They got into it right away, which was fine by us since it's not an irritating cartoon with squeaky voiced characters. She explains, "It's been a great show for all our kids of all ages to rally around. Ariane thinks Star Wars Rebels is a fine introduction to the universe. In fact, that trailer helped push the kids into total obsession territory. Sandy says the kids - ages three, four, six, and seven - started watching Star Wars Rebels after they saw the trailer for The Force Awakens. They're passing the Star Wars torch to their children. I continued to read about the making of the movies and the fiction of the saga until I got too busy in my late teens and had to put it aside." I guess it's a pretty nerdy thing for an 11-year-old girl to do, but being homeschooled, I was able to follow my interests. I read about how groundbreaking Star Wars was so I checked it out of the library. "The thing that led me to Star Wars was my interest in the practical special effects and sound effects. "No one in my family was into sci-fi, so I began my journey at the library," she says. He says, " Star Wars has always been a part of my life, but believe it or not, the best memories I have from Star Wars were watching the Ewoks movies and listening to Planet of the Hoojibs book and cassette, as well as owning approximately five million of the original action figures!"Īriane discovered Star Wars in a different way than most people. One of the first movies Sandy saw was Return of the Jedi. The Kamps have a long history with Star Wars. The Kamps' three-year-old daughter is in love with Chopper, so it was only natural that they decided to make a replica. The Star Wars Rebels droid is known for being gruff and sassy, but his taciturn demeanor doesn't keep fans from falling head over heels for him. Sandy and Ariane Kamps, toy store co-owners and parents of four younglings, used the everyday-object method to make their very own Chopper. In this instance, choosing the simpler path doesn't mean you're crossing to the dark side. Everyday household objects you can find at your local hardware and craft stores are another route. If you want an astromech but aren't married to the idea of making it screen-accurate or giving it moving parts, there are other options. The R2-D2 Builders group facilitates constructing astromechs with templates, instructions, and helpful advice, but it's definitely the kind of project that requires a commitment. See how one family made their own grumpy astromech.īuilding a completely functional replica of a droid from Star Wars isn't a simple undertaking.
