As a lifelong Star Wars fan and in anticipation of the new movie, I made an Ewok keycap! To debut it, I figured I'd do a giveaway to get my Christmas Spirit flowing!
Rules are simple... just nerd out on Star Wars! Post artwork, fan fiction, Star Wars related memories... whatever! I only require that whatever you post is your original work.
On Monday at noon (central), I'll pick a winner and send out a keywok! :D

Ok I'll share one thing. I've been holding on to this shoe box full of old Wizards movie cards. They aren't the best quality card but still fun. Yesterday after school we sat down and opened up enough packs to complete a full set of cards. The rest we will be handing out at the movie theater we go to.

As for Star Wars memories...truthfully the biggest impact Star Wars had on my life was probably opening up the world of film to me. It got me into watching movies, reading about movies, learning about the film process and generally appreciating film as an art form.
Once again, great work on the caps! They look fantastic :thumb:

Then one Christmas an uncle of mine, who is a HUGE fan, gave me a gift card to Best Buy. This was the year the DVDs released. So...what? 2004? I saw this as an opportunity to honor his gift and got the DVD set. When I watched all of them is when I was hooked. I forced my family down to watch them with me. I bought the little figures to decorate my dorm room. I geeked out with my roommates about Episode III until we all finally went to go watch it together.
The original Cartoon Network Clone Wars also came out around the same time and I bought them on DVD, the sets of which I still have to this day.
For months I mercilessly forced friends and family to play no other Monopoly version than the Star Wars Saga edition.
Years later, like everyone else, I'm still a fan (shoot, I was watching the first before I paused to check this). I even had the main theme played at our wedding when we exited the church.
I got tickets for the digital version--not 3D, thank you very much--for The Force Awakens the day they were available, and my daughter even knows the correct quotation: "No, I am your father."
I love Star Wars. Even though Edward Scissorhands is my favorite film, Star Wars comes in close second and is easily my favorite franchise.
I love Star Wars.
Sorry for the long post. I'm a little tipsy so I had to go back and edit. A lot.
Also forgot to mention that I even auditioned for this film a couple of years ago. I obviously didn't make it.
But...I love Star Wars?

LOL! I enjoyed that
Big star wars fan here, I don't have a "collection" or anything but I enjoy the series. Before my dad and brother passed away we used to watch the movies alot. My brother let me skip school to go see The Phantom Menace when it came out.
I'm also a Storm Trooper nerd (og storm trooper>the new one)
Couldn't find an OG helmet so had to settleShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/41fJwXX.jpg)
Cute shirt too! I'll have to post my modest collection at the end of this!
(http://i.imgur.com/prVyKe0.jpg)
Wow, so much I could share, from my childhood, to my collection of 90/2000s toy collection or all of my collector series Lego pieces. But that is not the best story or thing I have to share. I have two boys 8 and 5 and this will be their Star Wars moment. They have watched the movies, and the cartoons, they like the old movies. They don't love them. But they are genuinely excited for next week. They get to see Star Wars in the theater for the first time in their lives. (I am really hoping they want to watch the old movies again after going and seeing the new one) I get to geek out with them over this. They have been asking questions galore over the last few weeks, they are more excited about marking off the calendar for next Thursday rather before opening their Star Wars Lego Advent calendar. It's exciting. I am a happy dad.
Ok I'll share one thing. I've been holding on to this shoe box full of old Wizards movie cards. They aren't the best quality card but still fun.

Ah, I love this! The idea of being able to share something like that with fresh and eager little minds is heartwarming! Enjoy it man. One day they will be nerding out over Star Wars too!
My boy right here:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/HZhin7i.gif)
*heart melts*
He sits there alone, his shoulders hunched as he rereads the script hes read hundreds of times. A half empty bottle of Jack Daniels on the table, a haze of smoke from the cigarettes burning in the ashtray. George Lucas stares at the script for the Phantom Menace. A single tear falls down as he remembers the cries of a million nerds scream in a rage at his work. How was he suppose to know that the fans would hate the prequels? His life work was forever tainted by this single decision to make another movie after he had made such a critically acclaimed series. Now he had been approached to make another trilogy.... Why? He takes another swig from his bottle and settles back down in his chair, eyes gazing towards the ceiling. He loved the franchise but he was too burnt from everything to continue his work, the task was too great to make another trilogy that would satisfy the fans. Lucas's eyes dart down towards the script as he lights another Dunhill cigarette, the sweet taste of it calming his nerves. He glances over at his collection of awards as he sighs, realizing the folly of his ways. There's no way out.
Suddenly his phone rings, he looks down at the screen. Its a blocked number.
TO BE CONTINUED
HA! Well done! Got a good laugh out of that.

My jaw remain dropped for the rest of the movie and I swore when I got older that I was going to be Luke Skywalker because he could stop all of the bad guys and then my dad could stay home forever. It legitimately holds a special place in my heart to this day.
Thanks for doing this, Booper. The craftsmanship in these keys is impeccable.

So that's my Christmas related Star Wars story.
Post by: MustacheRabbit on Thu, 10 December 2015, 23:28:50
Those games were what put me on the path that I am today, computer programming and whatnot. I had done some modding and skinning as a kid when I ran the server and that really got me interested in the field. I ended up going to high school and taking a graphic design course, then a game design course, then I went to college for game programming! I was living one of my childhood dreams until I realized that I didn't like the volatility of the market. I am still a software engineer, but just not working on games professionally.
Back to Star Wars though, one of my favorite creations was an invisible lightsaber for moderators to slice the entire server in one swoop. This was just in case there was a deathmatch going on instead of the normal dueling. It seems weird now to think that people would play with order and manners, but that was really what the entire community was all about back then. You engaged 1v1 in duels and practiced your lightsaber skills, combos, etc. Past that, community events were always fun too.
In terms of physical star wars things, I was able to nab a stormtrooper helmet coin bank back in 2011 from Disneyland, and I still use it. It often is a background item in any skype calls or videos I do.

At that time there were very few chat rooms, even though they were almost the only thing you could do on AOL. I was a huge fan at the time, and was plowing through the various books (Timothy Zahn trilogy FTW), so all I wanted to do was go online in the precious few minutes a week my father allowed for me to use AOL and chat Star Wars. However, there was no chat room. They had Star Trek, and if you hung out there you would occasionally see people reference the elusive "private" chat room, Star Wars.
So I would go there, and it was amazing to talk with other people around the world about my passion at the time. Usually there were 3-4 other people, but sometimes there were none. When that happened, I was sad, because it meant for those moments I was basically the only person in the entire internet at the time who wanted to chat about Star Wars. At the same time I look back, and it's fun to think I was the only Star Wars nerd online during those periods, and that amuses me.

There is one thing which remains my best decision of my life
I wanted to include a star wars theme stuff in my wedding
I didn't think my bride allow me to wear trooper costume on the wedding day, and I don't think I can opt for star wars style table arrangement
So I bought a star wars lego, a vader, a snow and storm trooper
Asked the decoration lady to make me a boutonnieres for me and my best men, and stick the lego on them
Happy days! :)

I can't help feeling disadvantaged because plenty of people are good at telling and/or creating stories and that's not one of my strengths. I will say however that this has to be one of the funniest things ever:
Also, my four year old son is already caught up in the hype surrounding the new movie. He's getting some Star Wars toys for his birthday tomorrow but I don't know if he'll recognise all of them. We watched part of "A New Hope" together a couple of nights ago. He was a bit scared but it didn't dampen his enthusiasm any. Most of the shows he normally watches are simple kids stuff where the title of the show is the name of the hero(es) and its always clear who are the goodie-guys and who are the baddie-guys, so ... I had to stifle a laugh when, during the lightsaber training scene on board the Millennium Falcon, withe Luke, Obiwan, Han, R2, and 3PO all present he asks me "which ones are the Star Wars guys?"

Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. My wife and I had two weddings, one for the families, and then we went to Jamaica and got married on the beach.

What? You had the Imperial March as your theme?!
That's the song I have set to my ringtone for whenever my dad calls. When it plays and someone hears and smirks, I simply say, "Oh, it's my father."
Wow. I never even wanted any artisan cap before I saw these.

Like most kids, I grew up loving dinosaurs. I had an encyclopedic knowledge of dinosaurs, their Latin names, what they ate, what they looked like, and so on. At some point of my childhood, that transferred to Star Wars. I was a voracious reader and the Star Wars books became my thing to read. I read every Star Wars book my library had, then I checked them out again to read them and re-immerse myself in the story lines. I fell in awe of Thrawn, came to love Mara Jade, felt sympathy for Boba Fett, and just got lost in the universe. I would fall asleep reading the Star Wars The Essential Guide to books, absorbing the universe and the lore. I still have all the guide to books from my childhood:
(http://i.imgur.com/IE8kjrE.jpg)
I fell in love with the visuals of the movies and would them again and again on VHS, even if they were the awful Special Edition. While everyone was arguing about who shot first, I decried the overuse of CG special effects, the remaking of Jabba, the addition of the silly exploding ring, and the all around over the top effects that were added that ruined the immersive experience. I remember watching Ewoks - The Battle for Endor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewoks:_The_Battle_for_Endor) whenever it was on TV and renting it from Blockbuster. I had already been amused by the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi, but Wicket won my heart. It was nothing amazing, but I still fell in love with it. Then the biggest disappointment of my life came with Star Wars Episode 1. Somehow I convinced my mom to take a 6th grade or teenage me to go see it on opening day. I was thrilled because it was Star Wars, something that was an integral part of my identity growing up. Then came the bumbling battle droids and Jar Jar Binks. I still loved Star Wars, but, gradually, George Lucas was chipping away at the awe that I had built for it.
At some point in grade school, I discovered the Star Wars CCG. I scrimped and I saved to go out and buy the cards. I rarely got to play with them since not many people played the game, but I still have all my cards in two shoe boxes to this day. Some of the highlights:
(http://i.imgur.com/8HG48lD.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/eVANbjR.jpg)
Once a month, after saving up my allowance and doing random chores to earn more money, I would hop on my bike, ride down the hill from my house, and buy as many packs as I could afford. I remember the amazingly generous comic store owner who would see the disappointment in my face when, on occasion, I'd have to put back a pack because I was a little short and give me the packs at a $0.50 or so loss. I nerded out over them so much that I did a hobby report in 6th grade on my Star Wars CCG cards. I remember writing to Decipher to get more information about the game and they sent me back a massive packet of information, handwritten notes, and just all around awesomeness. I know I have that note somewhere still.
That nerdiness stayed with me throughout college and grad school. If I had to take a flight, it was a Star Wars book I would take with me. I still check out the Star Wars books from my library whenever new ones come in. My friends in grad school noticed, hence why one of them drew this little caricature:
(http://i.imgur.com/RSn1YaXh.jpg)
And I got this bigass First Order Trooper for my birthday this year (Ewok Pez Dispenser for scale):
(http://i.imgur.com/XXlMIxe.jpg)
Anyways, that's just a small bit of my Star Wars nerdiness. Your KeyWok would just be another piece of that huge long geeked out history for me.

I loved reading this! I hope you win one, too. Part of me regrets not getting into Star Wars earlier (the earliest one I saw in theaters was AotC (though it could've been Phantom, if the girl I asked agreed)), but that's how my life developed and I'm just glad I got into it at all, and married someone who supports me in all my hobbies and interests.
BtW, I love the First Order Stormtrooper designs. Nothing can take away from the classic armor, but the sleekness of the new outfit is just darn sexy.

I've always been a fan of Lucasfilm movies, during my teens my father used to give me one box of movies (Episode IV-VI, Indiana Jones) or one Star Wars prequel each Christmas as a gift. Probably because he loved Lucasfilm movies just as much as I did (or quite possibly, it's the other way, that he was the one who sparked my interest and love of the movies) and wanted to watch them on his home cinema. So while I don't have a lot of merch (or any really), I recall all of the Star Wars movies (yes, all of them) with fondness, much because it's something I have in common with the rest of my family (my little brother who is nearing his twenties still have his Star Wars Lego's on a shelf in his room ^^).

One of my best friends cried when he watched the new trailer for the Force Awakens, if anyone deserves an Eewok, it's him. He even has a crazy ass pinball machine that his Dad bought for him on his 5th or 6th birthday.
It looks exactly like this

Believe it or not, the it actually has mech switches that look like Alps on the buttons, I'll have to get some close up pics of it when I'm over his place next.

Hey Guys!pooh oooh haha yes fan girls included boops I have some costumes I need to post haha
As a lifelong Star Wars fan and in anticipation of the new movie, I made an Ewok keycap! To debut it, I figured I'd do a giveaway to get my Christmas Spirit flowing!
Rules are simple... just nerd out on Star Wars! Post artwork, fan fiction, Star Wars related memories... whatever! I only require that whatever you post is your original work.
On Monday at noon (central), I'll pick a winner and send out a keywok! :DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/ea4nDt2.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/LiF2xFz.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/bbb9T4X.gif)

It was in 1984 (yeah it took 4 years to reach us ...), I remember it was winter and snowing and my father took me to see "The Empire Strikes Back", it's the first film I remember seeing in cinema, I was almost 5 at that time. Outside it was a blizzard and in the cinema was freezing cold but it's the best memory I have as a child.

I have Star Wars to thank for the best relationship ever! I'm not going to go with saying what Star Wars stuff i have, or what i loved about the movies... or how the expanded universe was the best thing that Disney killed (it really was), but rather, how Star Wars kickstarted the best period in my life. :) I came out of a terrible long term relationship and was only just recovering. Took to online dating and came across the profile of a beautiful lady that oddly enough asked the question "Who was your favorite star wars character?" Answered that (Vader and Boba Fett... maybe Mara Jade too), and it led to more geeking out over Star Wars and so many other things we clicked on! :D It stemmed a whirlwind courtship that has led to the best year of my life and to what I'm definitely seeing as a lifetime of love and fun! So Nikki, since I know you stalk my online profiles - I love you! I look forward to our years together :D
and little tokens of our geeking out http://i.imgur.com/rZnfSKu.jpg
For the record,my dear, I do not stalk your online profiles, I simply click the links you send me, and figure out who you are based on your use of the same name everywhere. :p Also, I asked who IS your favorite Star Wars character, and you were the only one that did not answer Dark (sic) Vader (horrors!) or Luke Skywalker or Yoda. So it became interesting to talk to you. And since you've referenced a lifetime together, I would like to make the assumption that THAT was your marriage proposal and shall now use mrsmana. ;D Love you back. And that's the only reason I made this profile ;D
And my everyday trinkets to match yours:

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 :p
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 :p

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.

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.

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!

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.

And we all know why stormtroopers can't hit anything too:
(http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j350/fire_brand15/Nendoroids%20and%20Loot/82BE703D-B049-409F-8115-4C34BB2AD656.jpg) (http://s1081.photobucket.com/user/fire_brand15/media/Nendoroids%20and%20Loot/82BE703D-B049-409F-8115-4C34BB2AD656.jpg.html)
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 :p
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 :p
I need that ahri :((

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.

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.

I would always try to wrap his head in a brown towel I had.
I always thought it was so funny because he looked so cute with it on.
He would wear it for 30 seconds before he ripped it off.
He died a couple years ago. Old age.
I'll always remember that and the time he peed on my old baseball hat. (I loved that hat)

George Lucas's eyes freeze on the phone's screen. Caller Unknown. The tune of 'The Cantina Band' echoes throughout his home as trees rustle against his window, his fireplace illuminating his trophy's and pieces. The stuffed Ewoks and Wookie's eyes seem to be watching him, ever so slowly, the mask of Vader's mangled mask seem to form a crooked smile. The room suddenly feels very cold as Lucas feels a shiver down his spine, he's not sure why but he feels uneasy. His number was known to an exclusive few and none of them would give his number out. His heart starts to race as his hand moves towards the phone, drops of sweating dripping from his face profusely. He can feel the sweat on his hand make contact with his phone as he slowly bring its up to chest. He nervously accepts the call and presses the phone against his ear, "Hello?".
No answer....
"Hello?" he repeats.
Still nothing but silence....
Suddenly he hears breathing, the heavy breathing of man. Rasping as of dry and old. Lucas feels needles in his arms as he asks "Who is this?".

The first movie I ever saw in theaters with my dad was Revenge of the Sith and I'm flying home to watch the new one with my entire family. I remember as a kid, I would find long sticks in our backyard and peel off the bark to make wooden lightsabers. I made my sister one as well and she was always a good sport about acquiring additional bruises (special tactic: go for the legs :D). Anyways, can't wait for Thursday night!!!

That being said, he's influenced me a lot with his star wars, it basically shaped me into my love for space exploration. Would love to return the favor to him.

Sadly my room is in way too much of a mess to gather my Star Wars stuff up for a photo so I'll just talk about it lol
I have things ranging from my car being white w/ Stormtrooper mats, steering wheel cover, and license plate cover, down to things like a Lego Boba Fett keychain and a napkin with Boba Fett drawn on it given to me by Nubbinator. That being said, Stormtrooper themed things I enjoy and my favorite character is Boba Fett. Ewoks are my favorite type of people. (Which reminds me I don't know where my stuffed Ewok is :|)
My main things would be my car, my backpack (which is a Boba Fett one), my computer (Stormtrooper theme), and my Stormtrooper HHKB. I have plenty of plushies and small collectables I've gathered since I was a kid.
My story is quite odd because my parents are foreign so my dad wasn't into Star Wars. My half-brother (who's like... 16 years other than me) was a young teen when he first came here but quickly learned the American culture and later passed it on to me as he was pretty much my father figure.
He got me into Star Wars and fell in love with it ever since. I even found my own VHS box set of the original trilogy which should still be at my parent's house now that I think about it >.>
Either way, I've enjoyed the series and will continue to do so.

It was really really difficult to pick winners out of this. I thoroughly enjoyed so many of your posts and pictures! When I looked back through the thread to get names for RNG, I even noticed more cool stuff that I had missed. I wish I could make a cap for like all 50 of you that participated!
But, without further ado, I'll list the winners -
Nubbinator
Jokrik
Bunnylake
Belfong
I'll PM you guys for addresses :)
Thanks again everyone for participating!

Thanks again for the awesome giveaway!

Thanks! I'm not sure yet if I want to get into selling them though. I've already had people on reddit start **** about copyright whenever I posted just doing a little giveaway. I don't want to get into all that so I'll probably save keywok for giveaways and such. :(

I'm no copywrite attorney, but, considering all the Vader and Iron Man caps out there, I don't think you'll have troubles with selling Keywoks.
But that's just me.
And my need to get m'hands on one of these amazing caps.

I just find it funny that people on Reddit are giving **** about copyright when a ton support K3 over there and they're constantly buying caps that obviously run afoul of copyright.

Yeah, it's probably best to not sell trademarked/copyrighted designs. For everyone using HolyOOPS as an example, that's still not allowed. Is Disney, Marvel, or George Lucas (actually, I suppose all are Disney now) going to hunt you down and make you stop? Most likely not. Still, for a community that supposedly cares about the intellectual property rights of artists I really hope you'd consider otherwise.
Saving these for giveaways is your best option (since I'm sure there are some rules allowing for "artistic interpretation" of trademarked/copyrighted designs for "personal use"). Don't let anyone dissuade you. These are great keycaps and I hope to see more people add them to their collections through giveaways or trades.

Haha, yea. I really don't get that either! I think it's more of a spite thing since people call out K3, K3 supporters call out everyone else about whatever they can come up with. r/mk is weird.
I don't really care that much or think I'd really get sued or anything, I just don't think I want to go down that road at all right now since I've got a couple designs these days (and blanks) so I've got plenty of other stuff to focus on if I want to do sales.
I made the keywok just because I was excited about Star Wars and thought it would be cute! To be honest, he's the biggest pain in the butt to cast though anyway because I feel like he needs all those separate shots to look his best :D
