Hunter discovered his love of Star Wars back in 2005 during the release of Revenge of the Sith. The release of The Clone Wars movie and TV show solidified Hunter's love of the complex world of Star Wars as a life long passion. Over the years, his love of the franchise and creative mindset led him to the costume and prop building side of the fandom where he continues to deepen his love of the fan community through the costuming clubs and hours spent on projects such as his own armor, droid, and prop builds.
