May The Fourth be with you~SWCO was just awesome!

May The Fourth be with you everyone!

I attended the Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017( Ap 13-16th).
and this was my 4th Star Wars Celebration(Celebration Japan,Orlando, Anaheim and Orlando).


I'm a fan of Star Wars since I was around 12 years old.
I went to the theater TFA for 8 times, Rogue one also 8 times.
I can't count how many times I watched all episode..

There are many way for enjoying Star Wars. Someone loves plastic models, novels, build the light saber, build a robot, of course costume play(me too) etc..

In my case..my main fan activity is Star Wars vegetable carving!
During the Celebration, I've stayed in our booth" Jedi Order Japan" and carved Star Wars vegetable carving for most of time.

Here's our booth. There is a man standing in the middle..He is our friend "Shuhon-san"  from the Rebel legion Japan Base.

looks so cool!, isn't he!? :)

Jedi Order Japan is a Fan club where people love the Star Wars gather.
In Celebration this year, we displayed our handmade SW items such as

Takahiro's Cube

Yuki's Papercutting art (Yuki's web page )

We gave full power for 4 days!!

I started to carve the vegetable into a Star Wars since 2005 when I met my friends.
Every time We have a meeting at my place, I made different vegetable carving...that means I've been in this fight since I was 33 years old!

In Orlando, My operation started from buying a vegetable at  the supermarket!

at first ,I thought I bought too many.. but used all of them after all.

Actually this was our 3rd time of celebration in USA, so we have many good friends there. Seeing with them again is also one of our purpose!!

We've been in friends since the last Orlando.

We were so happy to have Mairo-san who is the reader of 501 Japanese garrison!

I met Stuart-san few month ago in Japan, and we meet again inOrlando!

They are so cute and great costumer. 

We've met all three Star Wars Celebrations!

Their parent is a great R2-builder and this year..they bring new one..Chopper!! that was amazing!

We are so glad to met them again!

Hope to see next time too!

On Saturday, I had a presentation at Star Wars University(Fan panel).
