| Star Wars NYC Charity Premire- May 12, 2002 |
 |
| The Empire City Garrison was invited to partipate in the NYC Charity Premire of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The event was for the benefit of the Children Aid Society of NYC. Tickets were between $500-$1000 a piece to this star studded event. However, thanks to Keith Arbeeny (TK-444) we got in for FREE!!!!! Sure we had to work but I hardly call this work...I could have done this tour of duty for days!!! Special thanks to the Children's Aid Society, Keith, Zippy and all the ECG for making this possible!!!!!!!! |

| Despite the early roll call at 8am we all showed up remarkably on time! Thanks again to Keith for setting up the valet parking and in no time we were suiting up! This event was also special because none other than Curt Solo suited up in armor for the first time! Hey Curt how are those armor bites? LOL :) Also a rarity is Carl Skywalker in Stormtrooper armor. Luke and Han in Stormtrooper gear reunited again. |

| ECG trooper Hector and Darth Zippy get ready for the event. Hector: "You ain't so tough without your armor are you?" Zippy: **thinking** Laugh it up TK-474...hope you enjoy your transfer to Endor for Ewok duty! |
| Troopers try to remember what part goes on next... "Was it armor and then body suit or body suit and THEN armor?" |
