Slogans, no. Quotes, yes. Some of my favourites: And my personal all-time favourite:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"(also spoken once in EVERY one of the six movies. Can anyone name when it's spoken in each movie?) Spoken by Luke in ROTJ, when Luke and Darth Vader having final dual in Death Star(2) and Luke defeating Vader (by chopping off his hand) where Darth reveals to Luke that he is his father and then (eventually) falls down into the huge, bright energy/power core/tunnel/whatever (where he died)?

At last count there are 20+ of us in Malaysia(spread out all over the country). Some hardcore SW fans are also into other Sci-Fi genre, and some hardcore Sci-Fi fans from other genre are also into SW, so the line is pretty grey... You mean 20+ SW fans (I find that hard to believe, so few!) or SW costumers in Malaysia (more likely)? Well, I saw the Ship(!) and also finally the Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot which I didn't see in the previous group photo. Great!Now got one Stormie(and another on the way...next month?!), a TIE Pilot, Vader, Royal Guard(could do with more work on the staff/lance...search the web for more tips...hehe)...hope to see more troopers/helmeted characters, yea... Thanks! Got it! (am working towards "Fan" now...hehe!)

Oi, I said in ALL SIX MOVIES lah...
Yes, this line, and the line "I have a baaad feeling about this..." is present in ALL SIX Star Wars MOVIES. ;D

... Royal Guard (could do with more work on the staff/lance...search the web for more tips...hehe)... clonetrooper if you are referring to this photo of the Emperor's Royal Guard that was taken during the 14 May 2005 RHB Bank Road Show : then you are correct. The "Force Pike" that I've used was a broom stick handle that was wrapped in Silver Foil. HOWEVER in case you have FAILED to notice, I have it UPGRADED and changed it to a more MOVIE ACCURATE Force Pike as seen in this pic of 4 Royal Guards during the 16 May 2005 STAR WARS Charity Gala in Singapore, where I was the guest of honor of LordTyranno : I'm the Royal Guard on the extreme left with my UPGRADED Force Pike! You can cross refer my UPGRADED Force Pike to those web sources that you've mentioned and tell me here whether it is movie accurate or otherwise. LordTyranno built mine for according to the pics of movie props use in RETURN OF THE JEDI ;D

Actually, there is at least 2 things missing from the Forcepike to be ROTJ version; something near the top and the bottom. ;D Haahaa, the story of my Forcepike. 4 years of searching to finally find the Gromming "Brush" and a bit of cash to get my Padawan to get for my the bottom plus remembering which Deep Sea Fishing Pole I'm suppose to get. Time to dig out all the notes again and finally redo my IRG.

clonetrooper if you are referring to this photo of the Emperor's Royal Guard that was taken during the 14 May 2005 RHB Bank Road Show : Yes, I'm referring to this force pike in the picture Ah, good idea! ;D yes, you're correct I haven't seen this pic taken in Singapore. I've only mainly seen the ones taken in KL Well, at first glance it looks "realistic" enough especially when looking similar/consistent with the force pikes of the other two pictured royal guards. I don't think I'll purposely want to check against the web sources for authenticity (unless by chance) as I noticed the difference by chance only and did not purposely check every detail on every full outfit. Thanks for the clarifications! (Maybe next time if I need any advise on how to make props I'll check back with LordTyranno!)

Those Force Pikes carried by the Royal Guards in Singapore are very well made, but they are still missing one very important component, and that's this Amitage Shanks handwheel at the handle end of it:
This is one of my original AS handwheel.
This is a screen accurate fan made Force Pike with a replica AS Handwheel.
This AS handwheel is also the same one used to make the pommel for Obi-Wan's EP4, and now the Obi Wan EP3 lightsaber:
Obi Wan EP4(ANH) Saber, weathered
Obi Wan EP3(ROTS) Saber, clean
This fact is courtesy of 'Parts Of Star Wars' (www.partsofsw.com), and the reference can be found HERE
But these AS handwheels are almost impossiblt to find nowadays because Armitage Shanks has stopped producing them since 1994. If you find some old stock in a a hardware shop, grab them!
A replica can be purchased for about US$30, not including shipping....

Much appreciated. ;D Now I really got to hunt for that friggin' Armitage Shanks Handwheel to be fixed to the bottom of my Force Pike. Understand from Haldir that there is another component that need to be added to the top part of the Force Pike, a washer piece perhaps?

No idea what are the components though...
