That is absolutely correct!

It was his idea. I loved it.

His idea...very cool!

I gave him one of my garrisons Challenge coins too. Afterwards, the Garrison took him out to dinner.

There are benefits to being 501'st.

I should mention the one time Peter Mayhew put me in a headlock...

If I could get an amor to fit and not feel awkward due to size I would be in :\

I could see Mayhew doing more than that if you let him. Looks like a great guy to hang with!

Size matters not. There are armors to fit pretty much any body type.

Peter and his wife were out in Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con for autograph signings. Afterwards, the garrison took them out to dinner, and by pure chance I ended up sitting next to Peter.

This was at the time that the USPS was doing the Star Wars stamps, and the voting was going to be held on which one would be widely released.

Angie discussed that they would *really* like Chewbacca to win the stamp. I looked around, and commented, "I don't know, I'm more of a Darth Vader guy", well, at that, Peter reached around, wrapping his arm around my neck. I loudly proclaimed 'LET THE WOOKIE WIN! LET THE WOOKIE WIN!' Everyone laughed, and I was released.

Afterwards, my wife and I drove him and his wife back to their hotel, while Peter told us a couple amusing stories from ESB.

Republic Commando.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Republic Commando.

Maybe I'll do that. Would rather do that than a Mando Merc.

Garrison Carrida is my local. Is it best to start there ?

Mando's won't get you into the 501'st.

But yes, Start at Carrida, but also stop by clonetroopers.net

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Maybe we can talk more at the party or something. I could really use some direction.

I was having the same concern jjj, when considering building a Han. I don't want to be a fat Han, and in the two years that have passed, I've done close to nothing about dropping my extra 30 lbs. or so. So he's been postponed until CVII...

I've done small amounts of work on putting something together, but to be honest, full time school and work have consumed me since CV.

Starting ANH now...

 

[furystorm]

Is is wrong that I still get hardcore chills and goosebumps with the rising musical score during the dual setting sun scene on Tatooine, in ANH?

No, probably not, if feels so right.

Always was a great scene. To me, the Williams scores are an essential character in the trilogy.

To me, the Williams scores are an essential character in the trilogy.

And I'm finding this very true in Jaws as well, having just watched the bluray for a third time last night. Hauntingly wondrous scoring there too.

 

[furystorm]

I just watched Motti's scene with the subtitles on to be sure...

It is "sorcerer's"

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

 

[Darth Waller]

"Governor Tarkin. I thought I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board."

 

[furystorm]

How did you know exactly where I was at this precise moment in the film?

The final venue of the party has been finalized finally!

Cafe Gaugin Restaurant at the Rosen Centre Hotel
