RUBY RINEKSO

Below are photos from the 4-day opening weekend event of the exhibit entitled "Where Star Wars Meets Imagination", held at The Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia. Star Wars characters were requested to appear for the opening gala at this highly anticipated event. Participating characters included members of the 501st and The Rebel legion.

At the museum's request, I wore my C-3PO costume but was more than happy to have my good friend, Tom Schaefer, along with me taking turns/shifts as the protocol droid. It was an incredible event as members from different Rebel Legion basses and 501st Garrisons got together to celebrate the opening of this fantastic exhibit.

The first batch of pics are either my personal favorites of my own pics or some stolen pics from other galleries because I was too lame to get them on my camera.

If any of these pics are yours,... I owe you a drink.

Otherwise,... Enjoy! :-)

Chewie takes a breather.	My girl, my ride.	Racing up the "ROCKY" steps. (I lost.)	Please stop touching my droid parts.	Never tell jedi that you're a star trek fan.
A classic shot.	Tom as Threepio joins us.	"Jeez, Threepio, what did you eat?"	What're you lookin' at, Shorty?	Thanks for covering up the only hole I can breathe out of.
I'm beside myself.	Up to no good in the Falcon.	The Church of Leia.	Tom and I, Droid talkin'.	"I thought I signed up for X-Wing duty."
The Frugal Saber Shopper.	My favorite slave.	"You've got some lint in your eye, Artoo."	Han gets the girls.	My view of the opening ceremonies.
"please lord, don't let me fall down the steps."	The mob.	Battle of Mustafar
Mara Jade, "The Emperor's Hand."	Ready for battle.	Dengar & Fett: The New Odd Couple.	Stuck in an elevator full of humans.	A droid's life is lonely.
You're my only friend.
