I also have built/converted a few lightsabers, and currently have Jedi Robes, X-Wing costume, Royal Guard, Stormtrooper and Sandtrooper costumes, and TIE Pilot costumes. My next costumes will be a Rebel Fleet Trooper and Imperial Officer. Other than Star Wars I am interested in Nelson DeMille Novels, Computers, traveling, and flying planes.

    oo fun!

    Name: Victoria
    Age: 20
    Location: Riverside
    SW Related Interests: Wookiees, Smugglers and Jedi....lol, more specifically I love the costumeing aspects. Currently working on my first Star Wars related ones. I'm just at the tip of the iceberg for enveloping myself in SW literature. But its an endeavor I know I'll enjoy!
    Non-SW Related Interests: acting, reading, role-playing, and school....yes school, yay school! HP and LOTR of course :)
    How did you get started on SW: I got started rather slowly. I've always had so many interests, its hard to keep up with them. Batman has always been a big thing for me, as has Star Wars, but its only gotten to take the lead in the past year or so. I've always loved Han and Obi-Wan, and started getting some SW related novels during high school, having fun in SW RPG's from time to time....I've got fond memories of lightsabers and band during all four years of high school, lol. My parents enjoy the movies and we would always watch them, and I loved listening to my Mom talk about when she first saw all the films....though I never got to see it in theaters when I was little because I was a handful in movie theaters. My older sis got to go though *pout*.
    But over this past year I have met sooooo many wonderful people insanely in love with Star Wars, costuming and the like, that I've gotten swept up in the fun and am running full speed with it!

    Age: 28 (Yeah, I'm an old guy)
    Location: Rancho Cucamonga
    SW Related Interests: The Imperial Guard. There's a statement about being in red, silent, and carrying a stick that says "I'm bad. If you stare at me, I'll smack you down with this stick." Actually, I'd like to learn how to make an Imperial Guard costume since the costuming thing has recently piqued my interest.
    Non-SW Related Interests: Anime, manga, reading, and other esoteric stuff.
    How did you get started on SW: Well, traveling back when I was a boy; my parents purchased many SW toys for my amusement in the late 70's and early 80's. Mostly the action figures, Millenium Falcon, Darth Vader's chamber, the miniature sets(Hoth, Bespin), a lightsaber, and a blaster. I still have them since they afforded me many priceless memories. I'm quite my parents took me to the theater to see the movies, but I simply cannot recall this.

    In regards to the novels; I greatly enjoy those novels authored by Zahn(Thrawn Trilogy, Hand of Thrawn Duology), Stackpole(X-wing), Young Han Solo Trilogy (author?), the character development was very well thought out since you really see things from their perspective. I didn't care much for the Anderson novels since he has this tendency to overuse the superweapon idea.

    SW Related Interests: Obi-Wan. He's so dreamy.... er... I mean... the Ewoks! Yeah, I love the Ewoks, they're so cool... ;) (Seriousness, I love writing fan fiction, especially about the early Jedi Knights.)
    Non-SW Related Interests: Sad to say, I love Lord of the Rings more than Star Wars. I know, go ahead and put me in the stocks right now. :p I also love Harry Potter.
    How did you get started on SW: I grew up watching it and never knew what it was. For as far as I could tell, I was watching "Another live-action Carebear movie" (RotJ) :p

    SW Related Interests: Well of course the Movies! ALL OF THEM! Sometimes I actually wonder if I'm a true SW fan because I liked Episode I and II. I love the books Especially the New Jedi Order! Its some of the best SW books I've ever read. I try to play all the SW Video games I can get my hands on and I love SW RPGing.
    Non-SW Related Interests: Almost anything. I love the Alien movies...and the Predator Movies...I love most Marvel Comics and I'm into Star Trek as well. I also love music...most of it anyway. I love Family Guy and all the View Askew movies. Simpsons, South Park, and Futurama. I also Play the guitar and sing. I'm also really into costume making! I just made my first costume...complete sucess and I CAN'T WAIT to get started on my next one!

    And that's about it!

    Hi,
    My name is Sandy Deacon MILLFAL74

    I am 48 and the mother of 4 and grandmother of 8.

    I live in Fontana, CA. Not far from the Calif. Speedway.

    My kids range in age from Will, 27, Shelly, 24, Chrissy, 17, and Brittany, 11. The grandchildren range in age from 8 years to 7 months old. And they are all Star Wars fans.

    SW RELATED INTERESTS; They include belonging to the group Road Squadron because of the car I have which is called the Millennium Falcon. And I collect anything that has Star Wars on it. I have been a big fan since I was 21 back in 1977 when I was pregnant with my first child. My hope is to meet other SW fans that live in the Inland Empire, and in other counties.
    I want to make costumes for myself and my husband so when we go to Celebration III, we will drive the Millennium Falcon to the convention and we will be dressed as Princess Leia and Han Solo. But I need help in the making of the costumes and have wanted to meet other SW fans that could help me in doing this.

    NON SW INTERESTS: I am a advid NASCAR and NHRA fan and attend all the local races. I drag race the Millennium Falcon at local tracks, but not recently because I needed to install a new hyperdrive, which we did in May 2004 but I don't have the new hyperdrive broke in yet so I can't drag race it until I get a few more miles on it. I also attend local car shows with her and won a trophy with her back in Sept.of this year. I display the car with lots of Star Wars stuff in it. I love gardening and cooking. I belong to a car club called Golden West Chevelles and El Caminos.

    I attended Comic-Con for the first time and had ball meeting and getting autographs from several of the Star Wars stars. They were all so very nice. I have some nice pictures and video from it. My hope is to attend the Celebration III next April.
    I hope I can make some new Star Wars friends and attend some functions with some of you. This would be such a special treat to talk Star Wars with other people who love Star Wars as much as myself. I can't wait until Episode III comes out. I loved the teaser trailer, it gave me goosebumps. Well I will close this out now. I would love to hear from you all.
    Thank you for letting me share my story. My e-mail address is a74chevelle@msn.com.
