Suspicious Mind Trick, or SMT, is the official FanForce chapter for the metropolitan Memphis, TN area. The chapter was established in September 2002 with one goal…to meet and interact with fans of all aspects of the Star Wars universe in our local community through an array of social and charitable events.
Costumes are not required to join the chapter or to participate in FanForce activities, but many of our members enjoy costuming for various events and are also members of the 501st and Rebel Legion.
Check back often for news and announcements. Please stop by our message board to say hi!
We received word from Jim that the signing has been moved to Saturday, November 28. Update those calendars, folks!

Dark Horse announced at Diamond’s Retailer Summit in Baltimore that the current Knights of the Old Republic series, written by SMT Honorary Member John Jackson Miller, will end with Issue #50.
John discusses the decision on his blog, stating that he was able to end the story the way he wanted.
Good luck with your new project, John!
