Ernie Cline asked if we could add that if you happen to be coming in costume, try to please arrive by 8:30 as the 501st and Rebel Legion with be there for photo opps along with some local TV crews. Make sure to say "hi" to Jason and Jimmy from the Force-Cast as they'll be in attendence as well!
UPDATE: Our friend Cole of the R2 Builders Club sent over the following:
"The R2 Builders Club will be converging at the Fanboys premiere this Friday in Columbus Ohio. We will have multiple droids throughout the theater before the 9:50 showing. They will be available for photo opps and more alongside the 501st and Rebel Legion. We encourage any fanboys within driving distance to come see the droids, and especially the film!
Thanks Cole. Yet another reason to make the trek (as in a trip not Star Trek!) to Columbus!
UPDATE #2: Things are shaping up for a fun event. The Mandalorian Mercs will be onhand and in costume as well in Columbus! Click here for more info on their organization!
