    Star Wars invades Wal-Mart *pictures*

    A lot of stores across the country were doing special promotions or midnight sales with the release of the Episode III action figures/merchandise.

    The vendor working with Wal-Mart asked the 501st if any of it's members could come out in costume.

    We were more than happy to oblige.

    At the Howell Wal-Mart, Doug, Andy, and I suited up. A few others costumed at two other MI locations.

    Here's the album of pictures taken with my camera.

    Highlights:
    left to right - Doug, Me, Andy


    Taking things seriously

    The Jedi shows off his Lego masterpiece


    Hand over the camera, Andy


    The real reason the Rebels won


    Enjoy!
