	*'''Split the Venue''': Some large venue events, such as Sport's Stadiums and the "Star Wars In Concert Series" are held in venues that could allow multiple face characters in the same venue. For example when we did the Star Wars in Concert event at Gwinett Arena in Georgia the venue was large enough for the Garrison to provide two Vaders, one for the north concourse or the arena and one for the south. This not only enabled more than one face character but also provided an opportunity for more audience members to meet the Dark Lord. The same procedure could work well for any large stadium or arena event where there is not a direct line of sight between sections of the venue.		*'''Split the Venue''': Some large venue events, such as Sport's Stadiums and the "Star Wars In Concert Series" are held in venues that could allow multiple face characters in the same venue.

	When staffing an event it is important to remember that we're all here to troop. Typically when an event request is posted to your forums you'll members will sign up to fill the available slots for the event. There are certain protools observed by the Legion with regards to ''Face Characters''. A ''face character'' is a unique canon character that is identified as a specific individual, such as Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Darth Maul, etc. Typically, with the exception of conventions, there should only be one face character per event. It is important for the well being of your unit and it's membership to try to give every member with a face character ample opportunities to troop their costume.
