Local MB Carolina Garrison troopers couldn't attend opening night but trooped the Sat. morning matinees for TFA.

501st Troopers present:
Jeff Miller - TD13167
Greg French - TI-4734

Rebel Legion
Chad Varn - Obi Wan

Others Present
Justin Branfuhr - working on 501st Vader - Invited by the Theater manager

We arrived at 9:30, suited up but 10:00 and got to work.

The theaters weren't packed but we were definitely a hit for those who were present.

Management gave us the run of the place, set us up in a private room for dressing and storage and asked us to walk into a few of the theaters. Local news showed up to film the event for the evening news and their web site.

...because we all know Sandtroopers are dirty because they do all of the hard work...

And Santa was just around the corner so we stopped by. He said, "You guys will be stealing the show from Santa today..."

Is that Santa Perry, who Greg and I met at the Charleston AFB 3 years ago?

That does look like Santa Perry from a few years ago. I wondered that too.

Great job troops! You all look great at the premiere weekend. Great pictures
