Hi My Name is Aimee-Wan Kaboodle ...(a more official Jedi name in the works) aka Aimee LaChance. I live in the Midtown/Montrose area.
I am new to this forum thing so bear with me
My passion for all things Star Wars began when my parents took my friends and I to see Star Wars. I knew right then I wanted to be a Jedi when I grew up. That Halloween wearing my Dads white tee folded over, tan toughskins and a lightsaber made of a wrapping paper tube painted blue with silver duct tape on the hilt... I WAS Luke Sywalker. ..and that would the first of many, many Star Wars outfits to come. I love all things Star Wars especially not just the figures ( the Unleashed series has been a favorite of mine) but kewl items like the Death Star cookie Jar, my knit Yoda hat, Naboo pilots jacket..etc...
I have the makings for two different Jedi outfits, both (official) Han Solo outfits (ANH and ESB) and all the accessories. I will admit, I have not been able to get a more authentic lightsaber.. yes, most of mine are the Hasbro variety.
I met John, Chris, Jason and Brian @ Bedrock City on Washington in the Heights this past weekend..( I was in my Jedi best dressed as Quinlin Vos.) and that is how I found about this site and this group (!!) It was so great to meet everyone and talk serious Star Wars shop ! I look forward to meeting more members of the group and attending practices, going to events etc.
Thanks for the approval and May the Force be with you ![/color]
