My First Loe: The 501st Legion

The 501st Legion of Imperial Stormtroopers was created over ten years ago when its founder, Albin Johnson and friends thought it would be cool to appear at a Star Wars convention as the dreaded Imperial Stormtroopers of Star Wars Fame.

Since then the membership has grown to over 4,000 members worldwide, most of whom have multiple costumes that they have created that look like they walked off the screen and into your town.

With this fame and notoriety, and the blessing of "The Maker" George Lucas, the Legion lends its time and efforts to aid worthy causes and charites, some of which being, Make a Wish, The Cancer Foundation, Childrens Hospitals and the Ronald McDonald House.

 My Second Love:The Jolly Roger Squadron of Imperial Pilots.

The Jolly Roger Squadron of the 501st Legion is the detachment dedicated to the aid and instruction for those wishing to build the costumes of the Imperial T.I.E. (twin ion engine) starfighters.

In its Imperial Flight Academy you will find the information you seek to build a membership worthy costume. The JRS Forum is where the Deadlist Pilots in the Galaxy disuss and teach each other about the best ways to achieve their goals.

Last but not Least: House MarStoq

From what seems like another lifetime ago. The joy of "Being Klingon" still burns in my heart.

Long ago in another galaxy, even further away lived a race of warriors called "Klingons". Their battle cries of "TlhInganMaH" "We are Klingons!" stuck fear into the hearts of the peace loving members of the wimpish Federation of Planets.

Still today when I am not answering the call to Battle Stations by Emperor Palpatine, my  heart returns to face the foes of Emperor Kahless.

Return to Duty

Posted July 5, 2010

After months of surgeries (7 since October 2009) I finally returned to duty as the float pilot for the 2010 Bartlett, Illinois 3rd of July Parade. This was our Largest and 7th appearance at this event. The Midwest Garrison is so beloved by the denizens of Bartlett that they moved us up to the 3rd slot in the parade.

The Deathstar balloon returned to be the center piece of the float. It was good to return to see old friends and new ones who braved the heat of the Bartlett Deathmarch. See our photos athttp://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g89/Marstoq/Bartlett%20IL%20ID3%202010%20Parade/

The very next morning we made the trip to West Peoria, Illinois and with some of the same folks from the Bartlett Parade we made a great showing for the people of Peoria. Afterwards we dined at "Old Chicago" being joined by Belinda Berry and Kent Heath who could not make it to the parade. Here are the photos from that event taken by Ashley McClintock.
