I shot this at the Star Wars Exhibition in London in late 2007.

Star Wars Day 2012: Guarding the (Other) Empire, Russ Johnson
Russ Johnson caught these Star Troopers guarding The (British) Empire at the Star Wars Exhibit in London.
Tell me the story behind this — and also what camera you used, Russ! Good to have a travel expert on board anewdomain.net.
May the Fourth Be With You!

Thanks Gina – It is from across the Thames next to The Eye. I vaguely remember crawling up on something and twisting my body precariously to get the angle. The camera was a Panasonic point-and-shoot.
It was part of Star Wars’ 30th anniversary celebration and included a life-size Naboo N-1 Starfighter and exhibition zones representing Tatooine, Naboo, Endor, Hoth, Coruscant, Kamino, Geonosis, Kashyyyk, Utapau, and Mustafar, places not exactly on my bucket list.
Are they guarding it from “V”?
Nice pic!
