SDCC photo complaints

I am NOT in the SCG photo. i was in two pics only. I am the white mando, not the jaster/jodo looking fett that is in the BH pic.

here is the SCG pic:

2707658747_6965b3151a_b.jpg


as you will notice, i'm not in it. But if i still lived in SoCal you woudl count on me being in the picture.

legion and BH/TDH.

as for the mercs, we had a picture with the wedding thing. some of them are in the TDH photo and are not TDH members. i think only 3 of the 8 people in the pic are TDH people.

this isnt really a gripe thread, but ive asked around and several command level people have stated they didint care as they've had me in that photo before, and its for legion members reguardless of costume.

and i woudl think my costume is "screen accurate" or better. (quality speaking)
 
Interesting thread. I troop my Custom here in the UK (my Boba is not finished up yet). The quality of my custom is pretty high (inho) but I sometimes feel it is not fair to impose myself in photos as it is not canon. I troop with a great club, but we are not part of the 501. For the most part it gets a great reaction and goes down well, even if most people just mistake it for Boba, or sometimes Jango! However I am aware it is not canon, and however much fun it is this is something I am fully aware of.
 
there are hundreds of people turned down every week who's Fett isn't good enough for 501st approval

Well thats an over statement. :eek:;):p

In my opinion, if we're going to have a 501st photo, only 501st costumes, allowed by the 501st should of been in that specific photo. BUT, there should be PLENTY of other photos taken to take our non-501st friends into consideration. If a costume bothers someone so much that it makes them angry at another person because its in a photo, then they themselves proboly shouldn't be in the photo.

I can deffintly see why someone may get a very, very slightly, just a little bit upset, and perhaps kindly ask someone to step out of a photo but to ask them to make sure they got their photo taken, but to keep it "secretive" and to talk about it, while in turn not doing anything about it, I find that sorta odd and cross. Its a photo people. We don't exactly have a limit on how many we can take in this digtal age. :wacko

EDIT - Does anyone have all the pics. taken? The TDH ones, the 501st,etc.? I'd like to see them all, custom mando's or not. :)

Sounds to me like you guys (Mercs) need to have your own photo shoot. I agree with Jango 5204 100% and IMO, you should have not been in the photo period no matter who thought it was cool. there are hundreds of people turned down every week who's Fett isn't good enough for 501st approval and having you in those photos only raises more questions for them. I'm surprised any of them haven't come forward yet to complain about you being in those photos. we all work very hard on our costumes and the Legion has rules that need to be followed so for us to raise an eyebrow for your presence in the photo is understandable.

and for the record, you ARE in the SCG photo, I heard Lesley say that the next picture was for the SCG only and your in it. I will try looking for it later when I have a bit more time.

This thread really does not really concern Mercs. We did our own pic and invited anyone with a Mandalorian (Fett etc.) to take part because we do allow a very small amount of Fett costumers into Mercs. I'm not a 501st member and I don't really see why a custom would want/need to be in a 501st picture if it's for 501st approved costumes only. That would feel akward to me honestly, especially since I'm not a 501st member by any means.

IMHO though, if people had a problem with him being in the photo...someone should have spoken up and let him know from the get-go. Now people are gonna look at the picture and be like "*** is a non-501st costume in there?". If people aren't willing to speak-up at the start, it doesn't really make sense for anyone to speak up now.

Firstly though to the OP, TDH isn't the place to discuss this when it's clearly something that should be discussed on the Legion forums. Your probably not gonna find the best answers to your questions here, especially in the board for non-canon costumes.
 
ive got most of them, i thought they were all posted in the SDCC08 thread already

Checked the thread again....and yeah, most, if not all of them are in there. Looks like a bunch of realy nice photos if you ask me. :facepalm
 
actually since i figured it involved TDH'ers thats why its in here. and it looks like im right. Ive talked to several command level people and they didnt have issues with me.

BTW, the photo is NOT for approved costumes only. its just a legion photo. must be a member of the legion to be in it.

this does not need to go to the legion level as it has nothing to do with the membership as a whole. its mostly the BH'ers and the SCG since thats who is the majority of people there.

ive also received word from the SCG command that they have absolutely no isseues with me being in any legion photo in my BH.

im just trying to understand WHY people were complaining and not saying anythign to me about it. i'm thinking its cause i'm right.

And how many people who regularly use this board on TDH are 501st members? I'm willing to bet less then enough to really give a flap about the issue to begin with. You just stated that it's mostly the BHer's and SCG garrison...so why not post this on their (SCG) boards where you can get the answers your looking for from 501st BH'ers and the SCG?

You know Jax...it's probably not the best idea to try to burn down all your bridges. One day your gonna get stuck on the side that nobody else is on, and that's gonna be pretty lonely. I'd just not worry about pressing this issue if I were you. If you've contected the proper people and they don't have a problem...then you ovbiously found the answer that validates your question.

Now lets let this rest...
 
First, watch your language.

Two, this is a Legion problem, not just TDHers; you posted here instead of the 501st forums, you're only talking to the few who were there and dozens who weren't even the least bit involved.

The simple fact is that you were requested to wear your TD by your commanding officer, and you chose to ignore it saying that no one will have a problem with it; although people did. You are a 501st member, so you have every right to be in that photo, but you should have attended in your 501st costume. If the 501st photo is just of 501st members and costumes don't matter, then perhaps 501st members in Rebel Legion costumes can attend; with your logic, I don't see why not.

Look, this is not a personal attack on you dude, we are not the one's complaining about you. YOU started this thread remember??? yes, a few of us were talking between ourselves about it but chose not to make a big deal out of it that day but somehow, you think that it's okay to show up at a 501st photo in that costume when you were told not to. this is the wrong place to post this thread and this needs to be buried.

Well said bro (y)
 
ok, fine lock this after this post than. but this is not a military organization. there are no rules that really matter. i was curious of whom was complaining and now i have my answer.

i didint post this on SCG's boards cause i asked directly. i didint post this on the legion forunms cause i dont want 4000+ people chiming in on something they were'nt a part of, is what normally happens over there anyway.

I started this legion ride over here with my accepted custom mando back in 2003. So basicly thsoe of you who go to SDCC, and havnt been around for a while. its not run like Celebration or similar event. its all in good fun. there shoudlnbt be people complainign about costumes in pictures. not sure how a few custom people ruin a legion photo. the only person who can ruin a photo is yourself.

i'm not burning bridges, but im sick of the holy than thou attatude of some of the "fett" costumers out there. granted thats not all of you, but some think since they built once of the 5 accepted BH's than no one else shoudl play. i've been dealing with this since i started this costume and it will never end. So the customs will eb around forever, deal with it.

as for people "ordering" people to wear costumes. no one ordered me to wear anything. it was suggested. you cant order someone that you're not the boss of, supervisor of or similar position.

we are all hear to have fun and play star wars. lets act like it.
 
You can't blacklist Fett costumers, you posted on the Fett boards, are Stormtroopers and Imperial Officers going to register just to chime in? No.

You say we are here to have fun, but you're the one looking for trouble. If you didn't make such a huge deal out of this, you wouldn't be so upset. This wasn't a huge deal and it's not like anyone cared about you being in the photo in your custom 20 minutes after the fact. Once you found out that there were people who disapproved, you went off on a limb and haven't let go since.

If I were you I would take the advice that has been handed to you and take it into consideration, or else like Tom said, you'll end up on the empty lonely side of the bridge.
 
im not blacklisting anyone. i said a "FEW" and i was told to go find out who was upset. im not upset, im curious about WHY. as i said in my first post. it's curious to see that members who've been here a while havnt said anything. but either way...i'm still not upset, no matter how upset my posts sound.

i'm curious. there should be NO problem. but people have one. obviously if people didint have a problem with it, i wouldnt have been contact more than a week later about the matter. THATS what i have a problem with. why wait? why not deal with it at the time? nothign wouldve changed, but still, why not bring it up there?
 
as it stands ive worn that particular mando the the 501st SDCC photo ever since that mando was approved and i had a BH number for that costume.

Can I just ask, how did you manage to get a Custom Mando approved by the 501st when I thought they had strict regulations on how many media sources or films or whatever a character had to be in to be accepted or classed as canon?
