Description:

The April 2015 Fandom in a Bag swap is Star Wars.

Step 1: Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters, movies, shows, books, or any other preference you may have.

Step 2: After partners are assigned, check to see what your partner likes. You can follow-up with a message if you need to know more. Then scrounge up, buy, and/or create items that fit in a bag. Your bag must contain at least 7 different types of items although more is certainly encouraged (PLEASE try to make it look full). Different types of items means 5 ATCs, 3 pins, 2 postcards would be 10 items but only 3 different types. The swap requirement is for 7 different types in a bag.

Some ideas of themed items: stickers, ATCs, postcards, toys/action figures, comics, note cards, pins/buttons, magnets, jewelry, trading cards, legal music CDs, charms, ornaments, books, bookmarks, address labels, postcards, plushies/stuffies, promo stills/autograph cards, fainfic, zines, etc.

More specific ideas: Jedi Academy exam sheet, podracing betting card/trick dice, hat/scarf to keep your partner warm on Hoth, mini light saber, mini versions of the droids your partner might be looking for, Han in carbonite ice cube trays, postcards or travel posters from different plants/systems, language dictionaries/cheat sheet, etc.

Be sure to check your partner's profile so you don't send anything he or she might be allergic to.

Step 3: Put the items in a ziplock-type bag. Size: 1 gallon (measures about 10 inches by 11 inches or 28cm by 26.5 cm). You can decorate the bag or incorporate the bag into something (mount it or sew something around it). If you want to make or buy a bag instead of using a ziplock plastic one, that's fine as well, but it should be at least a gallon in size. All items you gather or create should fit into the bag (if a couple are too big, that's fine).

Assemble your bags during the month of April and please send by the deadline (April 30).

Group rating rules apply. NO FLAKING ALLOWED! Flakers will be on the wrong side of a light saber.

I enjoy items with both the Rebel and Galactic Empire symbols. (I'm Imperial, the boyfriend is a Rebel)

My favorite movie is Empire Strikes Back. I also like lightsabers, tie fighters, x-wings, and Darth Vader.

Melumebelle 03/23/2015 #

R2D2 and C3PO are my favorites! :D I love games like Battlefront, and like the original three movies best.

A lanyard would be awesome, since I work somewhere where I wear one (damn that was weird to type) sometimes now and I want to look cool and hip. :D

I like pretty much anything, but I don't seem to have a big use for pins. :C Also, tshirts hardly ever fit me correctly, so unless it is an xsmall and a v neck, no thank you!

Message me if you need more ideas. (:

Lord Jesus I have been hoping this would be a swap!!! I LOVE Star Wars.. LOVE it lol. Borderline obsessed.. Fav characters; Boba fett, Darth vader, Darth Maul, any Sith really... Yoda, Padme, Anaken(good and bad). Count Dooku, general grievous, jarjar, Darth sidious, commander Cody, storm troopers, AT-AT, rancor, r2d2, not TOO big on the clone wars, or Cartoon versions.... My son loves star wars as well so Lego versions are welcome. Any of the crafts and ships. Death Star.. X wings ect... I love key chains, ATCs handmade stuff.. I enjoy upcycled items too. Don't feel like you have to blow a lot of money!( thrift shop finda are welcome) any action figures,or toys.. I LOVE Star Wars art( I've seen a lot of painting of Star Wars characters made into day of the dead versions of themselves).... Just get creative :)

KateKintail 03/24/2015 #

I love Jedi. So much. Which is one reason I love the prequel movies more than I probably should. The other reason is Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. LOVE. Especially Ewan as Obi-Wan. SO MUCH LOVE.

I like the good guys. I like droids. I like Ewoks. I'm starting to sound like the worst SW fangirl. LOL

Really, though, anything Obi or Jedi-related is fantastic. I like Ahsoka a lot, especially her dynamics as Ani's padawan learner. I like Yoda and Mace. I love Jedi padawans & masters and training and the academy and the code and the temple and the council and lightsabers and Obi-Wan. Did I mention him? heehee I will never say no to Star Wars LEGO or anything soft and huggable. Feel free to send me Ewan McGregor himself in Jedi robes if you can manage it with his agent/family ;-)

Melumebelle 03/24/2015 #

Oh I forgot to mention I also like LEGO Star Wars stuff and plushie things :D

Chitcakes 03/25/2015 #

It's easier to list my dislikes of star wars. If it's from the new ones or any of the cartoons count me out. I'm one of those folks that still tells people it's a trilogy.

JediLibrarian 03/25/2015 #

OMG!!! I am so happy this is happening!!! I love love love Star Wars! To the point of actively working on my costume for the 501st and the Rebel Legion as Sabine Wren and Bo Katan. Yeah.. big time obsessed dork.. it's sad.. as in my living room has plastic armor in various stages of painting strewn about..

I love pretty much all of it. I collect Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers I also love anything Boba Fett, Jango, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, Barriss Offee, Ventress (yes really she is a tortured villain), Bo Katan, Han Solo (my 1st crush), Chewie, Leia and Ahsoka items including action figures. I am always scouting the thrift stores for troopers! :) I love both the Jedi and the Empire. Mandalorian things rock!

I run our libraries Star Wars Reading day every year so a lanyard that I can wear at work would be awesome. I have tons of Star Wars pins so you can skip them.

Artwork, earrings, socks, Star Wars Legos, plushies, totes, posters, stickers, toys for my office, fabric, keychains, upcycled shirts into something cool.. pretty much whatever. It's all cool!

Things to skip: pins (my hubby has loaded me up with them), books, Comics (subscribe to them all), ATC's
Jar Jar.. nope.. or Emperor Palpatine.. Bleh.

And like KateKintail I would not turn down a visit from Harrison Ford or Ewan McGregor!

PM me if you need more ideas!! lol

faves are Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Yoda, Chewbacca. Christmas ornaments would be super welcome, but send me anything :)

I'm a huge fan of star wars! I love the movies so much! I would definitely say I'd be on the dark side! My favourite character is Darth Maul! How ever i do love yoda! I also really like jar jar binks he always made me smile! Ewoks are my favourite thing little ever! There sooo flipping adorable!

I would love anything to do with those characters i'm sure i would love anything store bought or hand made! The only thing i ask is to not send me any books or comics, I have so many comics and books etc I really don't want anymore. Please

I'd also like to add: I do not watch the cartoons, I do collect Pop! figures so they would be welcome, small wall art is welcome, lego figures would be fine. Men's or women's socks, tote bags, plushies, pinback buttons, ATCs, dog tags, dice bags would all be welcome. We do play the X-Wing minature game so anything from that would be great. I am extremely laid back anything you send will be great!

Nothing with Jar Jar Banks, no lanyards as I have no use for them, I am Imperial so any ladies jewelry should have that symbol on it. :)

TheGraceMartin 03/31/2015 #

I love Han Solo. You could send me a bag full of Han Solo and I will be the happiest girl in the world.

I also LOVE Darth Maul! I had the biggest crush on him when that movie came out. (I know. I was a weird kid.) Anything relating to the Sith is great! I love the bad guys! I love Darth Vader and Anakin (older) as well

Ooh anything romantic with Anakin + Padme or Han Solo + Leia would be great!

Chewbacca is great please do not send me Jar Jar Binks. He is just the worst.

I abhor Angry Birds Star Wars but Star Was Legos are cool.

I wear a men's large t-shirt, but I only wear black t-shirts.

Darthkrispy 04/ 3/2015 #

It's super hard to narrow down my favorite Star Wars things, I pretty much love anything Star Wars. I however do not like the animated cartoons, I also do not like teh Angry Birds Star Wars stuff. I don't care much for the Expanded Universe once it hits The New Jedi Order series.

The Original Trilogy is my favorite, I'm not a huge fan of the Prequel trilogy but it's still Star Wars. My favorite characters are, Obi-Wan, Han Solo, Leia, Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, Mara Jade, R2-D2 and many more.

I love Legos, Funk Pop, artwork, books, comics. I have the second Princess Leia comic they came out with but can't find the first so I would love you if you could. I love pens, pins, keychains, notebooks.
