2024 Collect-A-Con

“Last Saturday we did Collect A Con KC. KT20 was there with other droid friends and my squad of KC Star Wars Alliance. 1/2 thru the event a father and daughter came up to me, just looked at me expectantly. I looked at them and said hi. The daughters asked if this is a KT R2 unit. I said of course, she is KT20. They say they have been trying to meet her for a long time, hearing KT20 might be attending they were very excited. I looked down, and she was carrying the limited edition Hasbro Celebration Exclusive R2-KT in the package. I said hey I know what that is! She asked if she could meet KT and have a picture taken. Of course! They have followed KT’s story from the beginning. It really spoke to them, I did not pry. We had a good visit and we agreed to visit in the future…. Very rewarding! This is why I do it!”
