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!
This 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.

Event debrief: May the Fourth 2018
Location: local indoor Astroturf park

Step 8 – refine refine refine!
Congratulations! You’ve taken your first step into a larger world! Now the real work fun begins–continued research, polishing, perfecting, and refining!

Kids ask the darndest things, so bounce your persona off some younglings and learn what you need to fine-tune…they will quickly find any blind spots in your impression. At my last event, a young girl asked me what I ate…all I was able to come up with was “Errm…milk?…Errm, yeah, that’s right, blue milk!”…so, it is safe to say that I definitely need to research that topic!
Researching, compiling, and writing this site takes a lot of time and energy.
