I'm Rick from Brisbane, I have seen the 501st in action in the queen street mall and thought it was the coolest. I have not cozzie just yet and would love some advice on how to get started and joining local chapters. I have been a fan since the day and have clocked the original trilogy well past 500 for all three. I always loved a New Hope the best but still get a chill hearing leia scream it's a trap in Empire and I think secretly I like it more now especially the luke vader confrontation. Wasn't a huge fan of the prequels but think they redeemed themselves with Revenge of the Sith when they finally got some emotion into the film. I'm at a toss up where to go with the cossie, love the original stormtrooper, (was my favourite action figure) and always preferred the empire for costume, characters and ships. Had a full set of action figures including the original mattel set and speeder plus x-wing, veered into model making when I was older, particularly tie interceptors, still got a couple of original figures lying around including the wampa but their condition is terrible. I have the dvd and blu ray box sets and I've only got to throw Empire on and I'm twelve again. I'd love to go Vader as I'm 6'6, solid and have the voice, but I'm guessing there would already be a few as who else could you want to be? If anyone has suggestions on alternates or help and idea's for a vader cozzie they would be welcomed.
