I killed them, I killed them all.
They are dead, every single one of them.
And not just the men, but the women and the children too.
They were like animals and I slaughtered them like animals...
I hate them!!!!

I think you costumers have been doing such a great job at the Carnival ! I can hardly imagine how you must feel in the hot sun and drenching rain at the Carnival as you distribute those thousands of pamphlets .
Good job , you all , and thanks for all the hard work put in !

JediClare - scum, still interested in volunteering? 10 hours seems like chicken feed to be around star wars! whee!
DE - so...we sign up closer to the date on the website issit? sorry haven't been reading this whole thread closely so apologies if the answers are somewhere around...can be in costume as an explainer, or do we have to clarify just in case we freak the visitors out?
though wif my baby face i think they'd just laugh at me...as most of my seniors have taken to doing so now...

Just think this way:
Would you rather SSC spend SGD40,000 to bring in a celebrity that will hang around the exhibition hall for a couple of hours for only 1 day OR use the money to organize 10 special events during the run of the exhibition?
Forgot to comment on this, but personally, I would very much rather have a celebrity around for a few hours than 10 special events.
I know of at least one SW celebrity who shouldn't cost too much to be here to promote the exhibition. GWL himself. His previous visit here was low-key, it was business-related. And he did say that he'll be here from time to time to oversee LF Animation S'pore. So he could tie in that with the promotion of the exhibition.
Maybe I'm the only one feeling this way, but I don't want to have live my life as a SW fan but never actually having met with an actual SW celebrity. SW-related special events are commonplace, the exhibition itself I would consider a special event without there being the need for more. What we need here in S'pore is a SW celebrity in town with all the media exposure to promote the exhibition. This exhibition here is the best excuse next to the release of a new SW movie (of which there'll be no more) for one to be here in S'pore with all the needed media exposure.

i don't really use topic notifications...
hey guys sorry for disappearing for so long. it's been a busy month for me, and it's just gonna get worse :S. won't be able to go for both chalets either!!  so the only way i can talk to you all for a few months would be through the boards...have fun yah?
dang missed yall for the FX collection too - would've been there at 2pm if not for my parents delaying coming out of the house. reached at 3.30 instead
really wish i could hang out with the gang!! miss all the crazy fun, but i promise i'll make time to go for any meetings after my promos in october. it seems a looooooooooooong way off. right now my life's just archery, archery comp, study, church, study, drama, church, study, drama, archery...you get the point.
JediClare's facing the same crisis as me too, but probably doing much more studying...hehe.
oh yah and as for the celebrity thing, i do wish SSC would spend money bringing down at least someone (or sometwo) who acted a pretty major role in the movies that we as SW fans would appreciate meeting. it would be so amazing for people like me who's dream is to be on the big stage one day...

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give you guyz a little update on something that I'm presently working on especially for those who are thinking of forming a group to come to Singapore for this Star Wars exhibition.
The hotel I'm working for is presently in talks with the organisers to see if we can arrange to have a special accommodation package set up especially for all the Star Wars fans travelling to Singapore.
Stay tuned for more news as we continue to work out the details for this special accommodation package. We need to get official approval for it and so on... but as of right now, we are still in the process of working this out with the relevant people.
If you know anyone who is interested in travelling to Singapore for this exhibition, pls PM me and let me know, so that I can keep them updated when more details become available.
MTFBWY,
Jeanette

How many people want a kinda Hasbro Figuring Packaging Stand for you to take photo in?
I'm talking about the QUALITY, DURABLE ones that was used at Celebration II, DC ComicCons, GenCon, WizardCon, CIII etc etc and not that crappy one used for the recent Hasbro Be-A-SW-Character Contest.

Darth_Eagle any chance of this Hasbro Packaging Stand be placed in the Singapore Science Center in conjunction with the ART OF STAR WARS event. Will be mighty COOL for each of the MySciFiFan STAR WARS Costumed Contingent members posing inside this LIFE SIZED Clear Plastic Bubble!

Yes, a date nearer to the opening day aka in Nov will be better.
There is a column on the form that states something like "Contract Basis" so just tick that one and state on the form that you're volunteering only for the SW Exhibition. My friends Jean and Fiona did that and they get to do LOTR Exhibition only during the run of that exhibition and had been most useful (especially Jean who being a NTU Lecturer and regular volunteer knows how to handle people very well) to us. 
As for costume-wise, notify both the Staff in charge of Volunteers and me first. Shouldn't have any problems with it as long as you are "useful" to us (aka help to lessen our burden of having to be the Explainer and yet have eyes wandering keeping a lookout for Photography & Video Recording Offenders) instead of a freeloader like many of the Volunteers for the LOTR Exhibition. They only came to see the exhibition for free or have long conversations with each others instead of going around helping to keep a watch on the visitors or answer their enquires about the exhibits.
Remember to think "maturely" too and not like the "Green Blob" by obeying the rules of the exhibition and remembering about the visitors' safely (physical and mental). Lightsabre Duels only belong outside the Exhibition Hall at a place with very little traffic (hmmm.....Ecogarden......) and of course nowhere near where the cars will go! Same goes with Vulgarity; it'll belong out of the visitors' hearing at all time.
Oh! Remember to e-mail or call up the Volunteer Staff-In-Charge first at least 24hours in advance that you are coming down to volunteer and not just pop up at the Visitor Service Centre. Weekends is the time when we need the most help.

I have passed the idea of having it to the Staffs of SSC and I heard Hasbro is interested in the idea BUT it's a matter of wherther they will ask help/advice from their US counterpart and do the one like used in USA or reuse that crappy mobile one as seen at the Taka Costume Contest.
From my past experiences on the floor handling visitors, they can get fussy especially that there is No Photography & Video Recording for this exhibition. And everyone want to make this leg of the Exhibition most memoriable since we can't have regular movie screenings or bring in big Cast/Crew members so got to have something special here.

How about you give them your "Taliban" speech combined with Crovus' Japanese Speech? 
It will be proven again I hope that "Sound travel faster than Light" courtesy of someone.
