, May the 4^th Be With You, Always! Looking forward to Star Wars VIII – The Last Jedi on 15th December 2017!

May the 4th Be With You, Always! Attending May the 4th Be With You events in Singapore, it’s like making a pilgrimage to the world of Star Wars and where Star Wars fans gather together to celebrate everything Star Wars. Celebrate the Force with Star Wars Singapore! For the year 2015, Star Wars day in Singapore was held at Suntec City on 2nd and 3rd May 2015. I went on Saturday, 2nd May 2015 to soak in the atmosphere, admiring the various Star Wars toys on display and wondering which Star Wars Lego toy to buy next!

Looking at some of the artworks and photographs of Star Wars Lego/figurines in action, I was motivated to re-ignite my Star Wars Lego scenes conceptualisation and planning. Time to go back to my drawing board and plan my next few Star Wars Lego scenes projects!

The year 2015 is going to be a very exciting and highly anticipated year for Star Wars fans, with the Star Wars VII coming in December 2015! I am sure many of us Star Wars fans are very excited and looking forward to it!

For all Star Wars fans, May The Force Be With You, Always!
