Everything is set for Friday if you need directions please PM me...
Warwicks people have contacted Greg today and they asked that only 501st troopers be in costume...so if the group members can wear their shirts instead of costume that will be great!
This is more of a security measure than anything else...
Greg also informed me that he has and will be selling Leprechaun and Willow posters at the store prices for the different posters will range from 15-30.00 ea, and of course Warwick will have an array of 8x10's available....
The store # is 813-654-8122
the address is 2498 West Brandon Blvd
Brandon, FL 33511
if you get lost please call Sheila's cell 813-767-4922
Signings will take place from 7pm till 9pm

I won't be able to attend the event due to a concert.
However, I don't understand how other costumes would be a security issue.
What is the difference in security between a 501st Troopers and a Jedi costume? Makes no sense to me.
Plus, I thought that this was a Fanforce event, with the 501st and Rebel Legion attending. So much for bringing everyone together and having all of us be able to wear our costumes.
I understand that this was Warwick and his people saying no other costumes. I just don't understand the difference in security between the outfits.
We are fanforce because we are fans. I'm sure that other fans will show up in costumes or with lightsabers. The only thing that makes us different, is that we are all communicating through a group.
Hope you all have a good time.

I agree with Annie...I amvery disappointed in this and it seems very strange that someone would say that. You can hide a lot under that armour on some troopers.!!?? If I do get to come it will only be for a short time..have to work early on Sat. and prepare for the coming storm.

i think the ewoks have defected to the empire! how else could you explain it? yes, i am very angry that this has occured. why is the 501st for trustworthy that us? it seems like they discriminated against us for not apparant reason. this problem needs to be fix, if they future of star wars to be even brighter. the "fans" need to unite, and stop this infighting.
remember: fight the good fight; not each other.
 please dont feed the 501st

Hello All! I must say that I was upset by this announcement as well. I think that it is not that the Stormtroopers are more trustworthy but that they clearly stand out as one group whereas the rebels (even the Jedi) are so varied. With the FanForce wearing T-shirts and the troopers in armor, the security team can easily tell who is who.

Unfortunately I will not be able to make the event tomorrow, but I wanted to make a suggestion. Anyone who wants to wear a costume from the Fanforce, Rebel Legion, or 501st should have a badge or lanyard like the ones we wore at the movie premiere. That would eliminate the security problems and allow everyone that wanted to come in costume the opportunity to do so. You could even use the ones from the movie premiere just show them to Warwicks security before hand so they know what to look for. Vampyregodz do you think you could speak to them about this and maybe find out before tomorrow if it's possible?

This IS upsetting. Fan-force invited the other groups, had I not put out the invitation, there would be no stormtroopers there in costume. I put the word out to the other groups that all costumes were welcome, and I gotta tell ya, people are going to show up in costume anyway. I for one have no intention of telling Leighann she cant dress up, she's had been looking forward to this alot. Will that be a problem?
Joe, is there anything that can be done? Remind them that it was the Fan-force, not the 501st or RL that rallied up the costumes.
Thanks

 Individually as a fan, I would wear my costume to any place I felt like wearing it unless it was a "by invitation only" type of event. I thought this was a signing opened to the public. I am public and if I want to dress like Alanis Morresett as GOD in Dogma or a quiet Jedi monk or someone who the little leprechan has bumped off, I should be able to. It is not like we are being allowed to watch a movie being filmed or in a hospital or some closed venue where there are stringent rules. Is it that Davis's people are afraid we may steal some of his thunder? Or that Star Wars fans are considered dangerous fanatics that can't be trusted? It is insulting and discrimanatory. 
I am wearing what I worked so hard to have ready for Friday night and I am going out to a movie in character afterward. If they bar me from the door, then I won't be patronizing their establishment.

hey guys, sorry i couldnt post earlier i had to get a few belts done for a rush order...This has nothing to do with Sign Here Autographs, if you want to wear your costumes please do, this is Warwicks people, we could honestly care less...I guess Warwicks people feel more secure with the 501st group...and i had Greg tell them we are all in this together (501st, Legion, TBDS, etc) it is just their request and I am obligated to pass their wishes along... I still think this will be a killer group activity, one way or another....Bert I do appreciate all your help and i will go and post on the 501st now too!
Once again, its their request that people do not come in costume except for troopers but no one will be refused admittance due to wearing a costume, its just the request of Warwicks people!
Joe

Matt has a good idea with the badges from the movie event, if you still have them bring them and wear them tonight to this event, it will show who we are at least. And please do show up in costume so we can show them we will not take this kind of treatment and be shut out like this by anyone. Again this is not a 501st problem this is Warwick's idoit people telling the shope owners to tell us not to show up. We will not be shut if we do so go ahead and show up in costume anyway, but PLEASE play nice with all the other kiddies there, remember who are and the group you are with tonight Tampa Docking BAy 1138 does not need any bad news about it. Again PLAY NICE tonight.
And above all else have fun out there tonight, thats what its all about.

I'm sorry you feel that way, SithFan1977. As was made clear in the first post, this was not the 501st's fault. We've done nothing wrong. To say, "if they dont like it, well to bad" is just plain rude. You asked "when will the bloodshed end?" Well, when you give up the attitude you're exhibiting here. In reality, you owe an apology, not a "too bad" response.
I don't think the "no costumes other than the 501st" from Warwick's people makes much sense, either. But we're just innocent bystander's here. I appreciete those here who recognize that we had nothing to do with this. We were happy to be invited. The 501st Legion holds high costume standards, which had enabled us to work directly with Lucasfilm, Disney, and high level vendors like Burger King, Master Replicas, Pepsi and others. Yet people give us flak for our standards and accuse us of being "elitist" because we don't allow low quality costumes into the club. I make no apologies for that. It our high standards that allow us, just average fans with above average costumes, to do the cool stuff we do.
