      I wish R2 was rotated more towards the camera.

      I'm love'n the scene you captured!

      great shot, but the R2 unit is not the correct proportional size as in the movies. Not your fault though, you make the shot look stunning.

      Great gestures from the Storm Troopers and that warm reflection is very inviting!

      Oh, it's R2D2, C3PO is the tall golden humanoid droid. Ok, I'm a geek.

      The 'Empire' returns, with advanced 'storm trooper' elements scouting the scene. Great work!

      The last time I was not in the 501st Legion yet;
      Those two are probably part of the Neon City Garrison.

    39. FC Op83 (23 months ago | reply)

      Nope... these are pan-handlers - FROWNED upon by the NCG.
      They pose for 'donations' which is completely against the non-profit status of the 501st.
      The wannabe Sandie on the left is just a standard trooper with a pauldron with orange paint smeared on and our R2 unit is much MUCH better looking.

      Thanks for clearly that. That explains the non screen accurate shoes.
