I'm well aware of the Vader effect... and I am envious of it.

[Dargas[501st]]

last night I was asked:

 

are you able to do... pushups in that... thing?

 

 

tha point in the question was the look in her eyes! jajaja

 

another question was... can you go to the bathroom in that?

 

and finally:

 

is that a saint bernard dog type of first aid kit? (meaning to the thermal detonator)

When I was doing AT-ST back in '03, no one knew who I was, some little boy asked "Is he a janitor on the big planet ship?"

Yeah, unfortunately, that is a character that didn't get too much screen time

I liked it, but didnt have a lot of resources to work with... the helmet was the hard part. Had a prop-maker buddy of mine create it and paint it for me... that friend moved away and I moved away, so I have to find new prop-maker friends where ever I PCS to.

Nice guys know I have a reason for needing to get my armor done. Im also gonna carry a pen and paper so I can get some girls numbers. Any one else have any stories

LOL this is great! ... last year at the Convention center for SFX 2006 my dad saw a couple of troopers out front and he said to me " Look Chewbacca". In fact it seems to me that regardless of weather its Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper or even someone dressed as Princess Leia, my dad always seems to think its Chewbacca

Haha, some funny quotes. I went to WalMart yesterday and heard some people refer to me as Darth Vader though

I didn't think you had any armor yet?

[jmgordon7]

I was trying out my friend's armor. Check out the Field Training Exercises sub-forum for pictures

On Halloween I had a few kids refer to me as a Transformer. It was funny but it seemed like the little kids knew what I was better than the little bit older kids. And alot of high school age kids are totally clueless. Just seems that there is a resurgence of Star Wars fans. There is part of a generation there that was completely lost. It skipped a an age group or something.

[Jehudah Design]

I noticed that too here. Last Halloween there were lots of kids here and the smaller ones knew Star Wars alot better than the older ones.

 

And what they called me.. They simply called me "Star Wars", allthough some of them actually knew I was a Stormtrooper, not bad for kids that small.

[ItsThatGuy[501st]]

Yep, Star Wars, Power Ranger, Star Trooper, robot...

 

A buddy of mine was wearing his Ep. II clone (blue and white) and someone called him R2-D2!
