Hi all,
I had heard about that sweet little girl who died of a brain tumor, and the fine folks who gave her a pink R2-KT for her, but I just saw the official announcement of the figure on Yakface this week.
Many of you know that I have a daughter, Anna Nina, who turns 4 in November.
Katie's story made me cry. I cannot imagine this happening to my girl.
The boyfriend of one of my university colleagues is at ComicCon in San Diego, and I begged her to ask him to buy an R2-KT for me. To me, this is the Star Wars fans at their very best, using the hobby to help children.
If you can spare the $10, please buy one.
Also, if War Droids wins this month I'm going to customize a special droid in Katie's memory. Afterall, peace is the hopeful outcome of any war, and I want my droid to embody that.
Well, sorry to get mushy, but this really, really hit me hard as a dad.
Love all,
Jordan
