Next on the red carpet is WWW - WIcket W. Warrick!

Happy Star Wars Day from the Big Cheese. May the fourth be with you.


It's My Force Now

 

Revenge of the Sith Fifth!


The Chosen One

 

I hear that Chewie's a big star in that Solo movie. He's all cleaned up and ready tor the red carpet.


Ready for the Big Event

 

THey can't shoot straight, they bump their heads on doors, they can't see where they're going. This must be a...

"No distractions. Don't trip. Don't bump into the car with the celebrity."

Chewie's Best Friend

 

This was one of those moments that made the walkaround characters of Star Wars Weekends so much fun. Zam Wessel was skulking around, minding her own business, when an Imperial stormtrooper came up and started hassling her. You know, "Move along" and other threatening language.

The caption says it all.

I tried to translate the flag, but I can't see enough of it in any of my photos to do a complete job. The first two lines start with DESERT and the last two lines read OIF ONE and OIF THREE. Perhaps this 501st member is a real-life veteran of operations in the middle east.

This One's For You

 

If you dig back through this thread, you'll find the ongoing saga of the blue-clad flag-carrying Mystery Girl from the Star Wars Weekend parade. I've finally decided that she's a changeling, since every time I saw her she had a different face.

Here's the first face that I saw, in 2011:


Star Wars Mystery Girl 2011

For comparison, here she is with her faces from 2013 and 2012 and from 2015. (Her 2014 face was a repeat of the one from 2013.)
