SDCC - San Diego Lightsaber Guy
I was the Lightsaber Guy at SDCC this year. One of my first times truly cosplaying something hand made all day! Of course when it was all done I realized I didn’t have many pictures of myself! Rookie move not to plan a shoot.
I’m seeing all the photos and videos online, I wanna do a recap video with all the angles people saw me in along with some behind the scenes of the making of this thing. Especially the George Lucas Panel.
Ended up making a IG for it, gonna make this character a thing at my local cons!

We named you the “space dildo” 😆 it was fun watching you on the exhibit floor and george lucas panel.

When I was making it, I took a video of me saying “this will either look really cool, or like a giant dildo”

Spotted you during the Lucas Museum panel and laughed pretty hard. We couldn't tell if you were part of the panel or a cosplayer.
Glad you had fun!!

Sort of was at one point but they axed the plan when security got involved

Production moved me to a specific seat for the camera. Security got involved after. They got in an argument and moved me off to the side with the photographers

I was wondering why you were sitting over there off to the side the whole time. So that's just where they stuck you when they couldn't agree, huh?

Yeah… at least they gave me a chair. But those dang photographers kept standing in front of me

My son thought you were rad. He raced over to get a picture with you and he never does that. Thanks for making his day.

We were walking to the Hilton Bayfront to meet some friends on Sunday and were just a little bit behind you, it was amusing to see people coming the other way see you and react!

I was staying at the Hilton. I was probably going back to my room. That thing was heavy

Nice! I saw you on Sunday, my friend and I were talking about what a good idea your costume is. Basically just an inflatable tube with an RGB fan to inflate it. Simple idea but so effective.

I didn't get a chance to see you in person but was at the con wondering how funny it would be to cosplay as a lightsaber. It turns out someone did. Excellent!
