Hello!!!!
we need @main lance too
I still have my copy of that Insider issue
it's pretty beat up because I carried it with me everywhere for a couple months, yelling at everyone about it
sturdy dew
Haha
As you should
I’ve got a 3D printed Mara miniature coming in the mail
I bought 2, one to try and paint myself, and a backup in case I screw up so I can pay someone else to do a good job lol
crisp atlas
so, true story: back when I started bellydancing, it is A Thing to not use your real name during performances. And everyone is looking through the Arabic books in the studio, and I'm just thinking "this isn't me." So off to Wookieepedia I go to browse through names instead.
You already know what I chose. and 15 years ago, it was way, way more insider, so no one got the reference. UNTIL. my friend (who took her name (Nimue) from Arthurian legend) brought a friend, and he got so excited and then that night I made a new friend!

I knew you did bellydance but I didn't know that fact!
new Jamie lore unlocked

Did you use the name Arica?

oh I've had my eye on those too
crisp atlas
Did you use the name Arica?
I did not, I went straight to Mara Jade, but the dance history was what cemented the choice for me
I never got a chance to dance with a lightsaber though.
indigo coyote
ooooh, that would have been awesome
b/c I am actually having another convo about Mara on another server, I think I talked myself into making her Jedi Academy costume 👀
crisp atlas
do it do it do it

I bought this back when BOTH of those things were cool and one did not screw up the ending so badly it erased itself from pop culture.
sturdy dew
that had the god awful mall hair?
Yes, I did a head swap with a Marvel Black Widow figure that fit perfectly

oh, sweet, that's a good tip lol
mine's still in the packaging but my god why did they have to give her that hairstyle

that's such a cool design even though I've never seen GOT
sturdy dew

this but uh, 10 year spoiler
indigo coyote
this but uh, 10 year spoiler
I've seen that image a bunch so I recognized it
was GOT really ten years ago?
that sounds fake
crisp atlas
longer!

Is that another custom? I'm not sure I've seen that one!

1999 was three years ago
indigo coyote
the cake topper for my wedding was Mara and Luke
I'll have to find a photo but I'm supposed to be writing 😅
sturdy dew
Is that another custom? I'm not sure I've seen that one!
It’s a miniature I commissioned
It’s about the size of my thumb lol
indigo coyote

excellent
bigger or smaller than the Micro Machines mara?
indigo coyote
that's awesome. I haven't dipped my toe into customs at all
sturdy dew
I’ve bought a few, but haven’t made any other than the Mara head swap lol
I just bought this one in fact
sturdy dew
I have some I’ve bought from an artist on eBay
indigo coyote
I'll try to take some photos of the art I have tomorrow. And some other cool Mara things I have, now that I think about it.
My friend made me a custom tumbler using images from the comic that is one of my favorite things
And another friend made me a cool leather bracelet
sturdy dew
I don’t have that specific drawing, but I have like 8 others by the same artist
When I’m in front of my desktop tomorrow I’ll post them
I’m still salty that the newest official Mara figure we got doesn’t actually look like the artwork that was on the packaging
Like, I bought the figure anyway lol
indigo coyote
It's by far the best looking one they've done

The framed one I got as part of the 2023 secret santa via this server

Oooooooo

Some recent acquisitions.
Is the one on the right a sketch card?
sturdy dew
My MJ pin board!
I want Mara pins, where did you get those?
indigo coyote
Is the one on the right a sketch card?
No, it's like a 4x6 postcard sized print
indigo coyote
I want Mara pins, where did you get those?
From about 10 or so different fantasy pin makers. I can try to get all the names tomorrow but I know many aren't available anymore or were limited

That’s unfortunate
indigo coyote
That’s unfortunate
You might be able to find some on the secondhand market
sturdy dew
Where would you suggest looking?
indigo coyote
A lot of pin sales happen through Instagram
Like if you post an ISO and tag the pin creator they usually will share it
Mercari is another place to look
I do see a couple there but they are like $50 each 😬
sturdy dew
Yikes
sturdy dew
That’s my specific hilt
Like that’s the installer I hired, demoing the electronics he put in my hilt
indigo coyote
Excellent
sturdy dew
I got my hilt back! I have a blade for it but I need to buy a battery for the chassis
indigo coyote
Nice!

I kinda wish I never changed my name. But I’ve been Peli longer than I was MaraJadeDroid so there’s no going back.
Curse my politeness!

Right in time for a Batuu trip in May!
I'm not sure I would count on it lasting two months
rain vortex
I’m going to try my best tomorrow. I don’t think they said when it would be in the parks. We’ll see
crisp atlas
They said tomorrow
rain vortex
Gotcha. So online is my best bet. Thanks.

There is always time to change
tall marten
There is always time to change
I can try but the last time I did it felt odd. A good time to try again! Bring back that early swgediscord lore.
sturdy dew
I JUST got my fancy Mara saber all done up with electronics but if I don’t buy this Legacy release like I’m contractually obligated to do so then the micro-bomb implanted in the base of my skull will go off sooooo
crisp atlas
Oh yeah we all understand that microbomb
indigo coyote
yeah, buying a Legacy when you already have a neopixel feels kinda meh BUT no one wants to die so
we do what we gotta do
sturdy dew
I got one! I got one! I avoided the bomb!
tall marten
I woke up to a surprise.
safe fossil
I woke up to a surprise.
Hubby bought you the Saber?
tall marten
Yep. He’s pretty cool.
safe fossil
Lmao. Tell him to get me one 🤣 jk. She will be added in the days of clamshell
I like the sabers, but LE boxes take up too much room
sturdy dew
Does every LE inevitably get a clamshell?
crisp atlas
so far everything but the Ren, which the LE is still sitting.
but MJ isn't being sold at Dok's at East (but apparently it is at West?) so who knows
sturdy dew
Courtesy of eBay
Artist is Scott Dalrymple
I love his work, I’ve got a ton of his art (including those two, now)
indigo coyote
I've been watching the prices on those tick ever upwards for the past 8 years and just accepted I'll never be able to justify one.
sturdy dew
Mara Jade just won the fan poll March Madness action figure wishlist bracket championship
indigo coyote
is that from Topps?
sturdy dew
I think it was just some random artist on eBay
I’m trying to remember the artist’s name
