    Yep, Cooleo, they were there in the morning and Donald Duck and Goofy were there later in the day.

    I agree with Leo, love this last set. ; The stormtrooper with the Princess autograph book is great!

    ; he comes off as very nice in person too. ; I met him at a Chicago Comic Convention when the first GI Joe movie came out and he took the time to actually talk to his fans rather than passing them off as a quick buck. ; I still have Star Wars Weekends on my must do list in the next couple years (although it really looks like 2014) and these photos are not making the wait any better...

    I did a Star Wars Weekends theme on Flickr this week.

    Now there's something you don't see every day

    I don't know who was more excited, Snig and Oopla, their little clones or the mother of the clones.

    Great stuff Dennis! ; Just gotta love the look on Snig's face, you wonder who he is making eye contact with?

    Thanks!

    I have several shots of the Snigs and Ooplas and they're all like your typical group portraits: ; everyone is looking in a different direction.

    A week ago I posted a bunch more photos from Star Wars Weekend to get people in the mood for the impending Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando.

    My favorite villain, Zam Wessel

    Not tonight, dear

    Another villain, Asajj Ventress.

    She's bad and she knows it

    Yet another villain, Aurra Sing (notice a pattern here?)
    [​IMG]
    Is this one worth it?

    Jedi master Plo Koon

    Here, let me fix that exposure

    No idea who she is, but she's cute.

    Is this the infamous TK-421?

    For most of these parade shots, I tried a new (for me) technique: ; I used the 70-200 2.8 lens wide open, mounted a four-stop ND filter and used a flash set for high-speed sync. ; I think it killed some of the worst shadows caused by the terrible sun angle while keeping the shallow depth of field of the wide aperture.

    Great stuff Dennis! ; I still hold out hope each year that I may make it down for this!

    ND filter, eh? ; Nice idea as it was extremely bright. ; The fill gave characters sparkle in all the right places.

    Great shots indeed. ; I am really going to have to try and catch that parade this year. ; We always are busy doing the shows with the stars that are there. ; I must say that they are all very enjoyable, and loads of fun. ; That show that started with the storms troopers enjoying the park this year was awesome. ; The show with James Arnold Taylor doing all 200 of his voice impressions was incredible. ; Ray Park is always interesting, because you get to see how amazing a martial artist he really is.

    Thanks, guys.

    Jeff, you can see all of the stage shows AND the parade in one weekend. ; Since there are no stage shows during the parade, and the shows are pretty much the same from day to day. ; So you just sacrifice the mid-day show in favor of the parade.

    And I agree, the stormtrooper skit before this year's Stars of the Saga show was the best one I've seen.
