I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but... ( Pictures Inside )

[Vilis]

When I lived in Portland I got to shoot the Cloud City Troopers a few times...  ( Sorry if I ever posted these before! )





A couple silly ones...







( If you read the Zahn novels, she's the inspiration for the Chiss Admiral Ar'alani  )




And I printed this one out at work hyoooooge, ( 24 by 36 or something close I think. ) then the troopers and I signed it and once they had it all framed to give to Zahn after we all had dinner one night and I was like, "Hey, maybe that picture isn't so bad."

A few of those guys are friends of mine from my time in the 501st Legion.  Nice pics!

I could swear those Imperials are in Powell's!  So very cool.

And Chryse--you were 501st? That's like having Star Wars royalty in the guild...

My trooper is gonna look like the orange one on the left.

I like it. 

I grew up wanting to be a a stromtrooper, but I have to admit that clone armor is so much cooler.

Althouh the snowtrooper might be better.  Hmmm...

Nice Vilis!

I was wondering when these would pop up again now that they are so topical. Look like fun shoots eh? I bet the passers-by at the park downtown where the top two shots were taken also stopped to take a gander at the high quality costumes.

And nice call on Powell's Mixxi! Your Portland Lore skill just went up! (95).

That's awfully kind of you, Mixxi, though I am retired now.

If you look at my avatar, that's me in my clone trooper armor.

What a terrific bookstore. I envy you Portland-ites. Only been to the store once, in the company of Talethia, Elsbet, Wystro, and Tuppen. How's THAT for mixing universes.   

And Chryse, I've been a 501st fan for years. You guys totally rock.

Lucky, lucky Vilis to get to do things like this.
