STAR WARS

My Fandom and Cosplay Domain

Not so very long ago on a planet right here

an ordinary guy discovered his fandom

and answered the call for help.


Evil is influencing people all throughout the galaxy

but there is hope of a resistance

because the Force is strong

with those who believe in and follow the light side.


So I donned a costume and became a Star Wars cosplayer

to do good and spread the message of love

in my free time through my hobby

as I already have been in my real life vocation.


The task great it is,

but a difference we make ...

HELLO

I am a Fan of the Star Wars verse of stories because of it's spiritual themes and the cool special effects.

I am a Jedi who discovered an affinity with the great masters of old and who admires their noble composure and actions.

I am a Padawan learner because I am not yet trained in the depths of Star Wars canon and legends knowledge.

And as a Clergy I follow and preach the Jedi creed of seeking balance in the universe by pursuing freedom, justice and peace.

I am definitely in the light side and support the rebel cause.

Meet my SW cosplay characters and follow their epic adventures:

Mandalorian Bounty Hunter and the Child

“Star Wars is made up of many themes. This is a world where evil has run amuck. But you have control over your destiny, you have many paths to walk down, and you can choose which destiny is going to be yours.”

(George Lucas, Time Magazine, 1999)

Star Wars Identities

During a trip to Munich, Germany, I was able to attend an exhibit based on the Star Wars saga.

Identities explored how each of our lives are shaped by a variety of influencing factors just as the characters in the Star Wars movies.

On display were also art designs, props, and costumes from the original original sets.

Halloween and Parade

I have only been a Star Wars fan since watching the Return of the Jedi. But I got really excited when the saga was coming to a close after almost five decades in 2019.

To celebrate the occasion of the Episode IX release I invited my church to participate in a couple of  community events and use Star Wars as a theme. It was a perfect opportunity to live out my fandom fantasies.

Star Wars and Christian Spirituality

In conjunction with the opening of Star Wars episode VII in theaters in 2019, I led a worship service in my congregation to show connections between Christian Spirituality and George Lucas' movies.

There were live Star Wars music, themed prayers, humorous and insightful references, a special message by a Jedi Clergy, costumed fans, decorations, droids and a rebel converted shuttle.

"Jesus is greater than any Jedi, because he alone came to save the whole universe by overcoming the dark side."
