Anybody here a member of the 501st or thinking of becoming a member?

I've wanted to become a member for some time now and as soon as my Boba Fett armour gets here I should be able to become a full member, (with luck).

For those unfamiliar with the 501st, it is a costuming community that mainly focuses on the Emperial and other bad guys from Star Wars, such as Stormtroopers, Bounty Hunters, Tusken Raiders and Sith to name a few.

The 501st often "Troop" in their costumes at various events like store promotions, DVD releases, children's hospitals, sci-fi and comic cons. They are a non profit organization so money raised from these events goes to various charity organisations.

501st charity

If you are a member let us know and tell us what it's like to "Troop with the 501st." Or if your interested in joining check there website:

I'm on the 501tag (Aussie) forums as Jaster.

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Where is the 501st legion held? How do you join?
If you go to the 501st.com link above it has all the info there. Also look up your local Garrison/Squad to contact members in your area that can also help you with any questions you may have.

Not a member, won't be a member, however another thing to mention is that Timothy Zahn paid homage to the 501st by including them in his novel Survivor's Quest.

Good book. Think there is an ebook on the 501st too, although I'm not certain.

They are "quite" expense. probably around 2500 for a good Vader suit...altho the Stormie is alot cheaper
