A Foul Mouthed Droid Of Film

 Ottawa Comiccon is held in early September at the EY Centre, a convention centre near the airport. I go each year, for photo ops and for buying merchandise, and always enjoy myself. There are a lot of vendors, and a lot of cosplayers about.

These swords caught my eye, though I'd never buy something like that. I'm too concerned with getting myself hurt handling these.

Cinema's most foul-mouthed character in history was present- more than one, rolling about, chattering constantly, every obscenity bleeped out. R2-D2 has a way of drawing attention. This droid was rolling through this aisle- I didn't notice Darth Vader in the background until putting this post together. And the fellow at left in the Joker costume- take a look at what's written on his bag.

There's a lot to see and buy.

The Capital City Garrison, also called the 501st Legion, is a local group of Star Wars fans, and they always have a big set up here. Both cosplayers and stationary props can be found.

This cosplayer had a great Iron Man costume.

I asked these two for a shot or two, and they obliged. Didn't recognize the costumes, but a colleague said they were of the video game and anime persuasion. More of this tomorrow.
