Comments
In as a TIE Pilot
In as TB
In as Vader but can do TK.
In as a Military Officer. I can double as a handler if we need it. I can also be Team Lead, (get there early and check us in with the parade organizers. Usually, the rest of the team are pros at this one and don’t need much more leading than just the check-in.)
In as TK
Going to miss this awesome event for the first time. I need to pull out of this troop. Of all the days of FanExpo, one of my kids decided to go on a friday. Now I have to go with him and his friends. Enjoy and be safe my friends!
Signing up TK.
Scout (as usual)
I’m now working so unfortunately I’ll miss this troop.
Just officially signed up. Sorry, thought I already had.
I can be TK, ID for open face, or SL acolyte if we need someone with a saber.
In as Tank Driver
Signed up as ESB-TK.
In as an imperial officer- can also double as handler.
