*Please Note: Remember that they can make requests but not demands about what you do/where you go/stuff like that. All the regular rules about these types of events apply. You can't flip the coin, but can accompany someone else who does. You can't do interviews/press activities while wearing helmets, and if you do participate in some kind of media interview without a helmet on, you need to identify yourself as yourself and a member of the 501st or Rebel Legion/Cloud City Garrison or Rebel Legion/Kashyyyk Base and not as a "Stormtrooper," character from SW, or anything specifically SW that makes it look like we're officially representing the brand.

I’m in for Din Djarin.

Any Rey’s, Leia’s, Solo’s, or R2’s want to roam with Chewbacca for this?
-
I'm 90% in, just need to see if I can get out of work early that day.

I'm all the way in. Going in a couple hours early to leave Eugene about 2PM. Anyone interested in going too that can leave about 2?
-
I might be able to make this if we can show a bit late ? If a 5:30 pm arrival is OK , put me down as a TK .
If later arrivals are not permitted totally understand !

It's not my event of course but with the game not even starting until 7:00, being in costume around 4:30 - 5:00 seems a bit early. No one will even be in the arena until 6:00.
A later appearance time might help entice a few more members too...
Just a thought.

This would be my first trailblazer Star Wars night , where would one check in for this event? Looks like we would park in the garages, just wasnt sure where to gain access to the changing room.
Hoping a late arrival around 5:30 would be OK , understand if not .
Thanks in advance …

Is there any more information on this event? It’s less than 24 hours away and so far we don’t have an arrival point, parking info, etc. Also no confirmation on the time after it was asked if we would need to be in costume at 4:30-5:00 for a 7:00 game.
Lastly, can we bring a handler? I typically have my wife help me dress. If she can’t make it is there someone who can lend me a hand?
Thanks

The post has been updated with the details. They want us that early because we will be there when doors open and roam for as long as you want until game starts.
Jeff, I sent the host the question about late arrival and haven't heard yet. I'll try again tomorrow and can send you a message if it doesn't work out to arrive later.

Thanks for the update.
Couple of follow ups -
How do we get into the building?
Where is the best place to park (will the underground be open)?
Where do we all meet?
Also, it will take me about 45 minutes to suit up so I will plan to be there at 4:00.
I will need some help dressing... if my wife is not available to assist will someone be able to help out?
Looking forward to it - This should be fun!

I'm still waiting to hear back on where to go upon arrival. If we don't hear back in time go to the front entrance and say Willen Sin coordinated for Star Wars costumes to be at the event. I should have an update tomorrow once when I call the Willen.
Parking they just said in the garage. I will try to find out about underground parking.

The loading dock under the Moda Center is the entrance. Usually have us go left once we enter but actual changing areas have varied a bit over the years. I think Agena? Lot is free to park in if you identify as SW character but it’s a hike.

Here is the update for arrival and timing from the host:
Yes, a 5:30 arrival time is fine. We’re super flexible.
When the team arrives, please head towards N Drexler Dr towards the loading dock and Annex Lot (see attached map). You will see a walkway along the fence for Media to the left of the dock – it’s kind of hidden but you’ll see an entrance when the fence ends with a sign that says “Media Entrance.” Security personnel will be holding onto an envelope under “Star Wars OR” at the top of the ramp past security.
In the envelope will be your credentials and directions to your staging area. You can give our Game Night staff, Nay a text when you arrive – 253.302.1376. She will meet folks and walk them in.
We’ll have a room reserved for your group to change. It will be a shared space with 3 other members of another group.
Additional activities include our parade that we have with our entertainment group that walks the concourse, think it would be cool for you to participate in it. I’m sure our broadcast would also love for you to make an appearance as well if that’s of interest. In addition some on-court promotions but I can brief the group when they arrive.

Thanks for coordinating!
And apologies - I misspoke. There's no underground parking at the Moda center (I was thinking of the Convention Center). There is a parking garage that is attached though on the North side of the building. Their website says it opens about 2 hours before the event so hopefully they will let us in early at 4:00.

Is the parking lot you are referring to the surface lot to the West of the complex near the river?
Looks like it has access to the loading dock area...
