That was very generous of you. I was worried he might not return your blaster.

One very hardworking trooper. Nothing could wipe out the smile on my elder's face. I suspect the whole family is going to have to watch episode 1 to 6 again.

My maids had a better time than anyone else. I think my young one was trying to escape from Lord Vader. (That suit must be boiling hot!) A jedi, Vader and stormtroopers, what else can one ask for?

yeah, the droids were hard to find, especially if they went upstairs

bernards, glad your kids were happy. Other than finding armour to fit a 7-yr old, how about getting yourself armoured as well

My kids were thrilled! Looking at prices now. Quite a bit of investment.

A BIG THANK YOU from Starwars.sg

for sharing your wonderful collections with everyone today.

I hope the themed displays offered visitors a nice respite to appreciate your collections, among the masses of stalls selling stuff

Well, that trooper was me, so thank you for the very kind words!
As this was my first event with the SIngapore Garrison, I must say I had a blast! Even though it was kinda hot for a Norwegian trooper...

great seeing you guys there

Fatimah, Albert, Leonard, Chris, Keith, Herri, Clement and everybody else I dunno by name yet. Erm the female Jedi. Sorry the rest of the SEJA guys couldn't come along. Busy with their own stuff. I'd come in costume but didn't want to do without my other comrades.

Jacen Fett outside with Nien Nunb with the nerfs.

See some of you guys this coming weekend!

Thanks assjedi, was great to see you too - looking forward to this weekend.

To everyone else there yesterday...those I met and those I didn't get the chance too, thanks for coming! It was really nice to see you all again. We don't get much chance to have a gathering like this and it really is a good time to catch up.

Hope our troopers entertained you all! Some of them trooped for over 6 hours!

TD7620, I hope yr first trooping here was a fun one. Actually I can tell you had a blast!

I was there at the event and I must say...KUDOS to all of ya 501st guys and gals !!!!!! I thought that I had missed the trooping as I came in the afternoon and didn't see any troopers walking around but when I saw you guys getting ready with your costumes in one corner, I heaved a sigh of relief man ! As I am quite a new convert to Star Wars, I was thrilled to see the Stormtroopers "live" and I was also amazed at how "movie-accurate" Darth Vader was and frankly speaking, if I didn't see him suiting up, I would have thought that that was David Prowse under the helmet (though I never saw David before

!) Whoever is in that suit, he sure is tall ! Anyway, it was fun to see you guys posing for the everyone ( me inclusive of course, although my crappy phone camera that went flat faster than a Speeder bike ) . The Stormtrooper getting owned by a female Jedi was kinda amusing and seeing the towering Sandtrooper made me feel glad that I made the right choice of "psycho'ing" my GF to come with me to this event as she also enjoyed it as much I did

.

Cheers guys !
