Hey, I'm Kerys from Chattanooga. I've been going to dragon*con for the last few years, and I've been aware of the 501st & RL for a few more years than that. This past D*C I ended up rooming with friends from starwarsaddiction.com, they also happened to all be members of Vader's Fist. After hanging with them all weekend & meeting David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Jeremy Bulloch, & Albin Johnson (& getting a frontrow view of Ray Park performing an awesome Darth Maul signature spinning flip thing)... well, I'm pretty psyched & interested in gettting some costumes together. While I'll probably eventually join my friends in the 501st, I'm a good guy at heart and I have a nearly complete Jedi costume already (lacking only my incomplete saber).

Do you guys have many people active in Chattanooga? And does anyone do staged saber duels? I used to be in a theatrical combat company and I surely do miss it...

Welcome! Check out the tutorials on our main website but, for sabers, the best place is the forums here if you need any help.

Orion is in Chattanooga and, if I remember correctly, Saber Idol premiered at a con there....check out the Southern Order forum. There are lots of Jedi in TN.

Hi Kerys,

I'm your "neighbor" in Atlanta and glad to see you here.

Some of the Georgia folks come up to Chattanooga for stuff. Orion and Xanus are both in the Chattanooga area, so check out the "Southern Order" section. Saber Idol will be at Conooga at the Choo-Choo in February or March... can't remember at the moment so do check the Southern Order forum.

A belated "welcome", and we look forward to seeing your costume!
