thegreatjohndoe 39 Report post Posted December 10, 2010 Hello to all my fellow Star Wars fans. I have been a fan of the 501st for a long time. I first remember seeing you guys at the Bellevue Mall in Nashville. The only name I remember is Skip, who was Darth Vader. Everyone was extremely nice and answered every question my young brain could come up with. I also use to work at the Toys R Us in West Knoxville, meeting several members there as well. I have recently made a Jed costume and am waiting acceptance into the Rebel Alliance. I ran into two members at Bailey's on Halloween who suggest I join. When I was younger I was a boy scout and was very active in charity work. I have been looking for a good way to continue that and what better way than to combine it with Star Wars?! I also play and collect Star Wars miniatures if there is anyone else in Knoxville who is interested. I hope to get some armor when I get the funds. I decided to do a Jedi first because it seemed to be a little more simple. I mean after all, there are so many cool Imperials to choose from! Thank you for accepting me and I hope to join you at events very soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GotWookiee 18 Report post Posted December 10, 2010 Welcome! Jedi is a great first costume, it gets you in and trooping while you work on your rock star costume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegreatjohndoe 39 Report post Posted December 10, 2010 Plus it's very hard for me to pick a starting point with stormtrooping. I'm not sure if I want to be a TK, a snowtrooper, or a sandtrooper. Ultimately I would like to have trooper armor, Vader armor, and maybe Boba Fett. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coldjedi 70 Report post Posted December 11, 2010 As the Base Recruitment Officer for the Corellian Base of the Rebel Legion I welcome you on behalf of all Corellians. There are many members who are in both the 501st and RL. If you looking for armor look here do not look on ebay because much of the ebay prices are expensive. Ask questions these guys are a great bunch of guys and gals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loki 2 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 SL100 is Skip. I was also at the Bellevue Mall event, all those many years ago. I was a Stormtrooper. When was that, 2003 or 2004? A lifetime ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
