After the purchase of LFL by Disney and the appointment of Kathleen Kennedy; everyone was excited about the prospects for the future. Beijing 2013 held its international Film Expo, LFL had a contractor in Beijing for VFX which then invited the 501st to be part of the booth. We were young, untested but highly enthusiastic. As we were there , a rumor started the spread and yes LFL actually showed up with none other that Kathleen Kennedy. Not only did we have the chance to have a meet and greet with her and her team, but we were also asked to accompany her as “guards” to a VIP reception at night.
I proposed the garrison command to make a poster to commemorate this event, I had all the trooper present sign a card to digitalize their signature. We printed that poster for each of us ( 30 ) + 1 which we sent to her directly. We were told later that the poster did find a place on her wall for a while.
