Appearance Start: Tuesday 6/17/25 5:00 PM

Expected number of attendees: 250

Requested number of characters: 30

NOTE: If we do not get minimum of 2 troopers and 1 non-costume handler, we will decline this event.

Requested character types: It’d be awesome to have the big man (Vader), and if it’s practical, R2-D2(s) and/or any other droids, and beyond that, certainly OT-era would be preferred if folks have multiple outfits. Otherwise, I know we’re making the ask a week out for an event starting at 5pm on a Tuesday, so really any era is fine. We’d just like to make a splash and show the fans a good time (including the 501st).

Secure changing/staging area: Yes, I’ve also secure an empty theater before and after the appearance for dressing,

Handler/Photographer: Yes

Weapons/Masks: Yes (No restrictions)

LFL Guidelines for this event (these have been shared with  Alamo Drafthouse):

Event description: This is a ribbon-cutting event at our new Alamo Drafthouse Cinema location in Mountain View. We needed to make a pivot from a previous plan, so our friends at Disney made A NEW HOPE available for us* – hence the short notice. I selected 30 as a somewhat arbitrary number. This is short notice and we’d love to welcome any of the members who can attend, whether it’s 1 or 40. FWIW, I selected “All characters” but all things being equal, Original Trilogy characters would be preferred. I’m noting the event “start” at 5pm because there’ll be a small reception for VIP guests starting then and the public arriving early for the *free* public screening itself, which would begin around 6pm with 20-30 minutes of introductions and speeches. The event itself would include brief speeches from the mayor of Mountain View, the Chamber of Commerce, and our CEO. Depending on who from your team is able to participate, I’d love to collaborate on a few ideas based on prior events. For instance, this is an event I worked with the Austin 501st on ten years ago for TFA: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1179837445405142 We’ll absolutely be able to hold seats for the performers from our seat block, but depending on the response it might be tight – I’ll allot twenty for now, but if you have a sense of how many are likely, let me know ASAP. I’ve also secure an empty theater before and after the appearance for dressing, and might be able to use that space for a second screening for the performers. We’ve also got a lot of open and empty space at the site, so we can support droids and other fun stuff as well. Apologies for the short notice, but hope we can put something fun together. Feel free to gimme a call with thoughts and questions!
