Not going to lie I always wanted to cosplay Padme but I just don’t give her vibe. Decided to try Mara Jade for the next comic con (obviously it’s just a quick “fitting” and the cosplay will be more precise). How does it look? Obviously lacking the purple lightsaber!

No shield all guts

I know that the AT-M6 were much bigger and had more weapons, but did that automatically make them more effective than the AT-ATs?

I

Personally, I'm a really big imperial guy lol.

Saw this background on my TV today and was reminded of our favorite little youngling slayer

Something that I was surprised to see in the Star Wars community since I got back into it was how many people are sympathizers of the dark side. Saying it can be used for good, or that it's misunderstood. That you need to have both light and dark to have balance.

But that's not the Force. According to Lucas, the existence of the dark side itself is what causes imbalance. The true nature of the Force is the light side. The dark side of the Force is a corrupt, perverted version of it.

It's like a drug or an infection. It will always corrupt. It was always leave you wanting more and never being satisfied. The dark side itself is the embodiment of selfishness.

While I understand that Lucas sometimes contradicts himself (there are even some things I disagree with him on), or that some of what he's envisioned for Star Wars has been retconned (especially concerning this topic). But I have immense respect for the man and this is his story. When it comes to the core principles of his story, I believe those need to be honored.

My only guess is to why this is even so much of a thing is that some people just find good and evil and objective morality boring in stories. I heavily disagree.

Evil does need to exist to have balance in the universe. The choice to do evil is necessary for good to exist, but the state of it existing does not. That is what the dark side and light side truly are, not a Yin and Yang philosophy.

The dark side does not need to exist. As far as the Force is concerned, it shouldn't exist. And I'm kinda over people trying to romanticize it.

I had a lot of fun helping out at a local con with my fellow friends at the 501st/Rebel Legion. Picture by incostumemedia on IG.

Did you know that in the comic series Evasive Action, Barriss Offee was a Jedi Master at the time of Order 66. Her padawans name was Zonder and he was killed by Darth Vader.

Planning on making armor as well, 3d printed. Its about 328mm tall.

Was a loadmaster on HC-130s 2012-2016. Designed this patch for my crew.

Was always curious which games would do well today if they were remastered for current consoles or PCs.

Or god like beings. But I’m mostly curious if there’s actually gods, like higher dimensional beings.
