Boston St. Patrick's Day parade

[stormtrooperguy]

The 501st and Rebel Legion were joined for the first time by the Mandalorian Mercs at an event!

Unfortunately we weren't able to get a big group photo with everyone, but we do have a ton of pics here:

This parade is a pretty big deal in Boston, so it's fun to be a part of it, particularly when it's 50+ degrees, sunny, and well patrolled by the Boston PD!

This looked AWESOME! I think we had a couple weeks to get people together form the invite, and Wampa Squad from Maine heeded the call. Next year you can expect to see more mandos backing up our 501st/RL brethern.

Thanks for having us out for the first of hopefully many great St. Patties parades!!

aw man, i fail at posting... i put up a pic with the people in question out of frame! thanks for setting me straight

 

[NovallTalon]

LOL dude there is no way you could get everyone in one frame from the pics I've seen of the event. 60+ Star Wars characters...thats just excellent, and we are proud to be part of it.

Was great!!! Temperature was very warm (anyways for us Canadians!!!) and people were well behaved.

I was the TB on the right kneeling down... Bob was already signed up as the Fett man.

Canadians were representing with 3 Rebels and 4 Imperials and 1 wrangler.

I was the most troops I ever saw.

No massive float this year?!

 

[SlabFett]

Thats awesome. I'm just jealous because The Dropkick Murphy's will be hanging home in Boston for St Patty's.

As always, y'all have an amazing turnout!:cheers

No massive float this year?!

the st pat's parade isn't float friendly... lots of sharp turns, narrow roads, and people out in the streets.

we had a hummer with r2d2 and c3po on a trailer, but that's about it.

Keep in mind I'm 6'2" out of armor. Chip, our Vader, was HUGE!

 

[stormtrooperguy]

[Madmartigan]

Sweet Jesus! He must be over 7'0" tall!!
