Here's my wife and I as Han Solo and Princess Leia.

I wish I had a fuller picture, but apparently this was the only one we took this past year haha! If I can dig up some others, I'll come back.

May the force be with you all!

I try for every presentation I do to use a Star Wars theme of some sort . The last accessibility presentation I did at axe-con, I made light sabers emporium site:

Very nice! 🙌

Checked out your blog post too. Love how you spun off the quote "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" and related it to the way in which companies will treat accessibility.

In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi, “Only a Sith deals in absolutes”. The same goes with development teams and accessibility. There is no absolute solution that will add accessibility into the development process in one sprint. There is not one single line of code that will fix all your accessibility issues. However, you can add accessibility as part of the development process in small increments, which will eventually create a well-oiled and agile accessibility process within your development team!

Very nicely said. I recommend to anybody who catches this comment that they check out the full post!

Awwww yeah! Sloan holding a lightsaber is definitely the image I want to take with me into the weekend. Thank you for that.

Now, to get together my Han Solo outfit... 🤓

A long time ago in a galaxy far far way I dressed up as Princess Leia for Halloween

Also alternatively, when I was 17 I printed an image of Darth Vader fighting a unicorn onto a white sweatshirt for giggles, though a bit worn down over the years haha still one of my favorite original apparels! :-)
