Hi there!

I’m a Rebel from Alderaan Base, and I’ve been hoping to go to this event for years!

 

I’d like to go as Din Djarin but I understand if the local one had already signed up. Problem is I can’t find the costume list, could someone point me in the right direction? I have others as well just in case but would love some pics of Din next to airplanes and the like :) 

 

I’ve never trooped outside my garrison so I am totally new to this, apologies if I’m stepping on anyone’s toes!

Hey John!

We don't have a costume listing.  Just folks posting here or on the event itself if they're going as a face character.  I assume @Feliz will be a Vader.  @CTdadalorian20 is our only Din I think, so if they're not signing up for this one I think you're okay to be Din Djarin!

Oh, awesome! Thanks for explaining how it works on your guys’ side :) 

 

Consider me Din for this event then! I’m so excited! (provided @CTdadalorian20 decides not to)

Hi @Rocinante, always a pleasure meeting another Din.  I am not signed up currently.  I did the event last year and the photos of my beskar against the shiny polished aluminum of the B-29 are awesome.  I will opt out so you can check it out and get your photos.

 Have fun!

I appreciate you asking, especially as Din is my only costume so far.  ?

Regretted missing last year, but making sure I have no conflicts on the calendar this time so I can join the NEG crew coming down.

Thanks so much for letting me take some cool photos in my Beskar! I really appreciate it ?

Hi!  Coming down from NEG as well.  I prefer wrangling, so I put myself down as Helper on the calendar.  If I have to buy my own museum pass, I'm fine with that, always down to support a museum.

I see that they're partnering with the food bank, I assume we can bring donations for that as well?

Usually they let our whole crew in for free so you won't have to worry about buying a ticket.

Hi, gang!  Rebel pilot from Alderaan Base; I came a few years ago and had a blast.  :)

Is there a time when we're trying to have the most people?  I don't remember when the busy times were.  E.g., if I could be showing up more like noon, that'd be a bit more convenient for me, but if the crush of people is right at 9am, then I try to get there a lot earlier.

from what I recall the "Busy" time is between probably 10:30 and Noon but we have a good amount of bodies right now so make your best judgement on arrival time.  It shouldn't be an issue.

I will also bring my camera gear and we can take some nice professional photos!
