Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

OK, silly question. What time wood the fastpass for SOTS be?

If I remember correctly the fp said 2:45pm-3:10pm But people started lining up as early as 2pm. The good thing about the Theater of the Stars is that all of the seats are good so if you're not looking to be center stage you should be fine

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

they are on the thick side. The ones I ordered last year I got them in men cut, and they were thicker than what I would normally wear. This one I ordered in women cut so I'm not sure if it'll be the same or not. Getting it in about 7 days

Awesome -- thanks yulilin!

Hope your little one feels better
I bought this one for myself today, it combines my love of SW and my favorite ride at MK http://www.teefury.com/may-the-ghosts-be-with-you

Holy cow this is AWESOME!!! NEED IT!!!

ETA: Have you ordered from them before? What's the quality of the tshirt like??

I have this one. I would say the material is just right, but that is from a certain point of view.

So the sunrise student, I've been wondering. Did you join the 501st or the rebel legion? Or did you get to choose? Is there a difference in the Mara jade hand costume versus not the hand costume that signifies which side you join?

Thank you! Trying to time our FP's correctly because not everybody in my group wants to see the show.

I am a member of the 501st "The Emperor's Hand" So I am a Dark Side users....



However as the books to tell you the character does change.... but being a member of the 501st I am frozen in that time frame of being the Emperor's Hand.

Now I could join the Rebel Legion with this outfit, with some modifications yes.... But when Mara becomes a full Jedi and trains the twins she is also in a green costume, and that one is totally different from mine.

Both the 501st and the Rebel Legion have various costumes for Mara Jade...

For fun here are the links for the approvable looks for Mara:

1 - 501st (My costume) http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Mara_jade
2 - 501st http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Arica_blue_dress
3 - 501st http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Mara_jade_black_nebula
4 - RL (close to my costume) http://www.rebellegion.com/mara-jade-black-jumpsuit/
5 - RL (Mara Jade Skywalker) http://www.rebellegion.com/mara-jade-green-dress/

Ah, the complexities of Mara jade. I'm going to check out these links.

I always kind of wanted to join up. Mara is an option for me because I already have the red hair, but I feel my top two choices would be imperial guard ( do you guys have any kyle katarn types?) Or an xwing pilot.

Ah, the complexities of Mara jade. I'm going to check out three links.

I always kind of wanted to join up. Mara is an option for me because I already have the red hair, but I feel my top two choices would be imperial guard ( do you guys have any kyle katarn types?) Or an xwing pilot.

Here are the two main links to get you started:

501st http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRL

RL http://www.rebellegion.com/

and yes we have X-WING in the rebel legion as well as A-Wings too! and when I say we I mean I troop with starwarsindiana.com our 501st Bloodfin Garrison troops with Rebel Legion Mos Espa Base group. I am fortunate to live where I do, not all RL and 501st work together like our groups do. However I do believe that the Ohio Garrison tend to have people that belong to both organizations as well. Here is the link to the 501st Garrison in your area. http://www.ohio501st.com/

The Arica Blue outfit is when Mara is undercover as a dancer in Jaba's Place. There is a comic book series that deals with Mara Jade and it occurs during the time right before and during Return of the Jedi. Mara is at Jaba's palace the same time Luke, Han, Leia and the rest of the gang are there.... Mara is there to kill Luke, but because of how things went down she misses her opportunity to do so.

I've ordered from Tee Fury twice now, with no complaints. I will say that the ladies shirts run small. I would recommend buying a size up.

 

[williamscm3]

Just came across these shoes...what do you guys think?!? I've never seen anything like them before, but I cant decide if I like the way the darth vader helmet comes out the back...just curious if you guys think they look weird or not lol

[Meech Loves Mickey]

I am one of those crazy enough to pay 250 to buy more crap, and get those damn lightsaber Magic Bands!

I got an e-mail the other day stating that they still had those bags available for pre-order, so they might still have them when SWW begins... forgive me, not sure what weekend you are going, but if you are going during the first weekend I wouldn't give up hope, I think they might have some left.

I will defiantly be posting live on this thread as well as my trip report (link in signature) details of things... I will be sure to keep my eye out on the quantities of those bags while I am there

Those light sabre MB's are super cool!

Not going until the last SWW, I doubt there will be any left.

Looking forward to seeing your live reports!

I am getting fired up for SWW!!

 

[MakiraMarlena]

I have all four Star Wars/HM Stretching Portraits mashup tees sold by Tee Fury. They are excellent. the ladies shirts run REALLY small, I always buy men's style from them.

 

[HCinKC]

no problem here on my iPad.

It also opens for me on my iPad. Are you following the link? All ears is .net

Well, hmm. I am actually on the Mac right now, but I will check on the iPad. It hasn't been working for me for quit sometime (on the desktop), but I don't know that I have even tried on the iPad. Thanks!

On the latest WDWNT podcast, they said they heard the stage will be offset to the right, not directly in front of the Great Movie Ride.

 

[hultrain]

Anyone done the D-Tech me? How closely does it approximate your face? In other words, is it worth it? I've seen some pics online, but unfortunately they didn't have a pic of the person to compare with. I assume still no word on when booking will open?
