Laszlo Szilvai is a fellow Star wars fan, but his experiences are more deeper than any of us. His story is really fantastic, and was a dream come true. He could participate in a role in Star Wars Episode 1, the Phantom Menace. When the Gungans and the Naboos gather to celebrate the Peace ceremony, he was there, dressed like a kind of naboo citizen. He can not be identified, he was standing is the back, a small dot, nothing special. Yet, he inhaled the air of the scene, was a part of the plot, and saw everything from the first row. We all saw pictures depicting fans trying to catch a moment of a Star Wars recording over a tall barrier. This happened in Australia, and many other filming plots, but Laszlo was there, in person, living the wonder from INSIDE. He knows many secrets and tricks. He reads the Encyclopedia totally different than us, because he knows what a commlink made from, and how simple things were used to create devices, outfit accessories, and utilities. The experience has been living within his soul, and his love is eternal. His girlfriend is a wonderful lady, she tolerates his man's hobby, supports him, and even joins him in many ways. She planned a very special Christmas gift for Laszlo, a custom figure, which shows him as a naboo guard. She asked me to help her in this surprise, and we made this custom figure. (Laszlo has a different hairstyle, and a bit changed face recently than he had in the reference photo.)
