Hi all. I'm actually fairly new to this whole world and had only heard of the 501st in passing.
It turns out I work with a legion member and had my arm twisted into wearing his Jawa for "a short film thing we're doing tonight, and you look the right height". Well, a few hours later and I was hooked. After talking with him and Jag, the 501st certainly appeal to me on many levels. The more I look into what the 501st do, the more I want to become involved.
We did the short film which aired before the premiere earlier in the month, and I took the opportunity to wear the Jawa again. The buzz from taking photos with the kids and adults alike was just intoxicating!
So here I am I guess. I'm currently working on convincing the Mrs. to let me start building a costume, we shall see how far that goes in the next few months. In the meantime, research and reading!
Cheers,
Paradoxic Domino (Ben)
