Welcome to the rebellion

The Rebellion is currently hiding out at QHIINC in Upland California to avoid the dark side.

Scroll down to see the various phases of America’s first Star Wars themed sales office in Upland California.


”OUR SALES OFFICE BEFORE THE TRANSFORMATION”

The walls are boring beige, and the ceiling has the common T-Bar / white look.

The Death Star will go up in the right corner of the north wall and will look amazing against the black wall, it will be illuminated with bright white LEDs, and possibly a blue outer ring glow … Its currently being built.

Next up are the two electrical outlets, and the painting … I’ve already got most of the “Very Rare”, unique memorabilia for the walls, and the wall decals by Fathead.

Time to get dirty … I will be back soon to show you the finished product, the before, during, and after painting.


These are some of the actors going up on the walls …

The office painting will happen in a week, specialized LED lighting will go into place, and an amazing mural of the death star, space, the millennium falcon, the X-wing fighters, and much, much more. more.


The History of Star Wars …

Star Wars is an iconic and immensely popular science fiction franchise that has captured the imagination of millions of fans around the world. Created by George Lucas, the original Star Wars film was released in 1977 and became a groundbreaking cultural phenomenon. It has since expanded into a vast universe of movies, TV series, books, comics, video games, and merchandise.

The Star Wars saga is set in a distant galaxy and tells the epic story of the battle between the forces of good and evil. The central conflict revolves around the Jedi, an order of mystical warriors who wield the power of the Force, and the Sith, their dark counterparts seeking dominion over the galaxy. At the heart of this struggle is the Skywalker family, particularly Anakin Skywalker, who falls to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader, and his son, Luke Skywalker, who ultimately brings balance to the Force.

Star Wars remains a cultural phenomenon that shows no signs of fading away. May the Force be with you!


Authentic Star Wars actor signatures certified by Beckett & PSA

Here are just a few of the classic Star Wars actor signatures from 1977 that I will be hanging up on the wall in America’s first Star Wars themed sales office.


The Very Rare C-3PO lighted Bust …

Nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker made C-3PO from scrap parts collected in a junkyard to help his mother Shmi around their slave hovel in Mos Espa, Tatooine. Having just met, C-3PO and R2-D2 work closely together to help perfect Anakin's Podracer which, in winning the Boonta Eve race, will earn Anakin's freedom.

McQuarrie came up with the concept design for C-3PO, a robot who was inspired by the character Maria from 1927's "Metropolis." There's a small notation in the bottom righthand corner which reads, "This one is right." It's thought that this was from George Lucas himself saying he approved of this concept sketch.

After Star Wars' unexpected, overwhelming success, the man in the gold suit found himself left behind. While the film's human stars – Hamill, Ford and Carrie Fisher – were bathed in media attention, Star Wars' publicity team seemed all too happy to let audiences forget C-3PO was not in fact a real robot.

Only 750 pieces made worldwide, and I got one of them in prestine condition. I’m sure this piece will value $10,000.00 or more in the future.


The Star Wars C3PO Lego set is a must-have for any fan of the iconic droid and the popular sci-fi franchise. This intricately designed set captures the essence of C3PO with astonishing detail and accuracy. The bright golden color of the Lego pieces perfectly mimics the iconic appearance of the character, making it instantly recognizable. With its poseable limbs and rotating head, this Lego set allows for various display options or creative play scenarios. Whether you're a seasoned Lego enthusiast or simply a Star Wars fan looking to add a bit of galactic flair to your collection, the Star Wars C3PO Lego set is sure to impress with its impressive craftsmanship and timeless charm.

Star Wars fans may not be surprised that Lego made a solid gold C-3PO in 2007. They made five, in fact, making this the rarest Lego minifigure ever. They weren't actually something you could buy when they were first produced; instead, they were part of a giveaway.


07/14/23 - Today at the Rebellion …

Today we installed two 120 Volt electrical outlets, painted two walls black with an eggshell sheen, and got to see the production of the “Death Star” that will be installed on Monday the 17th.

Next week, the medium gray walls will get painted, the ceiling will get sprayed in flat black. then we install …

1) Seven-foot Storm Trooper.
2) 3D Death Star.
3) The Millennium Falcon.
4) X-Wing
5) Tie Fighters

Then we install an opec, glass grease board outlined in medium blue led lights that will pulsate.

Lastly, the final touches get done prior to all the memorabilia going up on the wall, and C-3PO will proudly sit on his pedestal for all to admire.

Star Wars Fan? … Let’s collaborate, email me at cmoss@qhiinc.com

We can’t wait to show you the finished product.


More Painting, Death Star installation, and more - July 17th, 2023

The Death Star gets installed today, and it only took approximately 30 minutes to do, once it was measured out, centered in the perfect position, the Death Star went up on the wall, once it was turned on, “WOW”, what an amaging look!

Then I went into paint mode, and started painting the other two walls in a mediuum gray eggshell color, taped all the areas, and floor, then after two coats, it was completed.

But we did not stop there, after we painted the room, we installed the Storm Trooper, and with a little help from Shaun, we got it all sorted out.

Lastly, Sergio helped me, (He is such a good organizer), and we got it put to rest to only start up again tomorrow to install the other stickers from “Fathead”.

Tomottow, the X-Wing, Tie Fighters, the Millennium Falcom, and other stickers go up on the wall, as we create the fighting scene on the black wall in hopes to give you that famous scene where the X-Wing fighters launched a bomg down the venetilation shaft as everyone fights for their lives as they escape the fate of the Death Star, and its Tie Fighter.

Thanks for checking in … See you tomorrow 7/18/23


Autographed PSA/DNA/Beckett pictures go up on the wall …

We began hanging the actor-autographed pictures on the wall today, we still have approximately 15 more to hang, spreading them out on most of the walls.

Each one of these autographs are very unique and rare, some of the actors that filmed Star Wars in the beginning are no longer with us, and more are very old to date.

Each one of these actors has done many other movies in their careers, most of them started out young and cut their teeth on the Star Wars franchise now owned by Disney.

Starting in 1977 Star Wars has been one of the most iconic franchises to be seen by many generations, I’m guessing, it will never die out.

Disney is currently adding to the Star Wars franchise by adding a new era of greatness - Actress Zoe Saldaña plays an amazing character as Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars Animated Series.


C3PO Has Arrived - 07/20/2023

Today is an exciting day for me because our C3PO has arrived at QHIINC in Upland California.

C3PO is an iconic character from Star Wars that will “Always” be a remembered icon because of his looks, hilarious comments, and the fact that he is part of one of the world’s most “watched” space franchises ever.

As I was un-boxing him, I got super excited, only to get more excited when he came out of the original box that he was placed in by Sideshow Collectibles back in 2011.

With only 750 of these masterpieces ever made on the planet, I’m now the proud owner of one of them - The C3PO 1:1 Bust.

Here is a little funny for you … The word got out that I now possess one of these, and was already offered $50,000.00 for it. I kindly declined, and told him, “No, but for $100,000.00 - I might consider selling it. 🥳🎉👍

Star Wars is blasting straight ahead in the new year with a heavily-modified YT-1300 freighter full of new content planned.

1) The Bad Batch - 2023
2) The Mandalorian - 2023
3) Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - 2023
4) Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures
5) Star Wars: Visions - 2023
6) Star Wars: Ahsoka
7) Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Stay tuned as I proudly display the C3PO 1:1 Bust in America’s first Star Wars Themed sales office in Upland California.


The Ceiling has been painted Flat Black - 07/21/2023

Yes sir, … Special Thanks to Andrew Ayala for sending over one of his working associates to paint the Star Wars Ceiling today, it was almost last minute, but he helped me bring this part of the project to the finish line.

The flat black paint will give this room a spectacular space look when entering, the glow-in-the-dark stars with their galactic feeling will truly enhance the experience.

We also shot the HVAC feed and return vents to keep the space look in the office, which all will appreciate once the stars have been added.

We used the Bear Flat Black instead of an eggshell feel, this is because I wanted the space look to flatten out as the admirer enters the room, and I thought that if we used eggshell, it would lighten up a little more than normal, I want it to feel “distant” as you gaze into the galaxy.

Stay Tuned as we add the galaxy stars to the room next week, and then place C3PO up on his pedestal to finish the final creation of America’s very first Star Wars themed sales department in Upland California.

Gotta run to get the paint from under my fingernails now 🤣

Thanks for being part of this amazing transformation!
