A Force Full Christmas

I had the opportunity to help out the 501st Legion on their Toys for Tots drive this year.  They did all the work and I got to take some fun pictures. 

For a donation to Toys for Tots you could have your picture taken with a Star Wars character.

The Emperor and C3-PO at the departure gate for at the Space Port.

Some of the rest of the gang shows up...

Swapping Solo stories...

Trying to explain how he lost his speeder to a fuzzy little teddy bear.

Even protocol droids get checked by the TSA.

He really didn't want to go through the new security checkpoints.

A trooper enjoying the extra attention from the TSA check point.

Somehow these kids managed to get into the pics... they seem to do that a lot.

 New issue for the TSA.

The upgraded TSA weapons of choice.

 

Don't even think of trying to bring more than 3 ounces of liquid onto this space craft!

They confiscate my fingernail clippers and he gets THAT through security.

 Oh sure we have to go through all kinds of hoops to get on board, but not him. Guess there really are special rules for the ruling class!

Who knew the Emperor was a ladies man!

"I really don't know what George was thinking with the added effects in the director's cut... I liked it the old way."

Check out the 501st's site... great bunch of fans.   501st Home Page
