Sadly my wife and I missed out on this cool event. Sure sounds like it was one hell of a fun time.
We won't be missing it for C5, that's for sure. 
Our team was in the queue, but we signed up way too late. We were in the 30th position on the waiting list or something like that. Now I know to register early next time.

Dark Lady Mara, if you had shown up on Monday morning, we would have let you in - we were taking in anyone from the waitlist because a bunch of registered teams never checked in. Unfortunately, we didn't know until that morning that so many teams would be no-shows. We did let in a handful of wait list teams that showed up, eager to get into the race.

OK, these are a little later than I said they'd be, but here are the Jedi Knight Level Clues.
For all but the first clue, I erased all of our writing before I scanned them. I wrote on the first clue with an ink pen though so I tried to "Photoshop" out my writing as best I could. The Seek-N-Find was too hard to edit though so I just edited out the answers to the clues.
First, here is the back of the Passport. The clues lead you to one of the names listed here. Then, of course, you would go to the location listed for that name to get your next clue.
Passport List of Names
Now, on to the clues.
Clue #1, Page 1
Clue #1, Page 2
Clue #2
Clue #3
Clue #4
They knew this one would be kinda difficult with limited resources so they put up a list of possible answers to use. I can't find the scratch paper we wrote the list down on, but with resources like the Internet at your disposal, who needs it anyway, right?
Clue #5
After you fill in the blanks for this clue, you were supposed to read them with some of those red and blue 3D glasses type things. Since you probably won't have those, use the letters circled in red for Vader's lines, and the letters circled in blue for Boba Fett's lines. I apologize in advance if some of the red and blue circles are hard to see.
Clue #6
Clue #7
Clue #8
If you have any questions, let me know. Enjoy!

Has anybody seen the new Bantha Tracks yet? There's a huge Kessel Run report, with lots of pictures, the list of winners in each category and more!
It's a very cool report on a very cool event, and nothing beats seeing your picture in starwars.com, right?

That´s me on the right of the image, by the way 
And, JediKnightNick, thank you so much for those images of the clues, that's a piece of Star Wars history, right there.

I can offer a distorted picture of the Padawan level SuDooku sheet. (I thought I got pics of both, but sadly, no.) Gotta say, I didn't envy anyone while handing those out...
Was that you handing out the suDooku clues? I'm just asking because if that was you, you took a picture of my fiance and I while we were trying to solve the sudoku puzzle, and I was muttering under my breath about how much I hated sudoku. If that was you, I hope I didn't break your camera. I hope my ugly mug isn't why you were only able to get a picture of the Padawan level clue...

RE: Post all the questions
|
Since I'm doubting that you'll be using the same questions next time - is there a way to post ALL of the questions/clues that were used so people like me who were working OPX and couldn't participate could see what it was all about? I know someone scanned them in, but could jawajames (or the person who ran it) post them or a link to the actual questions and such? I looked at the scanned SuDooku and couldn't figure out what was at the top.
You could then also link the site to someone who wants to know what the type of ? for each level would be for future comps.
Thanks.

Thanks JediKnightNick! These will definitely work. I competed in the Master level so I do have a pair of the blue and red 3D glasses. Thanks for taking the time to put these out there. MTFBWY...always!

Obviously, I did the Knight level, but I'm curious how much more difficult the Master level questions were too. My fiance and I were torn between the Master & Knight level when we registered but went with the Knight level because we realize that there are those of you out there who know more than us. I'm wondering if we could've hacked the Master level.
At the top of the suDooku page are several screen captures from all 6 movies. In each one, someone is getting a limb cut off. You have to identify who is getting something cut off from the list of names below the pictures. After identifying who is losing a limb in each picture, you have to put them in chronological order. Those numbers when used with the identified numbers in the suDooku puzzle will then give you the name of where to go for the next clue. I'm sorry the resolution isn't better though.

I'll have to check if I'm the one that ended up with most of the master questions for my team or not. I'm not exactly sure.

If you received an invite to fill out a web survey from GenCon about your C4 experience and thought that the Kessel Run was a big highlight of the convention for you, you could mention it on the survey.

Already did, jawajames! Where it said: Name your favorite activity, I checked "other" and wrote in: Kessel Run! I urge everyone to do the same if we want a Kessel Run Pt. 2 in Celebration V.
Let's show some support, people!
