‘Nuff said.
OK, OK, maybe there’s more to say. Like it was a bunch of fun. But you knew that. I should say that my still camera gave up the ghost that morning, so I was unable to take regular pictures. And I am too lazy to go through the video and make still captures.
But this year we introduced the “gun cam”, a small camera placed above the barrel of our own DarthGoat’s marker. And Thom takes a header, complete with face-plant-feet-in-the-air. It’s classic.
On Sunday June 25, Black Sun Collectors Club met at the Kane County Toy Show to hunt the bargains.
The last of the prequels, Revenge of the Sith. It was not an easy thing to get the line together. Our theatre of choice for TPM and AotC, McClurg Court, was not closed. So we had to move to AMC River East. Where we were not allowed to camp out. Did this stop us? No, we just camped out in front of the old McClurg, and moved to AMC the night before the movie. It was a crazy time. Here are the pics:
Here’s Chicago Force, in the neeeeews!

As April 1st turned over to April 2nd, it was a time for Star Wars fans to be excited. At midnight, the new toys for Revenge of the Sith would be released. And the fans would go wild. It all started at a Mexican eatery and ended at a Wal-mart. But countless Wal-mart’s, Target’s and Toys R Us’ were visited on the way. There are only a few pictures from this event as we were to busy buying toys otherwise.
And here’s some photos from Phyllis from Wal-Mart in Orland Hills the next morning:
On Sunday, February 6 at 2 p.m., Chicago Force’s new Costume Club held it’s second meeting. Star Wars Celebration III is less than 3 months away, so people came out to work on their costumes. It was held at the Pilsen home of Emma.
Another December comes, which means only one thing: it’s time for Chicago Force to celebrate!
Erica and Jason hosted this time around. We had food and drink and fun all around!
