Wish i was there to add to the bunch

The3DGuy

best part are the TIE Pilots who are disabled or too fat to walk (or both!) and are in the motorized carts

motives

its not motorized carts its landspeeders

Malekyth

hehe, that's awesome! The TIE Fighter pilots are the best. Of all the different types of Imperial that file past the camera, the only fat ones are the guys whose vehicles have weight restrictions! Though they're also cool because TIE Fighter pilots are just naturally cool. It's true.

But yeah, that's an impressive amount of Nerd. It's like, an entire herd. A Nerd Herd.

I bet the guy filming was a... scruffy look'n nerd herder


My personal favorite are the leia bounty hunter "bouush" costumes. There were like 4 of them near the end. Those costumes just sum up starwars for me. I think if i did a costume next it'd be that.

Thegodzero

hahahaha that was great! Swampbug nice very nice! I bet he smelled of wampapoodoo too...

bearkub

hahahaha. excellent.

KMan

They should have rules about having more than one Boba and Jango Fett in their 'world'. It ruins the entire illusion that they care about Star Wars.

For shame!

steady

dang how much do one of those stormtrooper outfits cost??

gauss

KMan, i hope that was just a horrible typo. though i am no longer emotionally invested or interested in star wars, people who say "bobba fett" in lieu pronouncing it BO-ba make me want to kick in some teeth.

so basically i'm going to have to kill you now. no hard feelings.

Rwolf

wow clone war survivors at the back...

God, this just reminded me of the WOW movie of the bajillion pink haired gnomes...

Rick Stirling

It makes me wish someone would deploy nukes.

It ranges from kinda cheap if you make it yourself to down right thru the roof if you have someone else do it.

seantree

that was very cool. I've always wanted a suit of Scout trooper armor but the cost is too great for me. anyway, while on the subject of C3. did you see the new footage Mcallum showed? I grabbed an avi of it and it looks amazing!!! That coupled with Kevin Smith's review of ROTS makes the wait seem that much longer for me. C'mon may 19th!!!

Jes

I'm too short for a storm-trooper!

swampbug

Jes.. there is still hope. :P

Jes

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! T_T


Actually, I kill those for a living in SWG. <.<

moose

were you there tom? do you still have your pimp suit?

hehe that's impressivly.... wild.

KaosNKorruption

Yea.....ummmm....is it a bad thing to say that I was there.....

swampbug

I wish i went.. it was just 2 hrs away by car. I think i was working that weekend.. and totally forgot about it.
yo maury.. yeah i still got the suit.. just in my office on a mannequin.

Moz

I've always wanted to take a scout suit and repaint it woodland camo. I think it would look badass.

Jes

Moz, they've got green Scouts as mobs in SWG - full green, not pattern, but still nice and "foresty".
