>> My name is Christina Cato and this is my younger brother Baron.
So I started building droids. It was three or four years ago.
I do a lot of STEM events to try and get girls or excited about it.
>> So about two years ago, I think it was now
we showed her the Star Wars trailer.
She really loved it and everybody loved seeing her kind of react to it.
>> We do a lot of charity and costume work.
>> We mostly cosplay a Star Wars Rebels.
We do hospitals. We do chalk. We do Make A Wish.
>> Knowing we were the first people to experience this. I could not sleep last night
>> Do you know what we're going to see in a minute?
>> Star Wars.
>> We're gonna see Star Wars.

>> So cool.
>> laughing
>> No one doesn't know the Millennium Falcon to speak to be able to see this, Wow.
I want to build that one.
So as a Droid builder, I tend to do a lot of events.
We have a huge group of builders that get bigger every year
because more people get inspired and we get together.
(laughing)
I'm hoping that you know, by doing more visible things
that I'll be able to encourage more people of color to get into it.
>> As we were growing up we didn't have a ton of money. So we use our imagination.
We would take milk crates in our day care and we've set them up
and we would pretend that they're x-wing fighters.
(laughing)
But to be able to walk through and experience it, I am just so excited.
>> Hello builders, welcome.
Hello.
Each part of hilt in front is going to make a lightsaber that is as unique and extraordinary as every single one of you.
>> The Jedi Code is based on selflessness.
I think that that's such a thing that the world is lacking.
So I think it's really important that my kids learn the importance of
what it is to really reach out and help people like no matter who they are.

>> The Millennium Falcon.
I blew it.
I even press this button where it goes super speed.
>> Punch it Cora!!
>> I got to press it two times.
Chewbacca... Chewbacca.
>> Oh my goodness.
>> It has just been an absolute privilege.
I cannot put into words
to be able to experience it with my sister
then to think were some of the first.
It so grateful.
All right. I got to get it together and pretend like I'm an adult.
(laugh)
>> No you don't,
(laughing)
not today.
