Hi all,

As many of you know, 5 members of NG were lucky enough to be invited by George Lucas to join the Star Wars spectacular entry to the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Years Day 2006. What you may not know is that a documentary was made of the entire trip and it's now available online. For those of you who know us, you may recognise myself, Dennis, Tobias, Janne and Kai in several shots

It was a truly awesome week and this video brings back a lot of very happy memories.

Enjoy.

Incredible, just incredible. Wish I could have been there with you.

It would be sooo awesome to have a boot camp for us NG troopers like that. To be able to march like that on events would be a real eye opener.

Agree, we could really use some marching training! It would be so cool in parades, patrols, concerts etc. And we would be ready if George ever asks again.

Well, we sorta had. Before the march, we were requested to submit a marching video. So about a dozen troopers spent about five hours marching in a park in Helsingborg. http://gallery.nordicgarrison.net/thumbnails.php?album=24

I wouldn't mind doing it again, as it *does* look a lot better when we are in step (despite it being hard to do because of the crowd not moving aside on the convention floors).

Wow! This is so awsome! I'm not sure, but it feels like that is a "one in a life time" thing :D

That is like every troopers dream (tksmiley)

It was. I doubt this'll ever happen again

Then again, sicne I was in this one, I doubt I'd be chosen next time around.

Go 501! Damn.. I'm missing words, just so cool. It was nice seeing NG members and that TK 2501 was one of the troopers in the front of the big TK squad :-D

Well, that was just a blast of fun watching, sure hope that Lucasfilm does contact 501st for something like that in the future

I've always wondered why stormtroopers never could hit a target and this makes it pretty clear, you get one or two days of training and it's only to look good and not to be effective.

A nice video and it must have been fun marching in that parade.

Well they dont call us Stormtroopers for nothing, we storm places. We are strong in numbers

I agree, it must have been out of this world. Marching for Mr Lucas thats something not many can say that they have done :-D

Awesome!

We need some practice before may 17th next year I guess...
A couple of extra troopers would help as well.
AND a band.
