Arriving late-morning, ahead of the main taskforce, trooper Buzzard made contact with the local authorities to alert them to our presence and then proceeded to scout out the area disguised as a citizen. The show was at this time being overrun by younglings who had been given time out of their schooling in order to attend the show and receive the standard imperial indoctrination. Many of these younglings will now be growing up to become Stormtroopers. Buzzard was soon joined by Imperial Officer Lei, who ordered him into uniform and to begin questioning citizens loyalty.
Initial interrogations were very positive, with only a few disintegrations necessary before loyalty was unanimous.
Mid-afternoon came and Rubber and Duck arrived, followed shortly after by Bullant, thus completing our compliment. We quickly ramped up the awesomeometer and none were able to stand against us!
The day came to a successful end with the mark of the empire stamped permanently into the local citizenry.

Where's Wally? There's a trooper in there somewhere.

Hands off the imperial hardware, please.

Fairy Floss, now with the Tusken seal of approval.

Guilty of looking suspicious.

You should probably put on gloves before touching a Jawas foot...

Sorry fellas, these aren't the droids you're looking for...

The day started with Troopers TheWolf, Kitiara and Chopper arriving bright and early and ready to storm the showgrounds, followed shortly after by Buzzard, with Lei and the Jawa Mackenzie coming later in the morning. The day was even busier that the previous one with innumerable people visiting the show. Many, many, many photos were taken, several younglings were frightened (probably indoctrinated with rebel propaganda) and many more had their dream of meeting real Star Wars characters fulfilled.
As the afternoon progressed, the time came for the "Grand Parade" and we were given the honour of riding in the first two vehicles of the Beaut Ute section. We looped the field a couple of times, enjoying the cheers and applause of loyal citizens.
The rest of the afternoon was spent in close contact with the locals, posing for photos and handing out temporary tattoos. At 4:30 we decided to call it a day and smoothly evacuated the area.
This was an awesome event and the organisers were pleased with our participation. They are looking forward to us returning again next year in even greater numbers.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...

Science! Because figuring things out is better than making stuff up.
