Something for the Weekend — Part 196 — Keep Rolling!

[jane-e]

Hi

Thank you to Dave for allowing me host this week with a photo I took a few weeks ago at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. This is BB-8, the hero droid who aided the Resistance in several Star Wars movies. What will you do with him? Send him to another battle? Or is he ready for some R&R?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to emphasize this, but the image is not for use elsewhere.

To download the image below, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right.

Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

BB-8 has some R&R at the pub

[jane-e]

He might get knocked about while he's relaxing Euan! Very clever, and you were quick!

I'm not sure that Be-Be-8 will fit in the pool table pockets Euan, so it could be a long game. 

[EuanWilliamson]

Correct !   and that's why I'll win since I'm playing the solids 😉

[Suzanne Mathia]

great concept Euan

[davescm]

A clever start Euan !

Too late.

Nice one Jane.  I hope people will respect that droids are for life, and not just for Christmas.  This little fellow has feelings, so let's try not to hurt them.

[jane-e]

Thank you Trevor!

I think BB-8 has found his sport. BB-8 goes bowling.

[davescm]

If he leans over and uses his head he is almost guaranteed a strike (and a headache) !

Dave

[jane-e]

Rumor has it that he scores a perfect 300 in every game!

This was my first thought but then I decided to do something different. Good thing since you beat me to it. (Nice job.)

I believe this is the first occurrence of the actual SFTW question, in its original context.

[Suzanne Mathia]

Off to battle, bur first he must pass through TSA full body scan as all robots must

[jane-e]

TSA may have found some metal parts that needed further examination — very clever!

Jane

[Suzanne Mathia]

thanks. lots of fun

[davescm]

That is clever smathia - and very nicely done 🙂

Dave

@jane-e Thanks for putting up your challenge for this weeks SFTW challenge in my absence. It's a great starter image and I'll take part as soon as I get settled back in.

Cheers

Dave
