Hello from the GTA!

[SamiWanKenobi (Samantha)]

Hi new RL friends!!

I'm Samantha, an anxious bean. My favourite song from the soundtracks is "Across the Stars", and I love porgs!

My earliest exposure to Star Wars was as a wee lass when my older cousin showed up with a Taco Bell cup that had Queen Amidala on it. I thought she was the absolute height of coolness, and he let me keep the cup... even though I didn't actually end up watching the movies until just last spring (yes, you can judge me, I judge myself, it's fine).

As my first RL build, I'm currently working on Jakku Rey with plans for a "blue linen dress" Padmé in the near future to have a backup, since I know Rey is such a popular gal.

Cosplay is one of my passions, and so is helping people. The ability to combine the two is such a privilege. The Rebel Legion and 501st have been on my radar for many years; I love what you do for charities. I've been lucky enough to be able to work with the Doctor Who Society of Canada at some events, so to branch out and spread the love around in a galaxy far far away as well would be a real treat.

I look immensely forward to completing my first costume, getting approved (I hope!!), and being able to troop with all of you once conventions return from the war. -wistful sigh-

May the Force be with you!

Hi Samantha,

That's wonderful, we always welcome new scavengers and senators. There's no rush, take your time with your costume. We're always around to help if you have questions. Not much is going on right now so it's the perfect time to get your costume ready.

Good luck and MTFBWY!

Darren
