Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination

Hey everyone,
I'm stuck at work latenight, and figured no better time than now to post a few pics from the Philadelphia event Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination. I was priviledged to be able to troop with Garrison Carida for this as my first event(i'll start a different thread for that), and I can't speak higjhy enough of everyone I met. Special thanks to Darryl and Jason for making it an amazing time!! I know that many will not be able to attend, so I figured I'd share some cool pics of the exhibit:

Of course i'd throw a Fett shot in, c'mon it IS TDH. And see, Chicks really DO dig Boba Fett:



















More to follow:

Great event! Was there also a replica of the Millenium Falcon's pilot's seats?

I've never noticed your sig before. Give me a month, or so, and we'll all be fighting over who troops which event... lol... How many Boba's does Carida have? You, Darryl, Harry (???), and soon to be ME!!

Shoot me a PM to say hi then.

BTW, the exhibit looks great, gonna try to get my family down there before it closes.

Congrats on your first troop as Fett. You and I now have something in common, we have both done our first Fett troops with garrison Carida. They are a GREAT group of folks.

I could not agree more. These guys made me feel like part of the family, and there's no better Fett mentor than Darryl!!

That helmet knows that pose Scott

Good deal man!

I had the opportunity to see Lucky's Fett up close at the Franklin Institute, and though he wasnt so talkative, the suit looked amazing.
Well done!

Hey, I trooped that event too yesterday (as a Stormtrooper)! I say a ROTJ Fett, but didn't get a chance to speak to you. There were so many folks there from so many Garrisons. It was a blast!


Did you see the ROTJ Fett blaster in the case? It was marked as an ESB blaster...

i want that star destroyer. that'd be the ultimate decoration

I'll be going with my family on Sunday. Will people be trooping then? I haven't trooped yet myself.

I'm in the 501st as a Stormtrooper. Maybe by next year as an ESB Boba. I'd love to see some costumers there!

Take care!

This is coming to Minneapolis this .. may i belive. Hopefully my ROTJ fett will be presentable by then and i can go trooping for the first time =D Anyone else going? Its at the Science museum there.

How long is it in Philly for? Probably the closet it will get to me, should try and get down for it

The last I saw, it was going to be running until May 4th.

I shot up from Maryland. I hope it was not a one time deal with the 501st being there because it was fun. At diner they mentioned us coming back, but I have not seen any dates for the 501st's return.

Is there a website? I am going to plan a trip down some weekend, but not sure where it is or how to get there Hopefully get a chance to meet some members in the area if anyone is planning to go.

Great shot of Scott's awesome ROTJ Fett at the Franklin Institute!

Cool! Is there anyone else planning a visit before it leaves on May 4th? Right now I don't have a weekend planned. Would like to plan a weekend where I might meet some folks from the boards.

If you get a chance to go see it I would definately recommend going. I went twice when it was in Columbus, Ohio and I had a blast both times. I took around 250 pics between the two visits.

Great video. Awesome trooping event, and first time I'd pulled out the zam costume since D'con. Carida did a superb job, I must say.

Your Zam is AWESOME!! It was a pleasure meeting you and seeing your costume in person!!

Thank you! It was cool to see your fett. I wish we could've gotten more poses together! Mebbe some other event.
