Aren't they officers or NCO's?

OK, Vort., one of my co-workers just asked me, "Is that a Photoshop exercise or a real picture?"
I had to tell him that I honestly didn't know because I've seen a few conventions in my time where some amazing feats of architecture and costuming were accomplished. So which is it, real or imaginary?

This picture (not from me!!!) was taken at the Celebration II in indianapolis in 2002 of the 501st Legion...

Very cool picture.
Not enough TIE Fighter pilots though  I'm surprised on how popular the Imperial Bodyguards are (the guys in the red armor and red cloaks), such an obscure and little-seen character(s) in the movies...although I guess Boba Fett is the best example of a Cult-Following. :  hrug::

It seems as if marksmanship isn't real high on the curriculum. What was that old line about the Imperial Stormtrooper Marsksmanship Academy...
Ahhh, something about NEVER being able to hit with the first shot (or burst of automatic blaster fire) even if it is aimed...:-) lol: Gaius Octavius Drusus

Praetorians...Good point!
As for accuracy..Ever worn any of those Stormtrooper helmets? Must be tough to see outta the things.

:lol: I have a hard time making out what he says, not because of the dialect but because of the deformated voice-over..
