From Admiral Ackbar to Master Yoda, enjoy a lively discussion and slideshow on how your favorite Star Wars characters and designs have been re-engineered in Steampunk style. Steampunk artist and Star Wars fan, Brian Kesinger (artist/writer Walking Your Octopus) and fellow Southern California Star Wars Steampunks will discuss what it takes to create Steampunk concepts based on traditional designs until the art becomes cosplay reality. The program will finish with "How to Steampunk a Star Wars Character in 60 Seconds" with all Steampunks and Star Wars cosplayers brought forward to show off their incredible creations! Panelists include Shawn "Obi-Shawn" Crosby, Rebecca "Lady Fett" Eusey, and Alex "Dapper Fett" Vargas. Moderated by Anastasia Hunter (chair, Gaslight Gathering Steampunk Convention).
