It's got cachet up the yin-yang!

The Force has Awakened! Have you felt it? Becasue R2 certainly felt some love last Thursday evening. The local fan group Tulsa Star Force assembled a small portion of our Death Star set at the Broken Arrow Warren Theater. We had around 30 costumed characters milling about before the first showings of Episode VII. We were on the local NBC news and made the Tulsa World.

The movie was great! A definite return to form for Star Wars. Here's hoping R2 is a little more prominent in Episode VIII. Guess we have about 17 months to wait and see.

The new JAG 4WD's performed great on the carpet. I also upgraded my cheap Pyle speakers to some better quality JBLs. The sound level was a definite improvement. I never had a hard time hearing him, even at a distance and with the volume turned down a bit.

I'll try and write up a little more detail on all the upgrades in a separate post.

Williams Show-noma

Made a short appearance at a Star Wars themed cyber security meeting for Williams company today. Short and sweet, didn't grab any pics so stealing this one from Chris Gray of Tulsa Star Force.

The SoonerCon, the better

A few pics from the first annual SoonerCon. Met a few unruly kids, including a rude little Dr. Who. But the mini Kylo Ren stole the show.

Friday of Force for Fun

Here's some pics of R2 at one of the local Toys R Us from Force Fruday midnight opening. Unfortunately is was not the best experience. I'm not a huge TRU shopper, and their handling of our fan group makes me less likely to return to the establishment. I ended up picking up a few small things at Target later that night instead.
