Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
Once again this year Marbles Kids Museum requested an Imperial presence for the opening of a new Star Wars movie. They set up their spaceport area and had loads of enthusiastic fans filling up their halls. In addition to 4 days of entertaining crowds at the theater, we also visited the museum to take pictures with the kids there and popped in on their board of directors for an imperial snow ball fight. We had a great presence for every evening of the opening weekend and the troops were definitely appreciated.

Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can): Marbles offered an open invitation for us to troop the last week of December. We had a couple groups take advantage of Tuesday and Friday. This was a lot of fun because not only did we get to troop the movie but we also got to go over to the museum during a very busy time of year. Most of the kids were very excited to see us and the parents were too.

Description of Event:
This was our second night trooping the opening of Rogue One and the moviegoers were every bit as excited as the first night. We had some more rebel scum join us this time and we had a lot of fun. Lord Vader even got a special holiday treat. As always we enforced Imperial security in the Marbles spaceport, took plenty of pictures out in the lobby and kept the guest entertained as they headed into the movie.

Man that gunner look awesome!


We can't get away with anything will all those officers around


Bunny Ears never go out of style


The apprentice lives...and Vader doesn't seem to care


Always two there are, but who is the master?


Mixing it up with the resistance

Wow! That looks like it was a great event. It always makes such an impact when you have all of that armor in one place. No pesky sith lords to hog all the attention means more love the TKs!

I have few pictures from a friend of mine who was in the VIP section. He's a photographer and got a little artistic with them. I added a couple from backstage too.










Shanda showing off her superpower


Kat thought it was funny to get in front me while I was taking pictures. Now it's on the internet FOREVER!

It was a lot of fun. A little bit of heat can't hold back the 501st!

Location:Northeast Branch Wake County Library


Description of Event : I was ordered to keep tabs on a suspected gathering of small rebels in the northeast quadrant of Wake County. Having freshly captured a rogue ewok I brought him along. We kept tabs on the little ones and their parents. We allowed them to take pictures and we monitored their many activities. The Imperial presence obviously made a difference since all went well.

I apologize for the lack of pictures but we had no handler and the ladies at the library were too busy to find time to take them.

Location: Chapel Hill Public Library


Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can): This was a kids event for May the 4th. We met with kids and gave them a dramatic reading of Star Wars:Colors with Stormtrooper commentary. We took pictures with them and took part in some of the other activities. We had an impromptu "blast a trooper" and kids the made paper lightsabers which they used to pound on the local imperial troops. A good time was had by all.

...and they do!

The Stormtroopers strike back!

It was a great troop. There were a ton of people and they were very excited to see us. We had an excellent mix of characters from rebel and resistance scum to the heroes of the Galactic Empire. With Fett thrown in, there was definitely someone for every Star Wars fan. I am so glad to be part of this awesome organization. I get to troop with best people!

Don't worry about being quiet Tim, you did great. It was a big troop and handled the crowds like a pro.

I had a blast. I really appreciated them buying us dinner. I have found that it is easier shooting baskets than shooting pool in full armor. I hope we raised a lot for a good group doing great work.

Well done on the solo troops. It's always nice to have a supportive and understanding wife there to keep you out of ditches and let you know there's kids running around your feet.

Well done. Solo troops are always...interesting.
