Nice booper first off as with most I was a star wars lover growing up I think the first thing I remember off it was my 6th I want to say 6th christmas in which my parents got me both a power of the force x-wing and tie fighter along with pilot luke and stormtrooper and a copy of star wars a new hope on VHS, the gold box one if I remember loved that tape.

Anyway just got a Nerf first order stormtrooper blaster a few days ago will grab a photo and its pretty awesome I would recommend it to anyone for some foam dart shooting fun, looks the part too!

Anyway as for my most recent star wars add it would be:

And we all know why stormtroopers can't hit anything too:

Otherwise waiting on a SHfiguarts First Order Stormtrooper after christmas to come, and the movie too but I won't see it until a few days after it comes out so no spoilers geekhack

Ohh also anyone else opening the Lego star wars advent calendar this year, just got a star destroyer today 

PS: I hope nubbs win's because he had a idea for a ewok keycap like 5 months ago in the clack thread so hopefully he gets one

I totally forgot about my high AF Ewok comment fur the 420 se. Edit: My phone always does fur instead of for.  It's annoying.  I think it fits in this case though.

I still love that nendoroid, it's so cute.

And the First Order Stormtroopers are just awesome looking.  That SHfiguarts one looks damn cool.  I got one of the Black Series ones from Comic-Con, but haven't been able to bring myself to actually open it.

Always loved the armor in Star Wars (clone's, Stormtrooper's, Mandalorians, etc.)  Hoping when Star Wars Battlefront is finished it will include clone troopers.

Looking forward to the movie.  Unfortunately will not be able to see the movie when it comes out as my ROTC battalion is having a branching ceremony. Sir, seriously?  Star Wars > Branching ceremony but whatever.

Caps look awesome Booper, thanks for the giveaway.

[t347]

Thanks for the giveaway Booper!

I was a kid when Episode III was coming out, and in the lead up to its release I could not get enough Star Wars.  I insisted that my room be repainted and become space themed.  I pre-ordered Lego Star Wars and played it non-stop for weeks until I beat the whole thing.  It was one of the first games I ever beat!

My Star Wars love was so prolific that a few years later my aunt wanted to buy me a Star Wars themed present.  Only she messed it up, she bought me Star Trek monopoly instead of Star Wars.  She died a month after that and to this day I refuse to get rid of the game-- even though it was the wrong one.

[IMBoddy]

My best memory is my dad taking me to go see all three original star wars movies in theaters. It was one of my best memories as I was so amazed by the effects and the story it pushed me along the path I am today, a huge computer building IT nerd. (And I love it!)

I feel pretty sad to say this, but I only just watched 4, 5 and 6, 3 years ago during a movie marathon with some friends. It was pretty fun to watch but then everyone told me not to watch parts of the 1, 2,3 movies.. Anyone have a say on this? I don't mind watching some movies again, I just don't know why people have said that they are boring or something.

Machete order is the way to do it. 4, 5, 2, 3, 6. Skip 1.

If you've watched 4, 5, 6, you might enjoy 2, 3. They don't have nearly the same charm as the originals, but they're fun movies if you go into them without the expectations that fans of the originals had.

Watch and form your own opinion.
The general consensus is that they're not the Star Wars everyone grew and love in the '70s and '80s. Rightfully so. I watched them and enjoyed them when they came out in theaters, but after getting older and watching the older ones time and time again, I agree with everyone that the prequels just don't capture the magic. At all.

Still, I got the Blu-ray Saga set when it released and enjoy Episodes I-III as much as I can.

It was an awesome idea. 

To make things even nerdier, I have to admit that Thrawn actually inspired some of my research and thought process in grad school.  The idea of studying a culture's art to understand the culture was fascinating to me.  I ended up doing an examination of art, artistic institutions, and politics in France for my Master's thesis and was planning on looking at the role of art in community identity, art as a tool for identity formation and idea transmission within the Polish solidarity movement, and looking to see if symbolic imagery in polling locations can impact voter behavior.  I was always fascinated by art, but I don't think I really would have started to look at it that way without those Star Wars books.

Also, Poland has, by far, the best Star Wars posters:

Whaaaat!? You have a masters? I'm learning so much about you! That's really awesome. It's really cool that you can track a lot of your creativity back to Star Wars. I found a lot of inspiration from it too when I was younger! It opened me up to the possibilities of all kinds of life outside our planet and really expanded my little kid brain. Not quite to the same extent as you though!

Now I want to participate!

Here is some of my Star Wars stuff! I used to have a Han life-size cut out too, but he didn't make it through my last move :(

I like Twi'leks. I have been wishing for a prominent male twi'lek character in The Force Awakens that I would costume as but I have not seen any twi'lek at all in any picture from the movie.
I have build a basic support structure out of styrene that I have heated and bent so it fits my head. The male twi'lelk skull (or at least the one of Bib Fortuna) is a bit simpler than the females' in that the skull is largely cone-shaped with conical lekku straight on the sides of it, so I think it should be relatively simple to make. The difficult parts would be the seam between the fake skull an my real skin.

Otherwise, to show off ... I usually post this image. I'm the guy in orange. It is no montage: it was shot at Finse, Norway where the outdoor scenes for Hoth in the Empire Strikes Back were shot.


I would never get a tattoo, but I know several people with quite large or many Star Wars tattoos. One guy got several actors to autograph his skin - which he got made permanent by a tattooist.

my entry is just a memory involving the nintendo 64 games

My bro is about 10+ years older than me and so there wasn't a whole lot growing up that we could share an interest in. I remember when we first got the n64 (my first time ever really playing video games) and I ended up loving it. Turns out my bro was a big fan too. So it was cool having something in common with him. Anyways, I just remember watching him play Star Wars and just thinking he was really cool (and when he was done playing I would try the levels too and always mess up). It was super cool when we got the pod racer game cause I was a bit older and I could actually have a chance at beating him. Honestly, if it weren't for the video games I probably wouldn't even care about Star Wars at all (saw the movies pretty young and didn't really feel impacted by them) but it was the games and being able to actually do some of that stuff and explore etc that really kept me interested.

[ccarlitos2]

So I was going to write a Doctor Who and Star Wars crossover fanfiction in the middle of the clone wars, but work has been super hectic and i know have to pick up a 12 hour shift tomorrow at work so I won't be able to dedicate the necessary time to write a good fic. I might post it later to this thread, but it won't be posted until well after Monday. Instead I'm just gonna wish everyone a great time watching the Force Awakens and ask how people are prepping for the movie!! Thank you for this giveaway Booper!

I'll be marathoning the movies and the clone wars/Rebels cartoons starting tuesday. I'm going in a modified machete order of IV, Rebels Cartoon, V, I, II, Clone wars Cartoon, III, VI. Tuesday, Dec 15th one of my favorite restaurants is having a Star Wars Trivia and Costume contest with special Star Wars cocktails that I'm super pumped to drink!!!

Wow, so much goodness in this thread. I had tears just reading about jokrik and Nub’s post. And so near the Force Awakens! Growing up I have none of these awesome toys, coming from a family that doesn’t have a lot of income. I normally play with my friends Star Wars toys. When I finally own a PC, I finally get to immerse in Star Wars universe - played the heck out of X Wing vs Tie Fighters, Bioware’s Star Wars RPG, that FPS game  which I’ve forgotten the name of. Most of the star wars stuff I own are software. But it was truly great to read some of your stories. Keep it coming!!

[Belfong]

Have you all seen this?
You probably have. It's old. But worth revisiting.

I'm not trying to enter the competition, it wouldn't be fair. I had to register though to say that those look absolutely amazing. Soo well done!

I have a memory of watching a new hope for the first time. Before watching it what I knew of star wars was the prequels. I found them not at all interesting and that was my view of star wars. The idea behind them seemed interesting but I don't think they are anything like the original trilogy. This is obviously not a new opinion, but they gave me no interest or enthusiasm for the universe.
This was changed forever when I watched a new hope. This was a time when I bought a lot of VHS's in random assortments of 4 for £1. This was one of my favourite things to do as I had ready access to a lot of movies for cheap and although they were on VHS they were ok to me. So one time 1 of those 4 was a new hope. After watching it I was dumbfounded as it was excellent and completely contrary to the star wars I knew. Finally I felt like I understood star wars and how good it was. It was a true revelation. It was one of my favourite watching experiences ever. Although I have never seen it in the cinema I cherish the memory of seeing it for that first time.


Now I have a nice collection of fan edits remasters and a whole assortment of different editions and I absolutely love star wars.

[xondat]

I always loved the series when I was younger but grew out of it, still excited for the 22nd (which is when I see it).

The detail in that cap is INSANE. Great work.

One does not simply grow out of Star Wars.
