Star Wars, Geek Culture, and Power Converters
Did you know Return of the Jedi is soon to turn 30?
Did you know our staff writer Bria runs a geek fashion blog?
Did you know the above two abstract and seemingly random questions are actually related? Well they are.
To celebrate Return of the Jedi’s 30th anniversary, our own Bria put together a tutorial on how to make your own Endor!Leia braids. Provided you’ve got enough hair to pull it off. Head over to White Hot Room to see for yourself!
The hosts are joined by costumers Bria and Heather to talk costuming and cosplay on this episode of Tosche Station Radio!
Kicking off the show, Nanci highlights what’s New on the Blog. Bria reviewed Legacy #1 and visited more of the YJK books on the Waru Express. Meanwhile, Nanci explained how the Sequel Trilogy and the EU aren’t mutually exclusive.
In Fixer’s Flash, Nanci’s kept herself busy by visiting the Orlando Science Center to see the Star Wars: When Science Meets Imagination Exhibit. While there she attended a Q&A and Meet and Greet with Ashley Eckstein. She also started reading Wool by Hugh Howey and Night Train to Rigel by Timothy Zahn. Brian, meanwhile, kept himself busy with sports. Lots of sports. Bria’s been reading Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and has blogged at her other gig at the White Hot Room. Heather was over at PAX East and Brian is very jealous.
Deak’s Dirt kicks off with Harrison Ford talking Episode VII. In that other Star franchise, there’s a new Star Trek Into Darkness international trailer. Her Universe has a new Dalek dress available now and other stuff coming in May. Finally, it’s reported that the Clone Wars bonus content will be two arcs and layoffs at Lucasfilm animation have already taken place.
This week’s Camie’s Concerns is all about costuming and the hosts are joined by staff writer and White Hot Room blogger Bria as well as Zhobot’s Heather. Did you know they’re both also members of The Lady Rogues and the Outlander Club? The guests and hosts discuss the allure of cosplay and costuming, the cosplay they’ve done, and offer up advice for costuming rookies.
Wrapping up the show, the hosts field questions in our Ask Us Anything segment.
