Reporting from the UK

These are from the London MCM Expo that I attended over the weekend, unofficially since my Jawa hasn't been cleared yet (but I couldn't wait!). We didn't have a dedicated photographer so that pics aren't that good or varied. I was roving around with friends and so missed the RLUK's larger group shots, alas!

It was great fun, and we were all up to no good as we mischievously 'stole' from people, scavenged the bins, and teased the Imps on duty. Now I just need to get myself a bigger blaster...

With two other Jawas from the Elstree Base (I'm the one on the right)

Oooh, shinies!

In the changing area with Eric, a Jedi with the Elstree Base

I believe Ben Boo (Singapore, wants to join 501st, studying at RCM) was there, together with MachineGun Unuma (Thai teenager). So many people were there!

Edited the thread title so I don't need to start a new topic every time.

This one's long overdue: MCM Birmingham on 22 Nov, an epic troop with over 100 members from Elstree Base and the 501st UK Garrison, including a scrum of 10 Jawas wrecking havoc!

(Photo credits: Sarah/Dan Parker, Dan W, and Suzi Stelling)

The parade was awesome. There's a vid of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QsK7Ntc-PU&feature=youtu.be

It's quite stuffy in the jawa costume even with a fan and I'm not sure if it'll work out in the tropics, but if it does, I think I shall make it my personal mission to establish a clan. Cool

Jac,

Fantastic work!
how can I get Jealous? Elstree is a fantastic base, and you bring a bit of Singapore with you every time you troop!

hope to have you troop with us in 2015 though!

Regarding the Jawa clan : there is already one adult in the 501st with a Jawa costume, and my son is also a Jawa in the Galactic Academy (I confirm his costume is like a sauna).... you are 3 already... let's convert more! Utinni!
