  1. Troop #39 was the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital visit for Star Wars day May 4th, 2023. It was fantastic to be back in person this year and will always be my favorite yearly troop. Only Darth and me as they are still limiting visitors.
  2. Troop #38 was 1 October 2022 at the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders Star Wars Night. One stone cold fact is that you can never have too many TK's. Great to be back out in the white shiny stuff.
  3. Troop #37 was 16 October 2021 at the AMVETS trunk or treat event in Cedar Falls, IA. This was my first in person troop since the start of Covid. A fun short troop to get back into it. I had almost forgotten how uncomfortable the TK armor is. In any case great to be back out trooping.
  4. Troop #36 was 17 August 2019 for the Sioux Falls Air Show in Sioux Falls South Dakota in conjunction with the Central Garrison Banquet. We had a great turnout from across the Central Garrison. It was a warm one but as usual the empire prevailed in making the crowd happy. And we won the Game of Squads Trophy for the second year in a row.
  5. Troop #33 was May 11th 2019 for the MDA walk at Hawkey Community College in Waterloo IA. It was a wet rainy day so thankfully we were able to troop before the walk inside. Handed out some high fives and watched a pretty impressive life size Jenga game.
  6. May the 4th, 2019 was a busy 4 troop day. Started on the road at 7AM and ended up getting home sometime after 11PM. Troop #29 was for the MS Walk in Cedar Rapids. We did the standard wander the crowd, imperial high fives and photos. Beautiful weather and a great start to Star Wars day trooping for a great cause. Troop #30 was for Star Wars day at the Blairstown Library in Blairstown Iowa. I think this town is no bigger than three blocks. I've found that these small town troops are some of the most fun as the people there are truly excited to have us. Lot's of high fives and photos, some shenanigans, and turning heads on Main Street. Plus it was an all white armor troop which is always a thing of beauty Troop #31 took place at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. This troop is always the highlight of my trooping activities for the year. This was my first year as Boba Fett and the first time we got to visit three patient floors to deliver toys for those that weren't able to make it down to the lobby. I'll never forget the little guy who saw us in the hallway outside his room, got super excited, and ran out to give us high fives. After he got his toy light saber he did another round of high fives shouting "You my man!" to each of us. It was amazing to be able to provide a few smiles to a lot of awesome kids. (Fett Pictures to be posted later) Troop #32 was in Iowa City, IA at the Iowa City High School Prom. This was an interesting one and fun one to end the long day. I think the adults were more excited by our presence than the kids. Had fun mingling in the crowd and hanging out at the photo booth. We also had some stiff competition from inflatable troopers. Their tougher than they look. They keep bouncing back when you take them down.
  7. Troop #27 was 12 April 2019 at Star Wars Celebration Chicago. Had a blast all around just attending the event, hanging out with my squad mates, and suiting up in my white armor. The Korriban Squad FISD Group Photo Troop #28 was 14 April 2019 at Star Wars Celebration Chicago. This was my last day at Celebration and it started early with the 501st Legion Picture. Great way to end a great week. FYI I'm the one in white :).
  8. Troop #25 was 26 January 2019 in Dubuque Iowa for the CabinFever MiniCon. This was my first official troop as Boba Fett as well as my first troop wearing two different kits (Boba and my TK). Part of the planned events included the opportunity to be read to by a Stormtrooper. I had the honor of reading Penelope the Dinosaur to a 4 year old. That was most definitely the highlight of the day. Putting on our best poses to represent the squad. Our Korriban Squad Special Edition Fett sharing a darkside joke with me.
  9. Still on track to do the mass update this February? I've followed the instructions and made sure all my data is in sync. Going on year three and I'd really like to vote in the detachment elections for the first time.
  10. Since troop #24 as Fett was unofficial my official Troop #24 was 12 January 2019 at Star Wars night for the University of Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball game in Iowa City, IA. We did the standard pictures and imperial high fives prior to the game. Right before the game a few us got to go down on the court and provide a little propaganda while the pep band played the imperial march. Overall had a great time at my first Hawkeyes basketball game with some awesome troopers. Thanks to the empire Iowa was able to take down Ohio State. And just for fun here's my Fett.
  11. Troop #23 was at the Emergency Food Pantry August 18th, 2018 in Fargo, ND. This was a great troop where we helped raise over $1000 and 650 lbs of food. Enough to feed 216 people with a weeks worth of food. This was also one of the larger troops I've been a part of where we had more than 30 troopers from across the Central Garrison (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa). Things got a bit heated there for a while between the TKs and the #NotVaders. We all know the TK's won. The troop was held in conjunction with the annual Central Garrison banquet. This was my first banquet but definitely not my last. I had a blast and can't wait for next year. Oh and most importantly the Korriban Squad took home the Game of Squads trophy by showing off our exemplary Imperial skills.
  12. Thanks! It's been fun to create and look back at all of the awesome things I've been able to do as a plastic space man.
