Geekery: Life Sized TIE/FO!
Look at what Disney and the folks from Project X-1 brought to SXSW Interactive!
As most of you know, Disney is releasing Episode VII on BluRay next month. For those that don’t…
To celebrate the release Disney landed a TIE/FO in the middle of SXSW Interactive with some of the nicest Stormtroopers you’ll ever meet to guard it…
This full scale fighter was conceptualized and built by Project X-1 – a dedicated group of Empire fanatics that also has a classic TIE and a TIE Advanced X1 in their hangar. It was amazing to be around a ship of this scale – just a green screen away from being in the movies!
Project X-1 is part of the 501st Legion, a worldwide organization of Imperial costumers. They regularly lend their talents and time to charitable organizations such as The March of Dimes and Toys for Tots.

I couldn’t resist getting in on the action…
I think we’re going to need a bigger battle mat!
