I'm walking out of the student union. I've just been at a 2 hour meeting, one hour longer than expected. I'm rather pissed becuase I need to get home to write a 5 page paper that is due tomorrow morning.

Suddenly, I see a guy with a black leather jacket...patches all over it, none which I can really read...but there is one that stands out.

http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/thumb/1/16/Clone_Army_patch.jpg/115px-Clone_Army_patch.jpg

I don't know if any of you guys know that symbol, but I sure as hell do. Kind of chuckling to my self and desiring one of my own I walk out the door and almost run into Jango Fett.

I am so f*cking confused. I look around, and there are stormtroopers all gaurding the front door to the union.

I'm like, "have I f*ckingdied and gone to heaven?"

Now, if I wouldn't have been so goddamn busy this week, I would have known that Heart of an Empire was selected by the Wisconsin Film Festival and was showing here tonight.

My camera phone has no flash and its 8pm, so I run home (half a mile after recently finishing a Chipotle burrito only an hour ago) grab my roomate and tell him to stop watching hockey and drive my ass back to the Union with my camera.

So, this was probably one of the coolest things ever. It was a great juxtaposition of worlds, coming right out of my daily life and stright into SWland. I'm crushed because instead of actually going to go see this movie, which I felt bad after taking picutres with all the guys telling I had to go, I'm back home writing a paper. My fault I guess, but this whole experience ****ing awesome. I talked to Jango and one of the stormies for a while, I didn't try speaking mandolorian and coming across as a total nerd. Oh...and the costumes were awesome, most of the guys had mikes integrated into the helmets too.

I will post pics later.

And also...I want some damn armor, but I'm going to start with some patches for my jacket.

Sweet. Sounds far out...although I probably woulda just watched the hockey game . It's a Canadian thang.


btw...I posted a reply to your last post over at the Holy forum.


...and I'm glad to hear you didn't start talking mandolorian!

We have a holy forum?

But OMG its Star Wars. Sorry this was just so cool.

I must admit the funniest part to me was Jango telling me to "get on your knees."

I know its a trip post, but whatever.

That does look pretty cool actually. You musta felt like you died and went to heaven. Looks like somebody answered your prayers

Closest thing I can relate to was when I was working at a supermarket and they had a life-size Yoda for promotion from Lay's/Pepsi...only 250 made. I drooled over the display every day I worked.

You got entered with a store discount card, and some old lady won it and didn't even know what it was, so she gave it back to the store. I had shown previous interest in case the winner didn't wanna claim it for whatever reason...and so the store let me buy it off them.

My friend called every other one of our stores in the city to see if the winners from each store had claimed those Yoda's...and of course they had. I was convinced...the force made it possible (or something else).

Exactly how I felt. I honestly would have had the same initial reaciton if an Angel came up to me.

But the best part was, I wasn't praying

I have to learn how to make some beskar'gam (armor)...

Jango's jetpack looks a bit small, but great pics!

Jango looks a bit small

There was a scout trooper who was at elast 6'4"...I was like...aren't you a little tall to be a stormtrooper?

Jango is shorther than I am , and I'm 5'9"..and that was with his bucket on.

It was really funny seeing all the people come out of the theater into a mass of stormies bearing E-11s. Some great wierd looks

I bet. Cool.

awesome and great pics!

i wish i'd come across similar occasions and such like....

Well, apparently we all get one somtime.

I hope when I die there are many more clones.

There he is!

Has there ever been a "show off your SW collection" thread? Or is that incredibly nerdy?

...and I don't mean just putting up whatever, but unique stuff like this signed box set.

Or throwing in stuff like what happened to Alliance. Could be cool

No, and it is. But still fun.

That would be awesome! (what happened to Alliance). I wish something similar would happen here, but Waterloo isnt really a Star Wars place

What is outside the USA?

The 501st is in many countries...40 I think? It could happen.

Hell, I wasnt' expecting stormies at the Union at 8pm on a Thrusday.

...but then agian...Chad Vader was filmed 3 blocks from where I live... osama

I will have to keep a look out for something...anything.

This can never happen in my country, i have to move.

I wanna move to Germany, think anything will happen there?

Why Germany, what is so special about this country?

I don't know, I just have always loved Germany.

The problem with Germany is, that it has to many Germans.

Yeah, it is about half the size of Texas with abouy 80 million.

Well Ok, it also has allot of Turks, you know how fast they breed.

Its sad actually.

Germany is a popular place.

Why, what does it have, to make it popular, fattest people in EU.

I don't know, I just feel more at home there than in Canada.

It would happen here, and i know the schedules, but i don't go just because i have no idea how to get there.

WE WILL HAVE NO bashing of Turks in this thread.

Why, Turks drink allot of coffee, mwhaaaaaaaaaaaa(evil laugh).

That laugh could use some work.

As could the nationalism

He is German after all.... makes you wonder of he can help it at all.

I can help anything I want. 131

Yea, right.

Says the one who can't spell.

I can spell, try some tough word on me.

Like...Entschuldigung?

Except that one.

lol

I win.

The only German I know is related to developmental biology.

You should broaden your education.

No, it was a stalemate the judges said it was a draw.

I am the judge.

I don't know what all this means, and I dont want to go back to biology class just yet.

You could always look it up, or take classes on your own time.

Yeah, do you have a dictionary that lists "belly piece"...because thats one I'm acutally supposed to know.

What would you need that for? I was never good at Biology...

Its developmental bio. Many crazy germans.

I wanna be ther now, Germans make me laugh. ermm

Well they're all dead.

oh

What did you do!?

Nature took its course.

I should have guessed...

its does that from time to time.

I d'unt get it.

You're not supposed to.

Maybe Alliance can use his weird logic and explain it to confuse it even more.

If your maker had installed a logic chip...maybe that would help...

Come here and let me deactivate you.

HE's a clone, not in the business of creative thinking or explaining. Just obeying.

queeq isn't a droid and he didn't understand.

You will be dead before you get within 100 metres.

I give out the orders, I was installed with more things than pretty much every other droid, like intelligence, the ability to think on my own, etc. etc.

To think of new ways to pleasure your masters.

Dunno, I'm not into metal that much.

I am the master.

Hahahahahahahaha, GG always has masters, which boss him around.

Yeah, he might, but I don't.

hahahahahahah, your even more pathetic then GG ever was.

Umm...says the one who likes an armless, headless Jedi...ermm

He is a Sith and he had all his body parts, most of his life.

"Clones can think creatively, you'll find they are immensely superior to droids."

So, GG is a bodiless, burned and useless pile of metal.

He still has a body, and a head, can't say that much for Dooku though...

When?

Lama Su, in the cloning facility on Kenobi's grand tour.

Haven't watched AOTC in a while.

Shame.

Understandable, but you are right.

THey are docile but creative to find alternatives to complete their orders.

I wouldn't exactly call them docile.

Why not? Docile fits.

How can you consider agenetically engineered soldier to be docile?

War is a way of life.

Because they were easily managed.

Complainace does not equal docility.

They had to be easy managed, its better that they can immediately take orders and react, then to take time, its better for the war effort.

Exactly.

Hence Docile.

Nope. That was the jump that landed you off the cliff.

How so?

How doesn't it make sense?

If someone follows orders, that does not make them docile.

Docile is where they are easy to manage. The Clones were pretty easy to manage.

No. And easy to manage does not equal docile. Clones can be exceptionally violent.

You edited...

They can be violent, but they still have to follow orders.

"have to"

That is what I said.

They don't "have to"

Yes they do. They follow orders without question. That was the point, order 66 proves that. There is no sense of personal loyalty or justice to clones, they just do as they are told. They are only violent when ordered to, or when the goal asks for it.

Exactly, clones have to follow orders, same as droids.

I'll keep my knowledge to myself then.

Please do.

sly

Hehehehe
