yup - that's "SHOWSTOP" on the chin. i got that nickmane from Regehr!! and there is also a bobafett logo on the chin. i love starwars and bobafett is by far my favorite character, but this is on my mask more for a friend of mine who passed away last august. he was a bobafett nut and every time i see the logo it reminds me of him - miss you kevin!
