Today in warm and fuzzy, a 7-year-old Augusta, Ga., boy was surprised by a local group of Stormtroopers when they presented him with his very own trooper prosthetic arm.
The 501st Legion, a group that brings together Star Wars costuming enthusiasts, presented Liam Porter with his new arm, who was “speechless,” according to the Augusta Chronicle. The arm was built by John Peterson, a Grovetown, Ga. “3D printing enthusiast” who found Liam’s family “via an online community that creates prosthetics for those who need them,” reports CNET.
A Star Wars fan, Liam was born without part of his left arm and past prosthetics didn’t work well for him. The new arm is a RIT arm and can be printed quickly and costs much less than prosthetics from traditional medical suppliers. Liam was all smiles and didn’t need to add much more to the happy event than saying “cool.”
Watch the entire “cool” experience below:
