So let me SHOW YOU just how FIERCE "The STAR WARS Experience" was.....
We showed up to the Franklin Institute to find a STORMTROOPER and a JAWA hanging out front on the main entrance stairs, and on the vertical pieces of the staircase, was a GIANT picture of Darth Vader's helmet (it was too large to get a good pic of):
As soon as we got in, I saw him. BOBA FETT. I almost freaked out.
So first I took this pic of him as I was all excited just to see him:
Then I gave Nick the camera and got this here pic of me with the man, Mr. BOBA FETT:
But that still wasn't enough for me, I was still freaking out, so I got one last shot of him as he was talking to his "boss":
As we waited for our entrance time to the exhibit, we wandered around and ran into the rest of the Garrison Carida. First, I saw the Jawa from the front steps, so I walked up to him with my camera and said "Ooh Tee Dee" and he turned to me and said "Tsgadadah Ooh Tee Dee!!" and I jumped. Here he is:
Then we found a Stormtrooper chillin out with the folks at the back of the (almost 2 hour wait in) line for the "Millenium Falcon Ride". He was nice enough to take a pic with me....that is, until I noticed his blaster pointed at my gut!!
And hanging out around the front of the line was one of the Biker Scout Stormtroopers from "Return of the Jedi". He was very nice. Kinda short for a stormtrooper....
Then finally, as we were gettin ready to get in line for the exhibit, we saw HIM. The Dark Lord of the Sith. DARTH VADER. One of my lifelong dreams was to kneel at the feet of Darth Vader, and today that dream came true:
After I did that, I was on Cloud City for a few minutes, but managed to get this shot of Vader ordering one of his Stormtroopers to do something before we headed into the exhibit:
I don't know how many pics I can cram into a post here, so this seems like a good point to post and continue with Part 2 "Inside the STAR WARS Exhibit" in another entry. ;)
More to come....
