Rancho Cucamonga goes Star Wars-Gaga

From his blog Pinoy in America, my friend Third Paran brings us highlights of the Star Wars Day held in Rancho Cucamonga, CA last May 28, 2011. In his entry "The Force in R.C.", Third shared photos and gave this account:




"Stormtroopers invaded the city’s library courtyard this weekend, but there was no cause for alarm as Han Solo was there, along with Chewbacca, New Republic pilots and Obi Wan Kenobi. Alas, there was no sign of Luke Skywalker. But there was an army of young jedis in training, so the future looked safe.

As you may have guessed, it was Star Wars Day in Rancho Cucamonga." (Read the full article and view more photos here)



That's Third, with the glasses, and Stephen Stanton, the voice of Capt. Tarkin on "The Clone Wars," 


Artoo powered navigation. Now that's one heck of a ride! Third identifies the "pilot" as Jon Paulson (aka Major Tag Greenly) who is a member of "Rebel Legion," a provider of Star Wars costumes and props. Check out www.sunriderbase for more info.

Rancho Cucamonga could've been a nice planet or spaceport name in the SW galaxy, dontcha think?
