Yes, he talks - he has a lot of good lines including of course "This is the way." 😍 Haven't had a chance to post my videos yet but he talks constantly while walking through the crowd.

He seems to be talking in this video which was during his debut: I think in a lot of videos the crowd drowns him out.

Oh, no. Moon Knight was WAY more aggressive a cape flailer. :D Try this:

Cassian or Calrissian? Because I'll take both.

If they got Colt 45 to sponsor it at Oga's Cantina, that would be enough to get me to drive down to Anaheim again. 🤣

You could at least do the Canoes on the way over. You know, for the exercise and fresh air. ;)

I wouldn't mind seeing Cassian in GE.

That is so messed up. Sorry this happened to you :( . I've also been in situations where looking back I should've spoken up but I was in shock. Totally understand what that's like.

I've had lots of practice. When people I'm with use an ATM I protect their backs whether they want me to or not. Practice my ninja moves. I've had fun with Stormtroopers talking smack to me. I'm sorry they ruined a favorite character for you. I've had "off" experiences with CMs that spoiled that IP for me even though I know they're not real, and there wasn't even any physical damage as with you.

Thank you. 😍 That is very sweet and appreciated. I just don't go there generally. There isn't much for me there anyway as a character fan. But I simply had to see Mando and Grogu at least the one time and I'm glad I got to do so. I even saw Boba Fett passing by from afar, so yay. :) And while I am not so much on a practical level concerned for my safety there, emotionally I still now have an instant fear reaction when seeing Stormtroopers. It was doubly sad because I actually was really fond of them as comedic characters before this happened and had a collection of Stormtrooper merch. After this happened, I literally packed it all up and donated it to charity. I couldn't stand looking at it anymore - it just freaked me out. :(

That is really sad. I volunteer to literally watch your back in GE.

Yeah, I think the plaid just desperately wanted to avoid someone making a claim against the company and wanted me out of there ASAP as long as I visibly didn't need or request immediate medical help. (I could walk as thankfully I caught myself before I hit the ground but I think the guy knocked something out of alignment as this one spot in my back that he pushed hard on with his armor has been a source of pain ever since.) I was just shellshocked that I'd been assaulted by a cast member and didn't really know how to react beyond reporting that it had happened. And now... I just live with it. And avoid the place where it happened as much as possible. I think the Mando/Grogu visit may have been the first time I was at GE in years. I didn't even go for Boba/Fennec.
