A Long Time Ago, In Mississippi
From Rancors to ghosts to Gotham’s toughest villains, the brave soul that’s stepping up to answer Ten Burning Questions, Karen Camp, has her hands full! She faced down all ten questions with the bravery of Princess Leia, and gave me some great answers.
Here are Karen’s Ten Burning Questions:
1. DDK found out that you’re part of the Mississippi Mandalorians. Could you tell us a little bit about this group?
The Mississippi Mandalorians are a Star Wars based fan group. We have members who cosplay and those who don’t. We try to help raise money with different charities anytime possible. Mostly we are just a bunch of geeks who like to get together as often as possible and geek out.
2. Who puts the “Man” in Mandalorian, Boba Fett, Jango Fett, or someone else?
Boba Fett, most definitely!
3. Are you a part of any other groups, cosplay or otherwise? (click each group to go to their Facebook page)
I’m a member of : Dead South Horror, Gotham Rogues, Mississippi Metahumans, 501st Rancor Raiders, and I’m a member of Mississippi Paranormal Research Institute.
4. Darth Talon or Mara Jade? Who wins that fight and how do they do it?
Mara Jade wins. One good force slam into a wall, then a clean slice across her neck with her purple light saber.
5. The zombie apocalypse has begun! Name three characters that you want by your side when it all goes downhill!
Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Michonne.
6. Do you collect anything nerdy or geeky? If you do, what is it?
I collect anything Luke Skywalker. I have other Star Wars pieces as well. My main item is a life size Han Solo in Carbonite.
7. Should the Star Wars prequels be rebooted or left as they are, warts and all?
The prequels should definitely be left alone. The Phantom Menace was the first Star Wars movie I saw on the big screen. It is what made me fall in love with a galaxy far far away.
8. You’re stranded on a dark highway. Which of these characters would you rather have by your side: Batman, Rick Grimes, or Howard the Duck?
Rick Grimes. Hopefully he will take me to Daryl Dixon.
9. What are some of your favorite conventions to attend?
My favorite conventions are the Star Wars Celebration, Texas Frightmare, and of course Southern Geek Fest.
10. If you could live on any planet in the Star Wars universe, which one would you pick and why?
I would choose to live on Coruscant, but it would be the Coruscant from the EU. I know it’s not canon anymore, but I wanna live on the Coruscant with the Jedi Temple. The one with Luke Skywalker as the Jedi Grand Master.
Mega happy, super bonus question: Do you or the Mississippi Mandalorians have a webpage or social media pages that you’d like to share? Karen provided links to all of the groups that she is a part of. To visit any of them, simply click on the links in questions above.
I want to give a big thank you to Karen for answering Ten Burning Questions. I have two more interviewees waiting in the wings and will post their answers in the very near future. I also want to thank all of you for taking time to read this post.
Not to steal any of Karen’s thunder, I also want to briefly address the death of Carrie Fisher. As many of you know, our lovely princess passed away today, 12/27/2016. She will be greatly missed.
I plan on doing a more in depth post about Carrie Fisher in the near future. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.
Again, thanks for reading. See you all at a convention soon!
