"Model, actress and reality TV star Adrianne Curry does more than talk about her love for gaming, sci-fi movies, comics and all things geektastic, she shows off her pride with Cosplay and a web show where she talks about everything from Star Wars to World of Warcraft. Most recently she donned a costume worthy of the 501st Legion at their first annual TrooperFest in Las Vegas, and she also makes an impressive Slave Leia.
StarWars.com chats with the model and actress about her love for the Star Wars saga, why she thinks fans who dress up as stormtroopers rule, and how she got the nickname Chewie."
Which Star Wars film made you become a fan?
"Return of the Jedi, because it was the only one I had seen at the time, and I was just old enough to start retaining memories. Jabba used to scare the living crap out of me, but even at a young age, I loved the slave princess costume. I used to think it was a warrior princess thing, but I figured it all out when I got older."
Which character do you identify with the most in the entire Star Wars saga?
"Chewbacca, cause I am a huge, hairy, big-footed woman with a low voice. Most of the time, because of my mumbling habit, people can't understand what I am saying. I swear he's related to me. My dad must be part Wookiee."
Thanks to Bonnie as always for another great interview!
