That would be most cool! Have the Trek and SW folks all show up together in costume. Tradmic, could you ask them if they would be interested? Nothing better than Jedi and Klingons hanging out together. Tim can wear his Yoda Starfleet costume.


can i be a Klingon Jedi? i have a head piece...

I don't see that there should be any problem with a group of warrior-monks from a long,long time ago showing up. mischief

Wow! I'm going to have to get up EARLY! It will take me almost 1.5 hours to get there.

I won't feel so wierd about being in costume, having seen Captain Jack Sparrow on their main page. mischief

The Jedi were very well received.

I'm not sure that the Ren folks were understanding of our roles as Guardians of Peace and whatnot, as they bound our sabers. A few people asked us to use our powers for such things as influencing the outcomes of jousting tournaments too. raised_brow


SuperChill made it to the finals for the men in kilts contest. grin

Well, they didn't seem to have a problem with the lightsabers until little miss Sith Lord showed up. wink

It was overkill really. They don't peace bond them at Dragon*Con. I mean c'mon, it's a TOY! They let the little kids walk around with those big wooden toy swords but they can't let an adult walk around with a lightsaber hilt?

It was an advantage for me, as my clip broke off and I would have been forced to carry it around all day.

We must do this again, but Bellatrix may show up next time (They'll probably peace-bond my wand).

Did any of your members attend/participate in the Men In Kilts Contest? We had two entries on Sunday and three others in the audience.
