A mexican custom, something that mexican fans should be proud of

I'm very happy to see the Wampa suit in a Caption of starwars.com

This Wampa, as many stuff around Star Wars, has his own story.
The custom of the Wampa was made by Roberto from a Regional Star Wars Fan Club called Star Wars San Luis, from the San Luis Potosi State in the Mexican Republic.
The custom was developed using extensions for the arms, its real fur, and won the 1st Prize in Encuentros 2004, a Star Wars Mexican Convention.

But as I said, I'm happy to see it published in this website because Roberts is a beloved fan and a good friend, and if I see it published I feel some part of me on that, because many mexican fans feel like we are one big community, and we feel proud of this, it realy worth it. Thanks Roberto for making part of you. This recognition is a bigger prize and we are proud of you.
