Well I figured I'd start a thread for the cali people who were at the amc rolling hills 20 to report in once they all get a chance. They arrived at the theatre at 4am yesterday and were first in line by 15 minutes. I didnt arrive till 4pm because I had a final yesterday. But the time I spent in line was awesome. We were there in costume (yes there will be pictures) Lightsaber fights spontaneously broke out in all the lines. I was there in costume the whole time and I had people coming up to me and asking to take my picture or be in a picture with me. It was sooooo much fun.

I dont even know where to start. I was cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and cold in the evening. There was a guy in full storm trooper armor and everyone just had to have their picture taken with him. Lots of jedi not a whole lot of sith. It was a regular camp out with people listening to the radio and eating and playing star wars trivial pursuit. To be first in line and the envy of everyone else was amazing! I was sitting there going OMG Im the first one in line! The crowd was sooooo cool! We started cheering before the movie started. Once the star wars theme came up the crowd went nuts!

If you havent seen it! Go see it! Its amamzing! Forget waiting till crowds thin out! If its playing with you go see it! It makes episode one look like crap! If you love saber fights you're in heaven. Id say the last I think half our will leave you breathless. I felt completely drained as I left the theatre. I've been talking to everyone I know who's seen the film. I have to rant about it. Im in costume today at work/school and I love the looks I get. Im going again tonight at 8:30

Im sure I'll have more to say later. Im still in shock! But the cali invasion is going well. Its soo cool to be sitting next to people you've only seen over webcam or in pictures. I'll report in later.

I live in Cali and no one invited me, :( . I gotta see EP III somewhere different, no one save three people dressed up, up here. Though the crowd did go nuts when the movie started, it was great.

Hey everyone. I'm a frequent over at the Replica Props Forum, but first time here. I was the good old movie suit Stormtrooper at the AMC Rolling Hills 20 in Torrance, CA. I'm hoping those here that may have taken som pictures of me can pass some to me as well. I am willing to purchase them if needed. This was my first public appearance in the suit so I hope I fared well.

hey its the resident stormie!!!! You rock dude! Your first public appearance went really well! What would a star wars showing have been without a storm trooper. btw Im the one you saw again today in the line and I gave you my email and I have your email and number.



and as for the rest of you Ca people we invited everyone and no one ever asked where we were gonna be to meet up with us. We've been talking about the cali invasion for months!


there were a lot of people dressed up or in their own idea of a sw outfit. Lots of lightsaber. Lots of hype. It was a great experience. I'd see episode three there too. Unless I find someplace better.

I think, for EP3, Seattle is the place to be!!!!


And here is my argument why:

I passed by the AMC Cinerama yesterday afternoon; now, the Cinerama is an enormous one-screen theatre; 68-foot wide screen and digital. Next to it is a nice big parking lot.

When I passed by the parking lot, I was met with a gathering of The Fans; Jedi, Sith, bounty hunters, you name it. There was music, games, lightsabre battles, newscrews, and the works there; there was a regular galactic shindig goin' on, and I must admit I was a little jealous of those people.




Regardless of where the next invasion is going to be however, I will be there, mark my words.

May 17th, 2002, 01:15:24 AM
Hey it was nice to meet you Live Wire. I had a great time in the costume the other night. I felt like a celebrity :lol

If the one dressed as Padme is a member here, please ask her if she can forward me any photos. Her costume was "Most impressive..."

I was still missing a few pieces to the costume, but I think no one noticed too much :)

Well I'm in Torrance, so if anyone wants a photo shoot or anything LMK. I'm working on a few other costumes and can help others in need. I'm also a huge SW toy collector and I run a part-time(aside from my full time job) toy company. I get my toys at wholesale and I sell to most people in the area. I can't match most stoe prices, but I do get stuff first.

That's it

ZF

Live Wire
May 17th, 2002, 01:29:52 AM
Yeah the girl who was dressed as padme was Ali and she posts under the name AZDaizy. If you were missing costume pieces no one noticed.

What other costumes are you working on?

Zartan Fett
May 17th, 2002, 01:40:06 AM
Well almost two years ago I got into the whole replica prop world because I wanted a Boba Fett costume. I ended up finishing it about a year ago and then I sold it to take on Jango. I started on Jango(which is similar to Boba's but there are far too many differences to mention) and I ended up scrapping that. The pistols were going to run $500 each. I hung the towel after that and sold the armor and helmet. I didn't get any further. I still wear a pair of boots by Kenneth Cole that have the same sole as the boots he actually wore by Kenneth Cole. I have a nother pair from another brand with the same sole also. I kept those.

So then I decided to do the Stormtrooper ROTJ version because I could get a dead on accurate suit which didn't need much maintenance or battle damage. Boba was one pain in the @$$ to get right.

I'm working on a Sidious cloak for my friend. I want an Anakin costume and I'm working on a Clonetrooper and maybe a Biker Scout. But first I'm doing a Sandtrooper.

If anyone needs costume help, LMK. I can help you myself or point you in the right direction. A lot of the stuff has been identified as "real world" items such as Luke's and Vader's lightsabers from ANH.

May 17th, 2002, 01:48:00 AM
LoL, hello Stormie guy!

Yes, I was Padme. And yes, I can forward you pictures! I still have 7 more pics to take on the camera, but as soon as I get the pictures developed I can get some to you.

Oh my gosh! It was soooooooooo fun! I've never been treated like a celebrity before. It was funny how I started automatically responding to Amidala. But now I think I have post-Star Wars depression syndrome...sounds funny but I'm a little sad that the waiting is over...oh well...

Live Wire
May 17th, 2002, 01:49:20 AM
I've always wanted to make my own saber.


oh you shouldnt have sold the boba fett costume!!! I would have loved to see that!

I agree with you ali....Im sad the anticipation was over. The line was so fun. I loved having random people come up to me and saying hey can I take your pic.

AZDaizy
May 17th, 2002, 01:52:52 AM
How much did you get for the Boba costume? Mwahaha...

Zartan Fett
May 17th, 2002, 02:01:10 AM
I had a lot of fun. You guys made it fun as well. I wish I could of worn my suit all day but I can't sit, I can barely walk, and under the armor is just a liatard.

You guys really made me feel better about coming out there.

Just remember, there's one more movie to go. Like I said if you guys need help with costumes LMK. I can't sew but I can help with accurate tips here and there such as the correct fabric or materials you may need.

You guys should go to Mann Chinese tomorrow. I went the Friday after TPM came out and I met Rick McCullum on my way to my car. I was so excited!

Thanks guys!

Zartan Fett
May 17th, 2002, 02:02:52 AM
I sold the Boba costume in pieces. I put like 6 months into that suit so I guess I got a little for my hard work. I was so pruod of that. Much harder than the Stormtrooper. I think I'm going to cry....

Live Wire
May 17th, 2002, 02:04:28 AM
what time are you going to mann's?


I'll be thinking about my episode three costume in about a month or so. I like to plan early. Im so pumped for episode three even though I haven't gotten over episode two. Of course if we have another swfans gathering I may just go as Live Wire again since my online peeps know who that is. Of course if we get an ultra cool evil female character in episode three that could change.


aww don't cry! No crying during star wars week unless its crying for joy.

Zartan Fett
May 17th, 2002, 02:08:01 AM
I'm going to the 7:30 show tomorrow(or today?). Its wild over there.

There are some really cool female Sith ideas in the Art of AOTC book. Crazy stuff. You might want to check it out.

I'm off to bed. I'll keep in touch though.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Stormtrooper?

Yeah I know I'm a dork :lol

Zartan Fett
May 17th, 2002, 02:09:24 AM
Hey come on, you had to fell something when Shmi died. I felt it coming on :)

I was balling when Boba picked up Jango's head. See there I go again :(

Live Wire
May 17th, 2002, 02:16:21 AM
Yeah I was sad when shmi died. And yeah I did feel bad for young boba. Despite what people around here say Im not a cold heartless bitch all of the time!

damn I wont be able to go....I have to teach class from 5 to 7 tomorrow and I'd never make it in time. *pouts*

Oooh I'll have to take a look at that book. I've always said there should be evil female characters in star wars. Though Im glad we finally did get female jedi in action this time around.

Night Mr Stormie man! Nice to have you around here! And we needed a friendly neighborhood stormtrooper. You can protect me from all the other wacko's here.

AZDaizy
May 17th, 2002, 02:18:35 AM
I didn't cry when the "Lucasfilm" logo came on...like I did for TPM. I was quite proud of myself. But I cried today because I want to wear my costume again and I don't think I really can! lol...

I'd love to go to Mann's...but I don't think I can...now I'm gonna cry more...:(

Zartan Fett
May 17th, 2002, 03:37:34 PM
Well guys, I'm off to Mann Chinese here in a few.

Anyone down for another screening at AMC Rolling Hills tomorrow around 4 or 5? It will be my fourth :)

I don't think I'll be in costume again though. I was so nervous before.


ZF

Live Wire
May 17th, 2002, 04:18:54 PM
I didn't know CMJ! :( I would have called.



Damn I wish I could go to manns. I hate work. And I wont be in town at all tomorrow. I may go back to the amc rolling hills on sunday though. Or if Im bored, tonight. :)

AZDaizy
May 17th, 2002, 07:51:43 PM
I just saw AOTC for a second time at Regal cinemas in Palos Verdes...I will never go back there again! It is a place full of scum and villainy...well not really, but there are cell phones and tweens galore! They laughed when Shmi died :(

I want to wear my costume again...but I don't feel right when I'm not in front of hard core fans...hehe...

CMJ
May 17th, 2002, 08:55:40 PM
I'm considering going to the Vista(my favorite theatre in LA) tommorrow to see it again(with my bro this time). It really depends if he's able to...he might ditch me and go with his woman. :)

AZDaizy
May 17th, 2002, 10:08:51 PM
I'd go with you Zartan...but I have a soccer tournament :(

And why are you nervous wearing your costume?! You looked great!

Zartan Fett
May 18th, 2002, 12:48:06 AM
AZDaizy,

I'm going tomorrow at 4:30. I was thinking about going later for the kids and stuff. We'll see.

All that clanking you heard was my knees shaking :lol
I was scared. Really I was :)

When I sat in line reading I just smiled to see you guys so into the films. You don't hear many females talk let alone dress up.

Live Wire, I would be down for Sunday, but I have a Hockey Game at 9:00 AM and then again at 7:30 PM. Don't think I can stay awake. You guys should see my goalie mask. its painted like Darth Maul's face.

I'll chat with you all later.

P.S. Grauman's was awesome. The Digital Projection was so clear and you see a much bigger picture. I saw all 3 Falcons this time instead of the 1 at AMC. You guys have to do the DLP.

Live Wire
May 18th, 2002, 01:14:18 AM
Well with that mask on no one could tell you were nervous. "The storm troopers not smiling!" *hee hee* And yes we chicks who dress up and are obessive about star wars rock!!!

Im gonna be gone until tomorrow evening. Anyone wanna hook up around 7 or 8 tomorrow for a viewing? (figured out I can be back early)


ooh take a pic of your goalie mask! thats so cool!

Damn now I have to go to manns chinese....*sighs* where will I find the time for all of this.

May 18th, 2002, 02:14:59 AM
Ok I have to ask... Is Live Wire as hot as the picture in her Avatar?!

hehe, j/k ;)

Live Wire
May 18th, 2002, 02:26:49 AM
lol!!!!!


I'll answer that one to save the guys the trouble. no But I look pretty good with a lightsaber and a blaster strapped to my hip. :D j/k

JonathanLB
May 18th, 2002, 02:42:52 AM
Yes, and anyway, there is something very cool about a Star Wars chick :)

I don't think I could be with a girl who hated Star Wars, it would just not work. I realize that personal relationships are more important than anything else and whatnot, but it would offend me if she actually HATED the saga, I just don't think I could deal, she'd have to change. I don't mind if a girl is totally neutral or doesn't care about the films much, so long as she is ok with me liking them, then it's all good. I mean, even Liz D. (a friend of mine) isn't a fan of the films at all but she is cool about it, she doesn't think I'm a dork for it, lol. But I'm sure she thinks I'm a dork for OTHER reasons, haha.

There were actually some hot girls at the SW Celebration, which I found kind of weird, haha. I didn't expect to see any and there were a few who were quite good looking.

I still can't get over that girl at the theater I go to, man oh man. Perfect 10. Kira is her name, apparently, and I see her each time I go. *drools*...

Zartan: I was the guy in the full length jacket that asked you to pose for the Force Lightning shot. :) It'll definitely get posted ASAP.
There were actually some hot girls at the SW Celebration, which I found kind of weirdYou obviously don't pay attention much, then - we have quite a few good looking women right here at SWFans. :D

JonathanLB,

Though Star Wars is an important part of some of our lives, you could be missing out on some special people even though they feel the way they do about Star Wars. Like Yoda says "Clear your mind..." and be who you are.

I do admit I have met some women here that even brought my attention to this board, who has a love for Star Wars that rivals my own. Great fans, but good people as well. Never change or expect someone else to change because of anyone's beliefs.

IMO any woman that loves Star Wars is great. Whether they are hot or not. Its a different feeling for me. New and strange, yet wonderful. To all those I met that night (well I was behind a mask) I applaud you. You would make Uncle George proud:)

JonathanLB
May 19th, 2002, 03:43:29 AM
I would not be with any girl who couldn't respect my love for the saga because that would clearly spell disaster in other areas. Perhaps if she wasn't into basketball, she'd be giving me a hard time about spending time watching playoff games too, and I cannot have someone questioning the things that make life fun and interesting.

I'm not saying a girl must like Star Wars for me to like her, certainly not, that is rarely true of the girls I have liked, no doubt, but they at least are cool about it. They think it's pretty impressive, actually, my collection, my fandom, etc. I would instantly assume, and be right to assume, that any girl who dismisses all Star Wars fans as geeks must be pretty judgmental and quick to stereotype groups of people different from herself...

I agree that any girl who likes SW is pretty darn cool, hehe, but... this is a SW thread, not a thread for the discussion of my opinion of what a girl must have for me to like her, hehe. Anyway, though, I would want a girl who is good looking, not necessarily hot, just good looking, smart, and really fun to be around. Those are my requirements. I'd rather be alone than settle for someone who I didn't feel was like that, though. I know people like that exist and I've met many of them. I obviously know that people are not perfect, but if a person isn't fairly smart, it'd be tough to get along with them, for sure, and if they don't have a great personality I also cannot see it working. If they're not attractive, though, it WON'T work. Plain and simple. That is what I look for in my GUY friends: personality and intelligence. If I want a girl, I want looks too. I think that is pretty obvious, not sure why some people think it's a big deal.

I checked out the site AZ posted and am thoroughly impressed the costumes... you two really put some work into it. Both of you gals are very attractive too. Wow! Unfortunately I missed the 12am opening of EP.2 and my job did not permit me to go out to Mann's Chinese Theatre. So I missed all the festivities.

Keep the pics coming... I want to see what I missed, eh!

Live Wire, good thing I kept my helmet on then huh :lol Wait, you saw me the next night. Never mind.

I had so much fun, I wish we could all do something like this again, and not wait 3 years. My last additions to my Stormtrooper will be complete soon. They I'll look and sound like a menacing white armor clad warrior of the Empire. Yeah the same guys that can't shoot straight and are runover by Ewoks. We troopers live a hard life.

There definately were some attractive women there. Since we are way OT already I won't say who they were...

You should have taken your mask off at the midnight showing so we could have all seen what you looked like.

The body suit did you no good cause all that pesky armor was over it! :p


I must say you freaked me out when you walked up to me cause you came over and just stood there like you knew me and I was trying to figure out who you were. Finally when you told me you were the stormie I was like OOOOHHH no wonder I dont recognize you. You look taller out of the suit. (theres got to be a star wars joke in there somewhere)

I have all the action figures. I have 20 Clonetroopers in a battle scene along with two red sgts leading them. Then I have the Jedi in a circle fending off... Well nothing yet. Just a couple of battle droids and super battle droids. Damn I love toys!

toys....my one weakness. *sighs* Im so jealous. Im out of room. I went crazy after episode one and Im no longer allowed to shop for toys like I once was. I used to go to TRU or kaybee when they were on sale and just start throwing things into a cart. ahhh the good old days.


Trust me mr stormie I could give ya a good scare. Hey ali just informed me that you're the one from the ticket line who told us that we could get them by card at the ABO. lol I didnt even realize it was you!!

I have to get to reading my Art of Episode II book, plus the cross sections, plus the visual dictionary, and of course the novelization. All of those should improve the experience of seeing AOTC in theaters. Not to suggest that AOTC is not complete in and of itself, but you always learn more the more you read, which is true of anything, and plus I've learned a lot just from reading forums and discussing the movie.

It's early yet, though, only seen it 8 times :D

Live Wire
May 21st, 2002, 12:53:51 PM
I bought the episode 1 novelization after the movie came out and I still havent read it. For some reason I kept reading the first chapter and couldnt continue. But with AOTC I have to have the novel. I have to read it!!!!! I think that summs up how great I think aotc is. And Im definately going to get t hat art of episode 2 book. Maybe I'll get some ideas for my episode three costume.

4 Theatrical Viewings and counting.


Hey jon I saw your statement on how star wars changed your life on E! online. Pretty cool. I was like hey I know that guy. I think its awesome how many big name stars out there are star wars geeks. People make fun of the average star wars geek but probably have no idea that some of the people they think are "cool" are just as nerdy as the rest of us.

I had a blast! Zartan, your costume was excellent! And AZDaisy yours was too, but I've already said that like 400 times. :D :)

Sil,

Are you part of the collector's club up there? I know a few people up that way, in fact I grew up on Whidbey Island.

Live Wire, so since you remember me from the ticket line, were you guys even a little upset that I told you about the tickets?

Now about the toys. I went to the midnight madness at TRU in 99 from 4:00 PM on. I was first in line and got in the Daily Breeze. I was there this time third in line from 4:30. Big dissappointment since I had everything there over a month before:(

I love the toys and always will. Toys, Star Wars and hockey is all I need. Well...

I wasn't mad that you told us about the tickets. I was kind of glad cause it gave me time to get done all of my pesky errands. But I was torn because I felt like I was cheating. Here I was doing the ticket line waiting thing like a good little star wars fan. But then I realized if everyone does that I might not get into the first theatre that they open and said screw it. lol. So no I wasnt really upset....more upset that I didnt know about it earlier. *glares at Tine* I know I seemed pissed when you told us huh?

May 22nd, 2002, 07:30:16 PM
QuiGonJ..I wasn't speaking of Jinn... A pair of sisters and I traded PM's. I believe Leia10(can't remember the rest of the handle) and LadyVader. Leia said something about her sister calling..which didn't happen. Then I spoke briefly with LV on IM a few days before the opening and was like "What happened". She had lost the number...no big deal. At that point I didn't think I would be able to go to the screening they were attending, because I was SUPPOSED to work on set and hadn't asked off because I didn't think i would go, but I weasled my way out. At that point it was pretty late in the game(like a day or 2 before) so I just took in my own screening. Besides...Burbank is more than 10 minutes away when you have no car my friend(like myself...sold my grey baby before I moved here).

Sil,

I'm sure you know Gus Lopez. He up until recently was a member. One of my friends is best friends with Gus, also a member. No big deal. Gus is a character and a big name in the Star Wars collecting community.Then there is Mr. Sansweet, but he's a Californian. He's just a whole story on his own...

There I go with the OT.

Well boys and girls in SoCal. San Diego Comicon is coming soon and I'll be there in costume. I thought about doing something razy here in the South Bay and just like walk around the mall or something. I'd hate for this Stormtrooper suit to gather dust :)

Anyone up for another screening this Saturday? AMC Rolling Hills?Graumans Mann? At my house? Well my copy isn't the best.

Also for anyone that is interested, I'm moving my addition to a thread from the RPF(Replica Props Forum) over here with my EP3 speculation. I have been throwing out all the possibilities and come up with what makes sense the most to me. I also have some unanswered EP2 questions. Continuity is becoming an issue I think.

Live Wire
May 22nd, 2002, 11:37:17 PM

I don't remember you :(

Then again I can't really see out of my helmet. I only remember a handful of you.

It was cool to change out of the costume and no one knew it was me. Even though I was wearing my Got Armo? t-shirt. I felt like Clark Kent or something. Or maybe Darth Sidious.

I'm off to E3 tomorrow morning to check out the new SW stuff. Anyone going to play Star Wars Galaxies? We all should. We will actually be in our own vitual universe. We can have our own SoCal city. Anyway its going to rock. Oh by the way I just got my Rubies catalog for the Star Wars costumes and masks. They now have the full license now that Don Post is no more. If anyone needs anything LMK. The Cargo Hold is the name of my company. Cool huh?

OK. I really don't know what OT means huh?:huh

I'm not so sure about a daylight appearance in the Stormtrooper suit. I'm a little scared. I'm still not done with the butt cannister in the back. It helps hide the elastic belt.

Live Wire, Well it was the first time I ever put it on in public and the second time ever at all! I didn't expect the reaction I got!
I went to the other two lines on the other side(who were boring since none had costumes) and I got felt up by two women who wanted pictures with me. Talk about nuts! I told them to be careful since I only had the lycra skin tight suit on underneath. Well, lets just say that probably isn't what I should have said:lol
For how cold it was I felt great. I wore it in the house once before and I was dying of heat. I was going to install fans in the helmet, but luckily it was cold.


I think I'm going to Disneyland again this weekend so I'm out. I'm still scared though. We all have to plan a day so I'm not center of attention. Wait that was cool.

Yep I am an annual passholder. Wish they would do Star Wars Nights here. Its just a bunch of the actors signing stuff and people in costume. We can wear a costume, they just need to get the actors and the parade going. I think I'm going to Disneyland City Hall on Saturday and talk to them. I need to go buy my Jango and Clonetrooper Lego pens and also more of the Star Trader pins. Man I love Star Wars.

Well as much fun as that would be, I'm a noble Stormtrooper and would never take advantage or disrespect any women of Star Wars. I couldn't lift a finger. All I can do is stand(since the suit does not allow me to sit). I only disrespected AZdaizy when I hit her in the head with my blaster. I also should have said hello when I saw her on the curb outside the theater. I'm sorry about both of those.

Zartan Fett
May 24th, 2002, 12:32:54 AM
Well I don't want to get confused between fact and fiction. I have done nothing with this suit except the midnight show. Really. The potential is there but I'm conflicted by own postings here. Its late.

I can't imagine a women wanting to undress a Stormtrooper(not referring to myself). There is so much stuff. Now me for example,I only have a 1 1/2" black strip of elastic between my codpiece and the buttplate. Almost like a g-string. If that broke, there is nothing protecting or covering, well you know except the bodysuit. But the bodysuit wouldn't hide much. I don't normally talk like this. You get the picture right? Whoops!

Ok time to stop with that. I can go in a million directions about some Dark Side stuff. So this is where I go to bed.

Well, Mr. Stormie, I figured it would be difficult to see out of that helmet. :lol I was the one that tapped (or knocked) on your shoulder plate to get a piccy with ya. That was before the big group piccy of us costumed freaks was taken.

Which reminds me... I'm harrassing TF.net to see where the hell that pic went off to! I swear, I can't navigate their site... it just confuses me! Anyways, hopefully the picture will surface so we can see it.

As to costume get-together... if it doesn't work this weekend, then we can always plan it for another time. The movie isn't going anywhere anytime soon... the theater isn't going anywhere anytime soon... and our costumes aren't going anywhere anytime soon. So, we're safe. :)

And Ali, seeing as how you live all of 5 or 10 minutes from my house, we should get together and see the movie or something! :) And maybe we can drag LW along if she can GET OUT! :rolleyes

:p

It's a plan!!!






We could even start a new chapter of the DLEC: the Drunk Lady's Excercise Club. My aunt founded it, and basically all we do is go to a gym, workout for a while, then adjorn to whoever's apartment and drink wine, beer, or whatever else and talk about whatever. I've only been to one 'session', but they're fun as hell :)

Can't go wrong with a beach house!!! And with a group of us, the rent wouldn't be too much of a hassle, either :)

Loklorien s'Ilancy
May 25th, 2002, 08:34:59 PM
Do you know how absolutely insane that house would be with the lot of us living there? There would be no end to lightsaber battles on the beach, nerf/water wars, and utter looniness; which actually sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

Instead of Super Smash Brothers Melee, it'd be like, Cali Girls Melee :D

I get tears of joy just thinkin' about it

Only if you wear your stormtrooper outfit. :lol

And, ya know what, there IS a house out on the beach front that's for sale/rent right now as we speak. And it's been like that for months now. It looks a lil rundown, but with a lil work, it could be purrrfect!

And Cali Guys are more than welcome at our beach house. Should we ever get one. Ever.

For that matter, it doesn't matter what state you're from. :p

Oooh we're always happy to have cali guys around. Of course this is the first time we've had any lol.

Zartan Fett

Trust me, there is enough of my imperial self to go around. Well you know for pictures and stuff...

Live Wire
May 26th, 2002, 12:19:15 AM
lol. Dude you are the only one! Its always been the cali girls and the florida guys. For the first time we have a Cali guy! yay!!!


You do photo ops?

Zartan Fett
May 26th, 2002, 12:32:29 AM
Photo ops? Sort of...

How about the Cali Girls take the Stormtrooper hostage? Torture him to to unspeakable things. Experience can come in handy here. Nevermind. The late night thing makes me say and do inappopriate things.

Live Wire
May 26th, 2002, 12:37:56 AM
hmm.....that could actually be arranged. We cali girls have been known to take hostages before. Of course we normally take people hostage in the car and torture them with evil music and stuff. But other things could be done as well. *evil grin*


lol you think you're weird late night??? You're lightweight compared to the rest of us.

Zartan Fett
May 26th, 2002, 12:54:16 AM
What I write and what I do are two different things. I just want so much respect and approval, that I don't want to push people away. What I've done, what I've seen and how I have felt in my 27 years would shock anyone. I'm a little on the darkside. I'm as clean as they come. I've never done drugs or smoked. I drink occasionally(ladies watch out) and I don't take many prescription medication either. I used to fight alot and hell I still can if I have to. Sexually, well I won't go into that other than I'm not gay or bi-sexual. Experienced and experimental would be best to describe that. I'm well mannered and take out my aggression when I play hockey. I drive fast and furious(sorry had to say that) and I love Star Wars more than life!!! I own 10 cats and and I collect toys.

Ok that's all. I have to be careful at my age. I have to watch what I say or do because of the people I meet may be younger. I don't want to give the wrong impression. Yeah I get crazy. Most people do, but I keep it under control and behind closed doors for some things. Why I let loose here late at night is unexplainable. I'm not a creep and I would never hurt anyone intentionally without a valid no excuse reason. I'm nice and usually very quiet.

So you may ask what Star Wars character I am most like(other than actually being a Stormtrooper shhhhh) I would say at times I can be Boba Fett or Anakin. Both with things that impacted their lives.

Before I go too deep and have to start a thread all about ME :D , I will stop.

So glad to be the only Cali Guy. Don't worry I'll try not to disappoint you Cali Gals. How am I doing so far?

Live Wire
May 26th, 2002, 01:16:46 AM
Well around here what we write and what we do are two different things most of the time anyway. We're wild and crazy on the boards but most of us are mellow IRL unless star wars is invovled in which case we're hyped, insane and on mountain dew.

So far I give you a 9 out of 10. You're definately setting the standard for future cali guys should we ever find any. Nice profile by the way and I can definately say you'll fit in quite well with the rest of us. 10 cats??? are they all named after star wars characters? And I can explain why you let lose here late at night. Okay I can't but trust me we all do and we dont know why. Its the beauty of this place. You should join one of our late night mountain dew chats. Those are really crazy. Dont worry unless you start stalking someone no ones gonna think you're a creep. And we'll beat the whole quiet thing right out of you quicker then you can say "boba fett? boba fett? where??"

lol this thread is turning into the cali peep's profile thread. Oh well thats okay. Give into the dark side! Join us and we'll rule the boards as the one and only CALI CREW!!!!!

Lady Vader
May 26th, 2002, 01:23:15 AM
YES! God made Cali Guys!! :lol

This is too cool!

And i'll definitely scpe out that beach house and see how much it is and stuff.

As to late night wackiness... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

*Skips about happily, avoiding those nice young men in their clean white coats, HAHA*

Zartan Fett
May 26th, 2002, 01:36:49 AM
Well I hope AZdaizy doesn't think I'm stalking here. I've talked to her the most and next after her is Live Wire. I gave AZ a Padme standup for hooking me up with pics from that night. The pics were not ready last night though so maybe next week.

I'm not looking to pick up anyone so there is no threat there. It all goes back to my age(I feel very old at 27). Sometimes I won't be able to say or do what I really want or feel. You guys will have to accept that.

Well glad to be here, glad to be a 9 out of 10. I'll try to stay on Star Wars, but some convesations leads me OT. Well you all know what that's like.

Lady Vader
May 26th, 2002, 01:39:32 AM
Well, Mr. Resident Stormie, I'd be more than happy to chat with ya, but you haven't given me your AIM name. :p

Live Wire
May 26th, 2002, 01:44:02 AM
lol stalker!!!! j/k. how come she gets a padme standup Im the one who told you about this place to begin with? :p



Oh come on you're not old. We've got posters older then you and younger then you and no one around here cares about age too much. Its all about star wars!


*looks at LV* he's not listening to everything Im saying is he?


Mr stormie man, nothing around here stays on topic. Check the RP OOC forum. By the end of a thread the topic has been lost ten times over. Its the way our convos around here are so dont worry about it too much. We get back on topic sometimes and sometimes not. Thats the beauty of it.

Zartan Fett
May 26th, 2002, 01:53:49 AM
Live Wire,
AZ got the standup for the pics she's getting me and she didn't ask for anything :)

Now what could I give you for showing me this board? Hmmm...

Pretty soon Lady Vader is going to want something.

Is there anything I can give the Cali Gals as a group? I don't need anything from you guys. LMK what I can give you each of you. A gift. The worst thing I can say is NO.

Lady Vader
May 26th, 2002, 01:59:27 AM
Just give me a stand-up of either Anakin or Darth Vader and I'll be as happy as a kitten. :p :lol

Live Wire
May 26th, 2002, 02:05:50 AM
lol!!! I was just joking. Hence the :p smilie. Im not in the habit of asking for things but then you wouldnt know that. But now you do. I think we're all just pretty enthused that we actually have a Cali Guy.

LV you're so bad! Dont ask for things!! No manner at all.

*slips him a short wish list of toys*

:D


We definately have to get t-shirts made now or something. Official Cali Crew member gear. *brain frys* x_x

okay that was random. Anyway where was I? (see I even get OT in my own posts) oh yes, the cali crew. Anyway....now I Forgot what I was gonna say. *brain frys again* X_X

The late night wierdness has claimed me! NOOO!!!!!

Zartan Fett
May 26th, 2002, 02:08:34 AM
Lady Vader,If I had an extra of either of those, it would be yours. The only extra one I had left from my order was the 2 Padmes I had. I sold one to a customer for $15.00 and the other went to AZ. The company that makes them, messed up my order and told me to keep the Padmes at no charge. Sorry nothing personal. I'll see what I have lying around here. If you ever want a pic with the Stormtrooper...uh...again, let me know. I hope to have an Anakin done by October.

Hey Mr Stormie are you up for a possible mann's chinese viewing next sunday with the cali girls?

Zartan Fett
May 26th, 2002, 02:20:24 AM
Depends what time.I have a hockey game at 11:00 AM and 8:30 PM. Each game is about an hour long. If it falls inbetween those times and I will not be late to the night game, I'll go. Also If I'm not too beat up and sore from the first game.

Lady Vader
May 26th, 2002, 02:25:16 AM
:lol I wasn't seriously serious... well, not terribly serious at any rate... not really... really... :p

Gotta see if we can get Ali to come next Sunday also. But I only have three tix. I'll see if I can get some more. And they're FREE! :D One of my coworkers get's free tix for the Mann's Chinese (he must have conections). Anyhoo, he's the one that gave me the tix.

Maybe we could even dress up! :lol

Live Wire
May 26th, 2002, 02:25:29 AM
Okay Im not sure what time yet but it will prolly be inbetween those times. Costumes not mandatory but are encouraged. This is also an open invite to other cali area peeps who might be reading this.

I tell you since opening night I've just been itching to wear my costume again. We need to have a big star wars party or something where everyone has to dress in costume.

You may have told him about the boards, LW, but he didn't hit you in the head with a blaster ;) I think that definately deserves a Padme standup. Which I love! I've always wanted one and now I have one! Thank you so much! Although...she does scare me every time I walk into my room. You should see the look on my face...ahahahaha...

Zartan Fett
May 27th, 2002, 11:51:40 PM
AZ,

Try to skip all my posts. It was late and I kind of rambled on for a while. I'm glad you liked the standup. Sometimes you have a chance to do something for someone and it becomes so trivial you regret not doing it. I didn't want that to happen. It meant as much to me giving it to you as you accepting and appreciating it. You'll always be Padme to me :) Unless you dress up as something stupid like a...uh....Stormtrooper:huh

We'll find a place to rent out! It would so far be myself, Tine, LD, and Sil... LW would most likely also join us. With five of us, rent would be reasonably cheap. We just need to find a condo/half-house to rent.

Then Im chaperoning the grad night for the school I work for. (so this will be my 4th grad night counting the year I actually graduated *hee hee*) and thats fun!

I don't know either; the gal I was talking to just said that I can work in any one of those hotels because they're all owned by Starwood, and all over the country if I put in a transfer.

I'm a bartender/server right now, but I'm lookin' for a full time bartending gig.


Oh, and the best part???? I get like, 95% off room prices if I stay at any hotel owned by Starwood. so a 300 dollar hotel room, for me, would be like, 50 bucks.

Anytime someone wants to visit, please feel free!! We can all go bug the guys at FAO Schwartz to let us see that lifesize Boba Fett they have hidden somewhere in the store.

This is what happens to a fan who has to pay mortgage payments, car payments, insurance payments, utilities, etc, etc, etc, and who winds up with no money for tix when they go on sale.

Okay, I'm done whining now: :rolleyes

Another thought -- is there going to be a Fan Day like there was for Ep. I? I hope so -- the 15th is a Saturday and the next day is Father's Day....

Anyone for Mann's Chinese in costume? I'll have my Jedi outfit done by then. Let me know.

I was there in Burbank, and that's where these folks almost went... I was the guy from the front of the line for Theater 11 getting people to yell like Chewbacca for www.coruscantcity.net . :)

If you want to see pics...
