Once you’ve decided to begin your journey, the next step is to Connect (with other people who are interested in what you’re interested in).
This one is easy! There are plenty of places to find people who like Star Wars—everything from message boards, charity societies (501st or Rebel Legion), subreddits (/r/StarWars, /r/StarWarsShips, /r/MawInstallation), to countless facebook groups. There are also plenty of places to find people who like to wear funny clothes and go for walks in the woods.
While there is certainly plenty of overlap between the two interests, as I explained earlier, it simply seems no one has ever tried to join them together in a serious manner. Shall the twain ever meet? I would like to think so, and this blog is meant to show that it’s possible. If social media is more your style, swing on over to join the SWLH facebook group!
It’s often very helpful in historic reenacting circles for a newcomer to link up with a more-experienced Mentor figure to show them the ropes and help them grow, and the same goes for GFFA living history as well. Our facebook group now includes a Mentorship feature to help you do just that. If you’ve managed to find your way here, WELCOME! Leave a comment and say hello!
