Found a rebel database of information. The staff put us through some rigorous training. The trash compactor is not on this level. I think we were closing in on the droids.

Here's most of the crew from the event at the main entrance. I never made it up there. I got nabbed by the event photographer right outside the building for our changing area. I think I will be in 90% of the team photos taken that day! All we could do was stand around while this Jedi found a new padawan. Mixing it up with some of the walk participants. I am the short one in the middle. We found a few that greeted our imperial presence with smiles and open arms. Group photo as we started our morning. I am the TK over the right shoulder of the imperial officer in the middle. The jedi recruitment was a success despite early reluctance to get close to the scary guys in white. Again, short TK.

mjrose927[TK] Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) 013 - November 9, 2019 - The Force for Hunger 4 - Port Huron, MI This was one of the coolest events I have participated in. This group had food drive. As part of the drive, they created an interactive Star Wars based story line where the participants were thrown into the story and actually had an impact on how it ended. I will definitely signing up for this event again! The Rancor they built was crazy good with moving head and jaws. It was giant puppet someone made. Great for pictures below.... The karate school team with Joe Fera and myself. Ron Zill had to bow out early. A shot from the story where one of Jabba's henchmen had his arm ripped off by Rancor! Me on the left and Joe Fera trying to rescue me before I lose an arm. A shot with the live story lighting... from left to right: Ron Zill, Me, and Joe Fera. Black and white shot of same scene above without fog. Post story shot with a couple participants. Left to right, Ron, Me, and Joe. A happy mom who wanted a pic with us.

Really cold day, but no rain or snow..... Great turn out! I am the TK just over Luke's right shoulder. Lining up to begin walking the route. That is me just over left shoulder of Imperial Officer (Al Tong). Screenshot of the live feed of the parade.... I'm the TK with the weapon holstered. Hand warmers worked better not holding weapon or prop. They had the rebels out front. Great turn out from both groups! Even baby Yoda was there..... Here is our float for the parade driven by some of the youngest participants in our group. The 501st are in hot pursuit of that landspeeder.... The Imperial march.... literally.... These guys wore the right outfits for the weather..... brrrrrrr.... cold! Not sure how those officers faired exposed to the elements. They are real troopers! Scouting the crowd. Lots of flair added to some of the participants. Got to step up my game next year. Lord Vader took time out of his busy schedule to greet his fans. Edited December 2, 2019 by mjrose927 Quote
