Details:
Zing Pop Culture, Browns Plains, as part of their starlight week fundraising efforts, held an auction of their two TFA promotional FO:TK cardboard standees (they generated $150 alone!).

MyKill, Blueski and Squid provided reinforcements to the various cosplayers also in attendance, we soon staked out our territory outside the store collecting donations for awesome photos, MyKill's mum stopped by to see what the fuss was about, and had a conversation with a boy who was at the 'a day to remember' troop and recognised MyKill (small world!?).

A certain Gunner may have wandered past in civvies on a shopping trip

After many photos were taken, we undertook a patrol of the shopping centre along with an unafilliated obi wan, and a group of neon plushies, led by a zing team member dressed as Jack Frost from guardians (we avoided the food court). A second patrol sans cosplayers was undertaken shortly thereafter.

Squids ride arrived, and Blueski exfiltrated around 19:30, and MyKill policed the area until 20:00 when the event officially ended.

The kids were pretty well behaved, with only a couple that needed close attention regarding trooper personal space.

The boss was sadly missed




I feel self-conscious just looking at this:
