Ian Sparrowhawk, born in Watford, England, comes from a family of artists. Born with one hand, he never let it slow him down—instead, it fueled his determination. His life changed forever after watching Star Wars in London, sparking a passion that would shape his future.
After meeting the UK 501st Legion, Ian dove into the world of props and costuming, portraying Darth Vader for charity. His next challenge? Building Chewbacca from scratch—a project that required months of research, sculpting, and fabrication.
Beyond Star Wars, Ian is a professional chef, having cooked for royalty and worked in five-star London hotels. Now, he balances his culinary career with prop-building, currently constructing a Millennium Falcon and trooping across the UK.
Known online as Chefhawk, he shares his work across forums and social media, blending his love of craftsmanship, charity, and Star Wars into a truly unique journey.
