Lookin' great!

Got a couple question about your Qui-Gon boots - where did you get them, and are they comfortable?

I have been wanting a pair of leather Qui-Gon boots for a long time, but I still can't quite stomach the $350+ for custom boots from MotorCowboy. I'm not sure why though, since I have put that much into a couple hilts, each.

I heard this guy can make you a custom pair and for about half of motorcowboy. Some people on the jedi assembly have bought from him.

Okay, I know Polk county. I'm in Gainesville for school, but home is in South Florida. I've never been to SW Weekends. It always lands when I'm busy and had commitments.

MegaCon is a big sci-fi/whatever is nerdy convention in the Orange county convention center. It's next weekend. There is plenty of SW stuff. The Rebel Legion and 501st have a prominent booth. The 501st is running an SW costume contest and a prop workshop.

He actually doesn't look out of place, he's wearing Sith robes, and tunic (black), what does look out of place, is his yellow shirt, and the Emperor is rather portly, and that's a mask, not prosthetics, that most 501st Emperors wear. :wink: :D :lol:

8) hi Everyone!!yes that black costume will be up-dated some time this year ;and;yes that was a yellow tee I have inside the tunic ;but;that was also my first year in a costume.I really like the costume I've got this year;and;next week at orlando I'm planning on entering that starwars costume contest done by the 501;so;please wish me luck guys.I'll post pics next sunday or late saturday night! this will be my first time at megacon;so;I'm really excited!!DaJoQuim 8)

Lord Maul
02-11-2007, 11:51 AM
hey X, will you have the clear saber with ya???
why won't you wear the xwing costume? talk about a perfect opportunity :P

xwingband
02-11-2007, 12:23 PM
I'll bring the clear saber... assuming with faster shipping it gets done on time. I just did the soldering for it, it's waiting to solder in the buckpuck.

I can't go with my costume. It's not physically with me. I left it at home assuming I wouldn't work on it or need it until this summer.

I'm not concerned though. With the RL there it's not like I'll be special in it. It's not complete either. Most notably I have no boots.

Keeps me free to wear the TCSS shirt. :D Then I need to figure out how to get more than two sabers there. I'll probably enlist my friends to carry them. :wink:

you could wear a robe and be like gen greivous, have abunch lined in your robe.

Lord Maul
02-11-2007, 03:49 PM
that would be pretty cool. have your fav sabers in the robe and bring one blade. then you can just swap out the hilts when ya want to :D

We've been trying to get Star Wars Weekends out here at Disneyland in California for years. We thought with the Jedi Academy coming here, we'd have a better shot, but no word on that yet, still. :(

Guess we'll just have to have another Unofficial Star Wars Fan Day again. :roll:

Oh, and to keep something on topic here, nice new costume. :)

Just be sure to keep your tabards straight and even. :wink:

C4 and the European equivalent are the ONLY SW conventions. Every other one is general.

Great costume!
I think you will have a great time during SSW!

We visit Disney World every couple months or so. We (wife and kids) are in the Disney Vacation Club. We are Disney geeks! We usually drive from Ohio, 16 hours to be exact. I told you we like that place. Ha ha....We fly sometimes. Thing is, we like to eat at Fultons so for the four of us its about the same price for 1 airline ticket.

My son wore his Padawan costume for SSW and during the opening night of Sith at Downtown Disney.

MGM/Disney Studios is VERY crowded for SWW. Even more than it is at Christmas or New Years.

Here are some pictures:

And that is an entire Imperial Walker and I think Luke's even hanging under it too.

I got pics somewhere... I'll have to go digging.

But I have no good ones of that exibit. :x

I got the top of R2-D2's dome and a couple of really dark pics of random crap. Nothing worth the agrivation of posting. That was before I got my good camera.


That's where we went on our Honeymoon. :wink:

I'll be at Megacon on Saturday (If the Delta 2 rocket goes up on Friday). I'll be wearing my TCSS t-shirt and at least one converted MR saber and I have a few TCSS business cards that I'll pass out. Hopefully my jedi holoprojector will be done, also.

Yes it is a complete AT-AT. It even shoots water from its blasters! However, you can see the "structure" from the back when you wait in line. The line flows through the Ewok village below it.

MGM/ Disney studios is meant to look like a movie set. I think thats why you can see the AT-AT skeleton from the back.

Actually, Darth Maul looked great in person. Very angry looking. He had yellow eyes. My God he had YELLOW eyes!
