Hi! I’ve been in the 501st Legion almost 2 years now. I’m in Saint Helens, OR with Cloud City Garrison. It was a bucket list must to join.
My first costume was a gunner. In my earliest newbie troops, I thought, why aren’t there any stormtroopers ever?! I must fix this. So…despite being 5’4”, I invested in a kit. Many many modifications, a lot of swearing, and a little blood, I am very proud of my costume, and my friend who mentored me and helped me build it. It looks fantastic and proportionate.
Day 1 ANH TK in the real world trooping was at a comic con in Portland, OR in our Star Wars experience. It was a hit. I had fun being a Luke sized TK. If I only had a nickel…!
