I've taken one of my periodic breaks from all social media interaction, mostly due to the fact that I feel completely drained from working and parenting my two awesome but wild-ass little kids! I try to devote the time I'm home to being present with my children. My son Paulie is already a huge Star Wars fan, & makes elaborate "setups" with action figures & vehicles. He loves The Battle of Hoth scene, especially the AT-AT and AT-ST walkers. I've given him some of my old Star Wars actions figures & vehicles to add to his collection.
One cold winter Saturday, we decided to spend the afternoon making what he called "The Ultimate Star Wars Hoth Setup". After taking some pics & video, we had an epic battle of vintage toys - complete with snowspeeders, AT-ATs, taunauns, a lurking wampa, Rebel & Empire Hoth playsets, and a homemade "Shield Generator" that my son had the idea make from packing material. This ended up being my top Reddit post of all time in r/StarWars with a ridiculous 6k likes & 300k+ views. Paulie was so pumped up when I was telling him that people liked his setup. I always hoped my son would enjoy Star Wars, but I've got a full-blown fanatic on my hands!
