You might have a bad feeling about this (see what we did there?), but worry not, the following piece of intel will surely make every Star Wars fan squeal with joy.
A long time ago (one year to be specific), in a galaxy far, far away (the Milky way), Egyptian super-fan Ahmed El-Attar decided to create an Instagram account that celebrates his love towards Star Wars. The account follows a Lego Stormtrooper on his journey of exploring the globe.
“What inspired me is a mix of my passion for photography and the geeky love I have for Star Wars. That’s why I always walk around with my Lego Stormtrooper, who goes by the name Stormie,” El-Attar tells us. “I started the account initially to give sarcastically false-deep advice and quotes, coming from an alien’s point of view, analyzing the life of humans.”
We’ve seen a rise in fictional characters in the form of Lego or vinyl figures over the past couple of years in Egypt, but a wise Stormtrooper that aspires to become a travel blogger/influencer has got to be our new favorite.
When asked about his favorite Stars Wars character, El-Attar told us, “That’s the toughest. I can’t say I’m wholeheartedly a part of the Light side, but I’m as hesitant and undecided as Rey and Kylo Ren. So I’d say they’re both my favorite characters, as they make a good combination.”
