SOMEHOW, it’s rapidly approaching a decade since I first entertained the idea of using the Galaxy Far, Far Away as a setting for first-person ‘reenacting’, and because progressive reenacting involves constant tinkering and improvement, a fair amount of these various personas has changed since their creation. (Of course, I’m a perfectionist who likes to wait until something is ‘finished’ before sharing – hence why I rarely share full-kit updates! – see the problem here?)
Though I haven’t had the time, energy, or opportunities to do anything with them in much-too-long, while I am making incremental progress towards my ‘functional workshop and sewing space’ goals, I wanted to use this Spring to overcome inertia, get some pieces out of my drafts folder, and check in with the state of my galactic impressions!
To accomplish this, I’ve been detailing each of these in their most up-to-date form, as well as summarizing the background research and justifications for choices that I’ve made to create each impression – all intended to serve as an example of what solid, research-based, fictional living history can look like.
Instead of publishing these as Posts (which will inevitably get pushed down the site’s front page), these breakdowns can now be found collected at the more permanent Personas and Impressions page ^above^! Check them out, and let me know your thoughts!
