Every time I wear my Jedi gear and see a childs eyes light up it makes me feel great! I know I just gave that kid a special expierence I know exactly what you mean, Himiko. Like this one time a few weeks after Celebration 3, I was standing in line at a local Wal-mart waiting to check out my items, and this little boy about 6 or 7 years old kept staring at me. I just nodded and smiled at him. Well he turns to his mother and he started whispering and pointing at me. So she turns to me and says, "Excuse me, but do you mind if my son asks you a quick question?" And I shrugged and said, "Sure". So the little boy puts his hand on his hips and says, "What do you think you are doing here?" And I said, "I'm just shopping" And he replies, "But I saw you a few days ago, Master Windu, and I don't know why your dressed like this". And I looked up at his mother, and she said we saw you a few weeks ago at Celebration 3 and he begged me to take a picture of you, but he didn't want to go up to you himself, because Mace is his favorite Jedi and he was a little nervous". Well I laughed and knelt down to the little boy and said, "I'm still Mace, but this is the only way I can get my shopping done, when I'm in disguise." Then I winked at him and he winked back and shook my hand. So it's great that we all do these things for children, like when we go to hospitals or elementary schools or cheer them on during the Special Olympics, it's something that they will remember and take with them always. It's like if the real actors and actresses can't come out of the movie screen for them, then we're all just the next best thing. |

You look like a younger version of Mace.

You know a lot of people in my local star wars group tells me that, I am now starting to believe it, which is why I am now in the process of writing a fan fic story with hopes that it will be turned into a fan film and it's about Mace Windu when he was younger, like 20 or 30 years before Episode 1.

while we were in disney I had 2 girls my age running behind me trying to catch up. when they did they asked for a picture - of course I agreed and went to stand between them but the one girl threw her arm around my waist keeping me from moving. this was so that 2 MORE girls could jump in the picture on my other side. it was hilareous - can't wait to put the pic up for you all lol. the best thing is that there's no age limit - it brings joy to EVERYONE to see someone as if they just walked off of the movie screen. 10-60, no matter what age it's fun to get your picture taken with someone in a strange costume. or, as I found personally - to take a picture of them from a distance lol. I was looking around for anyone else in costume and had to do a double take because some woman and her kids were recording me with a video camera around 30 yards away. when I looked back they all started waving at me and I couldn't help but laugh and wave back.
