Amazing Race finale troopers... anyone here?

[kalkamel]

I just saw the Amazing Race finale and on one task, the teams had to do some fancy CGI mo-cap stuff at ILM in San Francisco. On their arrival, they were greeted by some TKs and clone troopers as well as a Vader iirc and was just wondering if any of those guys were from here! Let yourselves be known!

I believe when you do things like that you have to sign a NDA, so they can not likely discuss it....

Surely they can discuss if they were there. I mean, do you just tell your friends, family and work that you are taking off for two weeks but you cannot tell them where you're going??? Now the specifics if the event you cannot discuss.

It was members of the 501st Golden Gate Garrison.

I am sure some will chime in.

Yep, it was us -

They wouldn't tell us what it was for until we actually arrived that morning - we did a couple of rehersals, then it was showtime - lots of standing in position waiting for the contestants to arrive, which was dependant on when they finished the previous task. I was the trooper to the immediate right of Vader - Funny story, I forgot my belt, (did some last minute repairs, and of course, left it on my workbench, forgot about it in the morning, grabbed my tub and left) the LFL staff actually went inside LFL to where an original Stormtrooper suit is on display, and tried to "borrow" the belt, but it was attached in the front to the ab plate. So I kept my arms to my sides and held my blaster at waist level, hiding the missing belt.

After the shoot was over, some of us stayed to play the motion capture game the contestants tried, it was pretty hard.
