IF YOU TRANSLATE THE AUREBESH LANGUAGE THIS STORE IS TRANSLATED TO PONCHOS!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE JEDI SURVIVOR EASTER EGG EVER!!

Mine would include a scene where Count Dooku and General Grievous burst into Palpatine's apartments at the head of a column of magna guards/commando droids, cutting their way through dozens of Corusant shock troopers , senate guards/commandos and maybe a few Imperial guards (seeing as they are in revenge of the sith) who put up a decent fight but are inevitably overwhelmed until they reach his office and are confronted by Fox (and Taggart or someone similar). A brutal struggle ensues with Dooku and Grievous coming out on top. Grievous leans over Fox to deliver the killing blow but the later rams a thermal detonator into his chest killing himself and damaging the cyborg general (resulting in the coughing we see in Revenge of the Sith). The final word on his lips as he detonates the explosive being "Fives... " Dooku departs the office with the Chancellor and an injured Grievous in tow. The 3rd systems army (i.e the 212th and the 501st) emerge from hyperspace leading right into the events of The Revenge of the Sith.

When Star Wars costumers get together at Dragon Con, it’s always an experience. Add in Imperial Officers and cocktails at one of the skybars in the Hilton host hotel, you’ve got all the makings of a cosplayer’s dream.

The Cocktails Over Coruscant [year two, actually] evening libation event is put on by the Imperial Officer Cosplay group; while it is a ‘closed’ group on Facebook, it *is* open to anyone with a uniform to join, and is independent of the 501st and Rebel Legion Star Wars cosplay groups.

These photos come courtesy of our friend Benn Robbins of Robbins Studios Photography and Fine Art, along with more insight into the shindig:

We had over 50 Imperial Officers four twi’leks Darth Vader, Tarkin, Galen Erso, a grand Admiral along with the Officers, commodore and even the wait staff wore “Tarkin Initiative” patches on their uniforms. And there was a commemorative challenge coin given out to all who participated.

Cocktails Over Coruscant came together with the help of Nathan Pata, Garet Jones, Brandon Abell,  and Bob Herron [“Whos’ dream this was”].

Robbins was also kind enough to share an image of the patches and coin that were handed out to participants:

Here’s the gallery of photos Robbins shared with us for your perusal, enjoyment, and inspiration for future Dragon Con social interactions:

Dragon Con happens over Labor Day Weekend in Atlanta, Georgia and usually has some of the most impressive cosplay collections in the entire country. (Yes, we stand by that statement.)

Keep an eye out for additional Dragon Con cosplay galleries and news throughout the weekend, thanks again to the Imperial Officers Cosplay group for sharing their evening with us.
