Home Made Star Wars Stocking Posted By Mike on December 30, 2007
Friend of TFN, Nancy L., sent in the following:
"Happy Holidays! I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan, and so is a special little friend of mine. A special SW-themed gift I made for him is why I'm writing, just in case you might want some holiday fan-related news that readers can also make, too. Young Nick is a preschooler, but his family are "old School" SW fans, so I wanted to make him something special for the holidays, particularly since the little "Jedi" is named after the big guy himself, jolly Ole' St. Nick. The Christmas stocking I made for him is bigger than he is at over a yard long, and is covered with some of the saga's most recognized favorite characters. The individual character patterns I used were actually adapted from pumpkin carving stencil patterns featured for free on www.starwars.com. With the help of spray adhesive and a really good pair of scissors it was remarkably fast to make.. I'm really proud of the Santa stocking, and that as well as I admit the possibility that Nick might possibly see it on a website would be a fun holiday gift! Thanks for running such a great fan inspired site!"
You're welcome Nancy and Happy New Year to you and yours!
The Man Who Shot Luke Skywalker Posted By Dustin on August 27, 2008: Many of you probably don't know Photographer Kim Simmons, but you will recognize his photography of vintage and modern Star Wars collectibles. He has opened up a website right here where you can now order prints and posters of his nostalgic photography so many of us grew up with over the years. We (The Ohio Star Wars Collectors Club) had Kim as a VIP guest at this year's Summer Social and I must say the prints he has are amazing to see first hand!

This set includes repacks of Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, a Sandtrooper, a moisture vaporator, an all-new baby womp rat, and the Lars domicile! Anyone who thinks this set is inspired from the legendary fan-film TROOPS....you're not alone.
