Well, my ESB Fett wont be anywhere near complete...but if I can by some miracle get my snowtrooper finished, then I will probably sport that. But I should be there either way.
I would wear as much as you can (without having to draw too much attention to yourself should you need to stop for gas), and call someone for assistance once you arrive. If you need, I can come out to the parking lot, or send someone to help.

By request, here's the whole 'Chewbacca Stole My Cooler' Story...
Back in 2004, I still lived in Colorado, and was GML for Mountain Garrison. For the annual StarFest, we heard that Peter Mayhew would be a guest of the con. The garrison leadership immediately took initiative to make arrangements for his transport from the airport to the hotel, and planned to have him inducted as an Honorary 501st Member at a Saturday night banquet.
Peter’s one request: “I’ve had trouble finding Dr. Pepper at many cities in that area of the U.S. If it’s available, could someone be kind enough to have some brought down to my table?”
Being the avid Dr. Pepper drinker that I am, I volunteered to be Peter’s personal supplier. Both Friday and Saturday, I brought him a six-pack of ice-cold refreshment, in my favorite cooler. This small cooler was rather unique, in that its colors were so bright, one could see the pastel yellow/turquoise/purple monstrosity from space. I loved that cooler. Like having a mangy one-eyed dog for a pet, I never had to worry about someone mistaking it for their own. What could go wrong at a sci-fi convention?
The rest of the weekend’s events went off without a hitch. Saturday night, we held the induction ceremony (I’ll have to dig around for some pictures), and Peter had kind words for everyone involved.
Sunday morning, after most of the activities had wound down, and Peter was on his departing flight, I went down to his table to retrieve my beloved cooler.
It was gone. Vanished. Thin air.
I asked nearby celebrities and staffers if they’d seen the cooler. Nope. I cornered hotel workers and asked the same. No dice. No one from the garrison picked it up, either. I was left with one conclusion:
Chewbacca stole my cooler.
And I know where he lives.
Yay, I've pretty much arranged my work schedule so that I can be around on Saturday, until about 4pm. Will definitely be helping out with the booth if needed. I just have no idea which costume I'm going to wear...
bah, I am actually going to be in Plano from the 21st and leaving the 25th to visit the in-laws.
flight leaves at 2:30. hmmm
I vote for Barbie Fett!
Although I'm pretty certain I'd break the Annoy-o-Meter if the wife later saw me in a picture with you.
I arrive from san antonio on friday night and staying at the red roof inn. i dont plan to be in costume but ill wear my TDH shirt incase yall need help manning the table.
