One of the greatest things about Star Wars is how quickly something can bring fans altogether. Well, this past weekend at a convention called PopCon in Indianapolis Indiana we had one of those moments. There on the PopCon Facebook page, an image was captured that not only melted the hearts of Star Wars fans but reminded us what Star Wars is all about. If you have been on social media you have probably seen the picture. It is of The Mandalorian actor, Emily Swallow, and a child dressed as Swallow’s character the Armorer.
“All the feels at #PopCon2021 #emilyswallow #mandalorian #armorer,” is what was written with this picture and they are absolutely right. I mean how amazing is it to capture this moment on camera? Not only will this be something this child will remember the rest of their life, but it also reminded us fans that Star Wars is about the memories and the happiness that it has brought us as adults and as children. So thank you for this moment Emily Swallow, the Armorer, and the Armorer’s team that put this cosplay together. This was something that all fans needed to see. “This is the way!”

Les, I hope that picture helps others remember what Star Wars is about and remember all the good things about it.
Greetings Greg,
I am the father of the young girl in your picture. We are so touched by this article. Our daughter was so enamored with Ms. Swallow. Needless to say the moment was captured perfectly by Les Eller. and your article sums it up amazingly.
Thank you so much, we hope others will share in the enjoyment of Star Wars as our family does.
