(I'd be that AT-AT driver, operating the boat)
Here's all of our pics: http://www.501neg.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=553
The backstory, is that while trooping at the Museum of Science during the "Where Science Meets Imagination" exhibit a duckboat driver told us she'd love to treat us to a ride (the boats leave from the MOS). Employees are given one free boat trip a year for friends/family, and she decided to take us dressed in a Princess Leia costume. It was a great time, and we spent a good deal of it looking for the zombie march near South Station (picture a bunch of stormtroopers asking passer-bys "excuse me, have you seen any zombies"). There was much singing of pirate songs, telling of historic Boston tales of bloody battles and pillaging (in true imperial style) and quacking the Imperial March at people (quack-quack-quack, quack-quack-quack, quack-quack-quack).
So much fun! It was nice to do a silly, low-key trooping event and just to hang out with people. If you are doing a duckboat ride and want to try and get this guide, her character name is Merriweather something or other.
