Hello everyone. Just settling in from ECCC and would like to share some photos of my Rae Sloane so far. I will still need to find knee high boots and a better way to fasten the collar pins. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
So I had an idea to cover up the coffee logo. I'm planning on cutting up a comm pad to make the 'thermal beverage condensator control'. This is just a mock up with a extra scout snout.
I had the honor and pleasure to represent the IOC at last Saturday's red carpet event at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood! We found out last week those in the California and guest garrisons that would be going to the Premiere, and learned late Friday that I would be allowed to wear my Warrant Officer throughout the program and after party as I had requested. I was stoked! Between 501st Legion, Rebel Legion, Mando Mercs, and Saber Guild, we had 120 uber fans, most in our patch jackets and swag, and about 14 of us in costume. The pre-Movie event was standing during the red carpet show, meeting stars and directors, and having an amazing time! I met Kevin Smith, watched Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion give an interview 2 feet away from me about the Star Wars universe, and got to see numerous stars from the film, like Donni Yen, who signed my pass!
At show time, we were led into the theater, which was beautiful, and up to the assigned seats we had on the Mezzanine. No spoilers, but the film is fantastic, and gives me a new perspective on the Disney/LFL team. It is THAT good. Officers, Naval Troopers, Gunners, and TIE Pilots are all featured heavily, and there's some new badges and officer configurations open to us! OBVIOUSLY, SEE IT.
After the film we were free to take pictures, walk the red carpet, look at the costumes and the MASSIVE XWING that was shipped from Pinewood Studios after being used in the film (and that will find it's home at a certain Disney Park.)!!!!
We then made are way to the after party in Avalon Ballroom, which was AMAZING! DJ was spinning 80's music and they were serving cocktails and champagne and lamb. There were photo booths to take poster pictures, and all the Legions were laughing at getting the night off and take pictures with Disney employees dressed as Shoretroopers and Death Troopers! This was fun for me especially since I was the only on still in uniform, so I got to take advantage of the props and sets! An hour until they were going to kick us out, I found the back tent where the 1:1 TIE FIGHTER BAR was located! I got to drink and talk with Gareth Edwards, and the editor Colin in depth about the film and they were interested in our impressions! Legion friends and stars mingled, and we were amazed at how polite, accepting, and humble the SW Film community was! This will be a hard event to get over! For the Love of the Empire, Biscuit
