    Hi I have been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember and the prequels sparked new life into this. I am 22 and I have a firend also 22 that are interested. I see there is a Star Wars group in Rochester which was meeting at village gate or spot (both places I have been too). I live right next to them. Would it be possible to meet up with the group to see if I like it and it likes me? Post to this thread or/and PM me.

    Do you need an Emperor? I think I can pull that off, with a little help.

    Now I am considering doing the Jango Fett thing, becouse My boy Mike really wants to be Emperor Palpy. When I told him I wanted to be the Emperor he was kind of pissed (lol). The Jango stuff looks hard to do. Got any thoughts on Jangos stuff? Katie (who does amazing realistic and professional costumes *like her Zam one) said she would give me a hand.
    I think I will just pay $ for a pre made Jango helmet and then add on to it, little by little. I suck at building stuff and art work. But I am creative and have a strong will, (good looking too LOL). I don?t want to spend hundreds of $ on a pre made costume, it?s costly and uncreative. But some things many be to hard and take to long to make (like the helmet and jet pack). The helmet is what makes a Fett a Fett. So once I got that I hope things will fall together.
    I thought of a cool idea also. Because Jango/Boba were the best bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe. I could be another bounty hunter impersonating Jango (cool huh). For example a run away imperial clone of Jango Fett. I think I could get away with just the helmet, boots and toy blaster guns for a little bit.
    There always room for more palps/sids/emperors being that I think that there are a few clones anyway.
    You should make a post (in the Rochester forum) calling out Mike Blake to work with you on The Emperor/Sid thing.
    Best of luck: I still may go and do the Emperor I am not sure yet? but I like Jango Fett better.We really dont need 3 Emperor runing around. Katie told me there are no Fetts around here so this is now my 1st pick.

    Mookie is the costuming guru around here. It's his fault I'm becoming like this. heh. :)

    There is the option of doing a Clone Emperor costume as well. Some good pics are in the comics and they did do a figure a while back. I've seen one very successful clone done. And I know it's an EU character, but it's a thought.

    I did stumble upon some Jango parts on ebay but sometimes they're not all that accurate. Just depends on if you're going for recognizable or more accurate.

    Hi. Is there anyone who knows what to buy for a palpatine costume? He my fav. but there cant be two emperors. No way. What about the senator from Naboo? Palpatine is a pretty obscure character. I cant believe someone has a tie fighter helmet. I'm too tall to be Vader. Theemps is always sitting, and talking about the empire, and the dark side. Yoda is afraid of the emperor. But the rebels win. All cause of luke skywalker, and his pops. The guy on my icon. Anyone read the books about after rotj? No more emperor there. Just thrawn. I like the EU series a little. Andrew gave me a copy of Boba Fett and that was good reading.

    Hey Emps - How tall are you? Vader is pretty darn tall...that's a rather in depth costume to start out with though. ;)

    We can help you out with a costume if you want, and it would probably be cheaper to make your own robe (depending on what character you end up doing) than to buy one. Hopefully we'll be having another costuming workshop soon and we can work on people's individual projects.

    I looked up some stuff on ebay the past few days it looks good but, a bit steep right now. When I got home I tried on my old band costume which is a cape and a big hood. I originally modeled it after the emperor. Its not that realistically like the emperor in ROTJ, but if I am standing next to clone troopers and Jedi. I don?t think people will have a hard time figuring out who I am. If I do darth sid I just got to pull down the hood over my eyes and shave. I will go to the next meeting as darth sid and see what you all think. If I like dressing up with you all then I will start making a really good Jango costume. Sound good? Thanks for all the help pals.

    I'm about 6'2. I cant imagine what that costume would feel like in the sun. No wonder Vader never went down to endor to get luke in rotj. It was too hot for all that gear. He would have passed out.

    So I'm looking to be the staunch, happy senator palp from ep 1. Just need a hairdo, and some purple cloaks. I already know all his lines real well. Problem is, I'm a young guy and Palpatine is a little more uh, staunch than me and hes got different hair and eye color. I wonder if its even possible? Otherwise there are other younger characters, and masked characters.

    Me and andrew we looking on ebay at stuff for the Jango costume. Quite a collection you need. But like Vader there is only one style costume, and thats it. Vaders costumes is the same throughout, you really cant miss if you get the authentic stuff.

    I'm going to update my profile now. And go out and look for a job. hehehe

    bye
    May the Force be with you!!

    The hair can be taken care of pretty easily and you could use latex and make-up to give an older appearance.

    The neoprene is going to kill me in the sun but I doubt I'll care 'cause I have a lot of fun dressng up and running around. :)

    But if you're serious about Jango, go to The Dented Helmet you probably won't find a better resource. And there's RPF as well.

    I'm kinda bummed that I'll be missing the meeting, we've got birthdays to celebrate and new people...*wonders if her brother could change his graduation date* hehe...

    Wouldn't the Jedi Mind Trick be appropriate to get a change in graduation date from the people who planned it? [face_mischief] :p :p

    I know you are joking but, do not have a bad feeling, my friend(s) and I just want to help fans further enjoy the Star Was experience. We come to heighten that experience for all of us and not to promote mischief or problems. If I/we do cause any problems then we will leave and you will not hear from me/us again.

    Truthfully

    Actually that was just a little joke towards our Prez. Ryan, saying that I had a bad feeling about Jedi-Nitess not coming with him that day. It will be chaos with out her at his side and new members will think we are a big joke and never come back. That was the whole gist of it. Just a joke. We all tease each other and cause plenty of mischief our selves actually. You have been warned. :)
