Q: What first hooked you on Star Wars?

A: I knew I was hooked the first time I watched the Opening Crawl roll across the screen. The mix of music, mystery, and scale made me feel like I was stepping into an entirely new universe, and I have not looked back since.

Q: You’ve said Darth Maul is your favorite — why him above all others?

A: To me, Darth Maul is the perfect balance of intimidating presence and tragic storytelling. His design, his double-bladed lightsaber, and his fight scenes are iconic, but what really makes him my favorite is his resilience. Even after being defeated, he keeps coming back, evolving, and showing incredible depth as a character.

Q: If you could own any piece from Star Wars, what would it be?

A: I would want Darth Maul's original double-bladed lightsaber from The Phantom Menace. Not only is it one of the most recognizable lightsabers in Star Wars, but it also represents the exact moment I became fascinated with the darker side of the Force.

Q: Outside of Maul, which character deserves more recognition?

A: Asajj Ventress. Her story arc in The Clone Wars is powerful, layered, and shows such emotional growth. She is a fierce fighter, but also a deeply human character, as we can see in Tales of the Underworld, who deserves way more recognition.

Q: What was your very first Star Wars collectible?

*A: My first collectible was a Lego Star Wars set :). *

Q: Which piece in your collection means the most to you?

A: My most meaningful piece is a notecard written to me by my students with a Darth Maul lightsaber drawn on the back of it. While not generally a collectible, it shows me that my passion for what I love is seen by others.

Q: Is there a new fandom or line you’d like to start collecting?

A: I would love to start getting into collecting Invincible collectibles!

Q: If you could visit anywhere in the galaxy, where would you go first?

A: I would go to Naboo. It is peaceful, beautiful, and filled with history. The lakes, rolling fields, and serene cities feel like the perfect escape from the chaos of the galaxy.

Q: Would you be Jedi or Sith?

A: I would probably be a Sith, but maybe with a little bit of style. I admire the power, the independence, and the darker aesthetic (even though I am known for my brighter colors). That said, I would still keep a little balance and not go full dark side.

Q: What’s the centerpiece of your collection?

A: My collection would not be complete without all of my Darth Maul collectibles. He is the centerpiece of everything I have built around my fandom!
