I will Be dueling,
I don't really care how many I do, whatever you guys need
Luke Skywalker Farmboy and a generic Jedi
I will be buying a saber from Bryan

 

Can't wait for dueling to begin!

I will be dueling.
I would like to participate as much as possible.
I have a generic jedi costume, blue twi'lek jedi, flesh twi'lek jedi, and will have a pilot costume by that time.
I have a lightsaber.


Greg can be used as jedi fodder if you just need bodies (with or without a lightsaber).

 

Princess Leia wil get a chance to duel!
Getting to dueling practice will be difficult for me so limited dueling for me - whatever you need for the script and story to be complete...
I do not have a lightsaber and would prefer to borrow one. Would go in on group order if price is right... or if someone else is selling one...

 

I will be dueling.
I would like to participate in 1 to 3 duels.
I will be Nihilus. I fight Jedis.
I have a lightsaber but I want a new one for this event.

 

Lets Do This!!!!!
I will be dueling.
I will do as much or as little as you all want me let me, or need me to do.
I have Count Dooku, and I can have my Plo Koon, Random Sith Costume(if dont need a face Sith) and can probably do a Wookiee Jedi if need be
I have a plethora of sabers and expect to be getting 1-2 more and my Dooku Retrofitted.
I also have extra Bokken or 2 if needed for practice by anyone.

I may be able to rustle up a few new recruits that have been on brink of joining.

 

I'm in.
I can duel as a non-specific sith and can do so as I'm needed.
I'm without a dueling lightsaber currently, but would be interested in the group order.

Also, Boba is available for whetev. Hopefully with an abundance of new/upgraded loots.

 

I am going to be dueling.
I would like to duel in as many as possible
Obi-Wan will probably be ready by then
Probably buying Dan's blue one unless we put in a group order or something

 

I'm in for dueling as much as you need me.
Jedi with his own lightsaber
I have a Sith costume if needed for someone, they'll need a red lightsaber

 

I will be dueling
I would like to be in 2-3 duels
I have one Sith costume (for dueling, will be in Guard costume during the game)
I have a lightsabre, but will most likely have a double bladed by March. So up to 3 (counting the double-bladed un-coupled)

 

I would be available for a non-dueling Jedi role after we pack up the table.

 

Updated the list with everyone who's responded thus far. Thanks guys! Keep them coming!

Anna - right now Leia's only scheduled to duel in the final duel, as well as deflecting some blaster bolts (which pretty much equates to just swinging the lightsaber around at air). We'll make sure you'r accommodated.

Elaine - Since Non-dueling Jedi will need a lightsaber for deflecting blaster bolts, do you have a saber you could use, or will you need to borrow one?

 

Sounds great Bryan! Thank you!

 

Will do whatever is necessary. Hope to have a Jedi costume ready, perhaps I could work on a Sith also. will have to borrow a weapon.

k

 

Updated the list. I've added Greg (Michelle's husband) whom I had overlooked before, as a Non-Dueling Jedi.

Michelle - belt aside, does Greg need anything else done to finish up a Jedi costume? Also, he will need a lightsaber. Will he have one or will he need to borrow one?

 

I will be dueling.
I would like to duel as much as possible.
I have my own lightsabers (Sith and Jedi) and I will gladly fight on the side of the Sith since I know we are light on the dark side (wordplay intended!)

 

Count me in to duel as Vader in the final battle and I have my own saber.

Mindy is talking about duelling in her Jedi. Would need to get her a saber.

 

Greg has a finished Jedi Costume (except for a jedi belt--he currently uses a plain brown leather belt). He will use my extra lightsaber.

 

Thanks for the info Michelle.

Updated the list with Greg's info, and added Chris and "Darth Wordplay."

Also marked participants who need lightsabers in blue.

 

So I've been talking to my buddy, and he's definitely in for this.

Joe Fratello
Will be dueling
Would like to be in at least 2 duels
He will have one Sith costume. May need a belt, but has boots and gloves
Will have a lightsaber (Will probably be using my curved PVC hilt, if not purchasing one of his own)

If he gets a staff, he and I would like to work something out for staff on staff against each other (so possibly the 4 "last one standing" if there's room)

 

Yes I will be dueling. As Anakin. Would like a new saber for show that does NOT go out.

 

Added Lisa to the list.

Chris B.: I'm going to wait on adding your friend Joe only since he's not currently a NR member. If he gets on the forums and wants to come to other events, I'm sure we'd all love to have him as a member. I remember there was just a concern last year about bringing in people from outside the NR just for the sake of dueling (with the only exception given to 501st/RL people who wanted to come participate).

 

OK the sides are getting a lil lopsided with the jedi pulling ahead..... Not that I am scared of the pesky jedi...... Im just sending a shout out to my fellow sith to step up... or out and represent.... Dont make Dooku have to force choke a B

 

Oh actually a question this time.... Do we put in for who we want to duel with (like I want to slay the twin sons of Losey) LOL or is the producer and dueling choreographer doing that with who will work well with each other. Sorry getting old and dont remember if was officially said at meeting

 

Other than the involvement of a few face characters, nothing has been set in stone yet.
