ATTN: TDH - "Officer Down" - Needs Assistance

I love that feeling of friendship and I can say I'm very proud of being a (very new) member here !

just sent a little contribution and hope it will soon reach that goal !!

wishes you the best (y)
 
Dean, don't mention it. Just concentrate on the task at hand - and that is taking care of your Sister and Daughter at the moment (y)

Fett 4 Real - I pondered that myself at first. And where there is no real explanation, one just has to assume that where there are "billions", there can sometimes be a certain level of ostentation, unfortunately. I'm not saying by any means that this is the case as they are all pretty great people that are directly involved. Brian Nefsky (Casting Director), Linda Folsum, and Frank Reifsnyder. Personally, I figure that perhaps they felt it as enough of an honor to even offer to put the suit on display. And when you get right down to it, I believe it is (y)

Maybe I would think they would recognize the amount of time, money and ones self that goes into building and or aquiring all of the pieces...Maybe instead of purchasing deans suit there could be one built like for Jeremy Bullock and Donated? I for one wouldn't really want to part with mine even if it went into a display at the lucas ranch itself.

If TDH were to build a suit for donation to substitute Dean's suit , it certainly wouldn't be the suit
used in the filming of Star Tours II, which is really the point of donating his.

Ultimately, the whole nature of this thread isn't about what Dean wants, or doesn't want. It's about "need". Of course Dean doesn't "want" to see his suit go. None of us would. This thread is about Dean "needing" to sell his suit because of a huge financial burden he and his family are faced with. Dean would still need to sell his suit right now, even if Lucasfilm themselves asked to put his suit into an archive.

What this thread is about is helping a fellow brother of TDH and his family with a major burden, and realizing an opportunity to not allow a small piece of history slip through the cracks at the same time.

By TDH stepping up to essentially buy the suit (which Dean needed to sell anyway) - we're killing two birds with one stone (as mentioned in Post #1). We're getting the relief to Dean and his family that they greatly need, and we're making history doing it.

Someone would have purchased Dean's suit anyway. It would have then been lost somewhere in the costuming community. With our help, it can go where it belongs ... "In a museum". :)

I hope people follow what I'm about to say:

Another thing this would accomplish is that even though Dean wore his suit in the film and it would always be known that way, it would also in a way mean that TDH collectively allong with Dean would have a prop in the museum. I don't think there is another STAR WARS prop "owned" by an outside fan group in an LFL archive is there?
 
Chris, I'd be willing to do a girth belt. Whoever donates $70, gets it. Let Chris know about your donation so that he can verify. Once Chris verifies it with me, then I will contact you for your girth belt size and whether you want it stained ESB or ROTJ. You will be responsible for shipping cost (normally $5 within the US)

Is that okay Chris?
 
Was totally not under the impression he was going to sell the suit off at first...my fault for not being in the right mind!?!? I understand whole heartedly and I think that TDH buying the suit to donate is a great idea...and hope everything works out for Dean and his family.
 
Alrighty, Chris. I'm down. You can add it to the first post and just lemme know who gets it. Then you can have them contact me so I can get started on their belt.
:)
 
I'll look into my box of spare parts and see if i can't find anything to to put in the cargo hold to be sold in favour of Dean.. I've been keeping some stuff in case i wanted anything from the Karma thread but this will get me far better karma.. ;)

about the progress bar.. we had one for the donations for Pam (i belive) so one for Dean shouldn't be that hard to produce?
 
Thanks so much to everyone I hope to get with Dean later to get an updated total (y)

You guys are terrific !

Chris

**EDIT**

Updated tally in first post !!
