Battlemaster

I'm a film production major, I'm from New Jersey, and I've been an avid Star Wars fan since I was 12. My favorite film is Revenge of the Sith and I am fluent in all 7 forms of lightsaber combat, so if duels are your thing, I'm your guy!

Not a Sith; Just Likes Black

I'm Miya (or Mia), a junior Computer Science & Business Administration major from Philadelphia! I'm a major Boba Fett fan, but of course, I also just like Star Wars in general. I don't talk a whole lot, but hey, neither did Boba in the original trilogy, and look where he is now.

Well, hello there! I am Ivy Kos, and I am a sophomore double majoring in Theatre and Classics. My favorite Star Wars characters are Omega and Thrawn, and I love all the shows except for Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars Resistance. I am always looking to improve my skills in lightsaber combat, so feel free to approach me if you want to choreograph a fight or just duel!

Lawful Guardian

I'm currently a comm major junior from Shanghai. I've been into Star Wars since I was in Grade 2. My favorite part of the Star Wars franchise is The Clone Wars. As for films, Rogue One and Revenge of the Sith have equal weight. I'm more of a prequel guy. I also really want to learn the lightsaber moves as well as how to make a set of clone armor.

Hondo’s Engineering Intern

Hi! My name is Megan and I’m a sophomore majoring in Film and Television Production. I initially got into Star Wars through the Star Tours ride and “The Season of the Force” at Disneyland. My favorite character is C-3PO but I also LOVE Fennec Shand! I also collect Funko Pops (I have over 300) with a large chunk of them being Star Wars ones. Watching the fireworks from Batuu (Galaxy’s Edge) while drinking Blue Milk is one of my favorite things to do!
