Forum name:  tsteele

TKID: SL-23236

Approved character: Maul

Why you chose:
I’ve always been a Star Wars fan but a few years ago my manager (who had dressed as Maul for Halloween) suggested I would make a good Darth Maul too.  It was the encouragement I needed to push me outside my comfort zone.  Challenge accepted and accomplished!!
 
Something about myself:
As Maul I look like a bad ass on the outside when I am really the complete opposite on the inside.  However, I am a leftie just like Ray Park!

Approved character: AT AT Commander / General Veers

Why you chose:
I have always loved the AT-AT since seeing them stomping on Rebel scum on Hoth, then to see them again in Rogue 1. Its also nice to have a costume you can bend over with. 
 
Something about myself:
I am an avid BBQer and won the very dubious homemade Iron Chef Belt 2 years in a row.

Approved character: Kylo Ren - the force awakens

Real Name: Jamie Milner

Forum name:  JAMO

TKID: ID-11500

Approved character: First Order Colonel 

Why you chose: I wanted an officer costume so I could enjoy the sensation of sitting whilst trooping (TKs aren’t sit friendly). I tossed up OT vs First Order and chose First Order, because it is rare and the colour is awesome. 

 
Something about myself:
in my spare time, when I’m not building costumes or working on my bonsai (which is most of the time), I’m usually cycling or surfing (editor's note, i demand photos of the bonsai)
