Lucasfilms Bans Blasters for Stormtroopers

[navarre1095]

The 501st and Rebel Legion were told yesterday, "No guns until further notice."
Report: Lucasfilm Bans Blasters for Stormtrooper Cosplayer Clubs Attending Star Wars: The Force Awakens Screenings - IGN

 

[Sylvain]

Is it still allowed to use the force?

 

[TheWabbit]

And this is why I don't troop anymore. We give LFL (and now Disney) free publicity and they treat us like idiots.

 

[SmileDocHill]

Like they were going to hit anything anyway.

Meanwhile, you can believe I, and I'm sure all of you will be carrying if/when we attend. (I won't go opening weekend just due to the sheer number of folks, but probably wait a week or so and hit the earliest show they have during the week).

 

[Dead Duck]

As I read it, they are only banning "Fake" Blasters........


So.......

That's my plan as well, on both counts.

You have a Sterling SMG, MG-34, or broom handle Mauser available?

I'll definitely have my best and finest .45 for our movie trip.

Until Hollywood stops making the same movies over and over and using comic books for scripts and making Westerns about gay cowboys - I'll just stay home and read a good book.

This!

A white Tavor would look good with a stormtrooper costume...

 

[TheWabbit]

Looks like LFL has changed its mind after the warm reception of their new policy. That doesn't mean the theater has to let you in.

 

[navarre1095]

They still maintain the no blasters rule for the new movie.

How many movies have there been about gay cowboys?

 

[gunworks321]

Does Urban Cowboy count?

How many movies have there been about gay cowboys?

The only one I can think of was Broke Back Mountain, and NO I did not see it. I just remember the controversy and the jokes about it, when it was released.

Enough to be mocked by South Park well before "Brokeback Mountain" it seems...Mostly Black and White independent films according to my go to guy Eric Cartman....

1. This is retarded.
2. How does a movie studio justify telling customers at movie theaters what they can/can't do?
3. How could they possibly enforce it without the active assistance of every movie theater in America?
4. Did I mention that it's retarded?
5. In conclusion, it's retarded.
