Some further thoughts on in-universe branding

In an earlier post, I wrote that I like to play a little game whenever a ‘custom Mandalorian’ costumer comes across my feed. The game is called ‘how many mythosaurs will this costume have?, and which pieces of kit will they randomly adorn?’
Unlike the ur-Mandalorian example (Boba Fett) who bore a single small mythosaur on a pauldron, the ‘custom Mando’ crowd seemingly can’t help but slap them everywhere: side of the helmet, on their cape, covering their entire chest armor, on their blaster stocks, on their belt buckle…sometimes all of the above???

Event Debrief: 2 Feb 2019

It’s that time of year again, when events start popping up that are in serious need of a Rebel presence. And so we return again to another season of Event Debriefs!
2-2-19This was actually my second such event in the last week, but the first one (of 26 January) was much less about the Star Wars side of things and more about the activism-propaganda distribution/social disruption side, and so was far less productive/successful.
