Cops take down a girl wearing a Stormtrooper suit on May 4th in Canada b/c someone called and said she had a gun. She says she is a 501st member, but doesn't know if she'll ever want to be a Stormtrooper again after this. No name at the moment but maybe someone in Alberta recognizes this 18-19 yr old 501st member. Would be very cool if the 501st banded together to replace any parts of her suit, helmet, or e11 she had to toss down on the concrete. I'm sure it scuffed the hell outta her outfit when the cops held her down. Thanks guys!
VaderFanLives Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Posted May 6, 2020 This post might not be the best forum category for this post, so admins, please move it to where ever it'd be the best place for it. I realize now this is more for getting started on builds rather than getting started "here, on the forums" lol. sry.
starsaber25[Admin] Posted May 6, 2020 Report Posted May 6, 2020 Hi Greg. Thank you for your post and I think I can speak for many that your ultimate gesture is positive. However, this video has created some negative feelings when it got posted on our Facebook Page. Some of the news out there is speculative at this point. The facebook posts have since been taken down. I am going to lock this down from comments and if people contact you personally and this is something you would like to look into then by all means do so. 2
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 6, 2020 Report Posted May 6, 2020 Well, all I can say is looking at that armor she was definitely not a member of the 501st Legion. While I honestly appreciate her enthusiasm, no GML in his/her right mind would pass that kit even at Basic approval. . 1
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted May 6, 2020 Report Posted May 6, 2020 All accounts that I have heard are that she is not a member. 3
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 21, 2020 Report Posted May 21, 2020 So in keeping up with what happened in Lethbridge Alberta on May 4th, updated signage from the pizza cantina. 6
