Welcome, Nickel! Nice to hear from another stormtrooper! It's so cool that so many garrisons from the 501st are doing this with Al. So much fun to read the stories, and see pics and footage. You're right, this is a cool forum and group! Glad you stopped by!

yea, it's really a nice addition to the show. I want to see another one (and actually get to see more of the show)

I have to say I was very impressed with Al after the show. He let us hang out for a while, ask questions, take tons of pictures and get some things signed.

I was surprised with how quiet he was. I expected him to be more outgoing. I guess after being on stage and doing what he does best, I would be a little reserved. He did seem a little "shy" for lack of better terms. A super nice guy.

Im still excited!!

Hello Mike F!!!!

I was with Mike!!! I was the stormtrooper next to Vader on the right. I was actually out looking for additional footage. If anyone has any, that would be sweet. It was amazing to be in the show... something I'll always remember. I grew up listening to Al, and it was a treat to be a part of his history.

This looks like a pretty cool forum and group.

I have a little bit of footage - only snippets of 1 minute at a time.

I also have some nice head-on shots showing everyone but the first one on the left behind Jim. I'm working on the pictures now.

I'm wondering if fred got any good photos, or if she was down too low in the "pit".

Thanks for the Video, I have some footage as well and may post it. haven't decided yet..

Anyhow, Darth Vader was freaking TALL!! he towered over everyone! lol

This was my first experience with the Troopers, very cool addition to the song. Fun to watch you guys (And great costumes too)

That guy is actually 6' 8" tall, and he's a cop in Clayton. I don't think you want him pulling you over for speeding.

or without a cymbal! Mine look like he was "censored" - big dark gash across his puss.

Were you at a good angle to not get the cymbal-censor?

Good luck with finding his eyes! I don't think I've ever had one. I just hope for a tilted cymbal and MOST of his face!

I can't wait to see more pictures!!!! I had so much fun and the pictures are good memories.

If anyone has any video footage (particularly of the Saga Begins) I would be most interested in seeing it.

I'll let ya'll know when I get my pictures uploaded.

I've been pretty busy since I got home from the shows, so once I get a moment, I'll get them posted
