Hi everyone, my name is Anakin Skywalker (seriously) I live in Kelowna, BC Canada. I eat, breathe, and sleep Star Wars, and it’s been my dream to have a TK number, ever since I first heard of the 501st. Weather its putting on my Star Wars adidas and Boba Fett Marc Ecko full zip hoodie on in the morning to go to work, passing my business card to a customer at the end of a measure, reading “Anakin Skywalker, Site Technician”, and getting a smile like, “are you serious?” or curling up on the the couch with my C-3P0 and R2 blanket to watch ESB for the 99,999,999,999th time, or waving my hand every time I walk up to an automatic door at the grocery store like I opened it with the force, and getting a comment from my friends or girlfriend like “nerd” or “idiot”....I think I have what it takes to wear the white armour.
I’m finally at the point in life, financially and hobby skill wise, that I’m serious to take on this project. I’ve done a lot of research about different armour types, but I’ve kinda read myself into circles, as people, do have different opinions on everything. But here’s the long and short of it all, I need some advice from my future fellow TK’s. Here’s my goal.
I’m 5’10, 160 pounds, and since I’m average height and skinny, I’m looking for the slimmest, best fitting, most ESB accurate armour money can buy, and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.
So please suggest away, I’d love to hear all you experienced TK’s thoughts, and I promise to return the knowledge back to the 501st once I get some experience under my own helmet.
Thank you; look forward to building friendships and hobby tips.
Sincerely,
Anakin Skywalker (not-so stable Jedi)
