This is most likely mine. Thrawn leading the march of the stormtroopers through the convention. It was an official Edmonton Expo photo, which is why I didnt share it on the official IOC FB/Twitter page 
 

Here's a few of my Faves:

This is a tough one indeed, but I think these are my favourites:
 

My first troop as a member of the 501st Legion.

And our Snowflake-Squad  

And Krennic is with potter's wheel

Now I have that song unchained melody from the movie ghost stuck in my head.

very nice! i love the Imperial shuttle!!

This is bowl from era of the Galactic Empire in it's greatest time. You can see very simple ornament with imperial vessels and short inscription. This kind of pottery was very common on worlds where Empire was very welcome.
 
(ok, I'm archaeologist and I made it in work  )
 

Grand Admiral Thrawn now knows everything about you  To defeat an Enemy, you must know them. Not simply their Battle Tactics, but their History, Philosophy, Art.

Hello Fellow Officers,
 
I thought some of you would be interested in this for two reasons. The first, an excerpt of the new Thrawn book has been released. See link: https://www.starwars.com/news/thrawn-alliances-exclusive-excerpt 
 
But also, there is some really cool art for this book


 
Enjoy!!!

Last weekend I was on the biggest convention in Poland, but it was na unofficial event. I have some good and funny photos, that I want share with you.
1. "Are you talking to me?"
 

 
2. "Join the Empire. We have epic capes". (I like this one, because it's looks like a propaganda photo).

 
3. That photo is a proof that you can comfortable sit with the cape

 

Hi all,
 
After working with a recruit in my garrison and scanning the Krennic CRL, I feel that we need to make a couple of fixes to the CRL.

Specifically, we have two "alternate configurations" listed, but no "primary configuration" listed - leading to some confusion on what accessories are allowed in the main configuration.  I have seen Krenics with hats on with the cloak on, and the CRL doesn't say that this isn't a known config, so the members are wearing it like that, and GML's are approving it like that.

Also, the first Variant with the Poncho should either be split up into two configs, or be more specific - while I understand what the rank bar line means, someone who does not speak fluent english might take that to say they must have BOTH rank bars - a simple cleanup of the following would read better and be more precise:
 
Configuration 1 & 2: Opening Flashback Poncho / Non Flashback Poncho
Standard components with the exclusion of the cape. Rain poncho is required. Rankbar is EITHER a single bar of six red tiles in configuration 1, and OR the standard red-blue double bar rank in configuration 2. Hat is required.   
My recommendations for the config section is as follows - one, name it "Configurations" not Variants/Alternate Configurations
 
Configurations:
Configuration One - Primary Costume All standard components including cape Rank Bar is the 6 red over 6 blue double bar configuration Holster, gun, and eye color are allowed Hat and poncho are NOT allowed Configuration Two - Flashback Poncho All standard components except the cape Poncho is required Hat is required Rank bar is the 6 red single bar configuration Holster, gun, and eye color are allowed Configuration Three - Eadu Poncho All standard components except the cape Poncho is required Hat is required Rank Bar is the 6 red over 6 blue double bar configuration Holster, gun, and eye color are allowed Configuration Four - Young Jyn Flashback scene All standard components except the cape Tunic may not show fasteners, including those that would hold the cape in place if present.
Rank bar is the 6 red single bar configuration
Gloves are excluded
Eye Color is allowed
Hat, Poncho, Gun and Holster are NOT allowed

They are great photos. I especially like the last one. You look lost in thought contemplating your next move.

Although I like to see all pictures Star Wars related, the Facebook and Twitter feeds need to be kept to official 501st please. That said, if it's of interest to Legion or Detachment members, then by all means post up!

I wear hat only with raincoat - as is in the movie. Cape is rather "inside" uniform, more formal (though officers have hats on DS or ISD) and it's looks better without hat  But raincoat... it's a different style

Something I think we should do is induct into the legion as honorary members the costume designers who made the costumes and the actors who portrayed the different officers in the star wars movies.

We need to spearhead this here because we are the Imperial Officer Corp, but also because time is running out on many of the potential inductees.  Many of the actors that were in the original trilogy are of advanced age and may not long be with us.  We already missed our opportunity with John Mollo who designed many of the costumes we wear.

Glyn Dillion is a must, but so is David Crossman, his co-designer who came up with the single bar rank system for Rogue One and Solo.

We need to generate a list of those who are and those who are not currently honorary members.  Then as we learn where they will be guests we will set the wheels in motion to getting them what they need to be inducted.

I am personally willing to pay for the first three inductees fees to get them the plaque and badge.  I do this knowing that it is very likely I will not be able to attend the induction myself.  But I think it is necessary for us to thank the people who inspired us to wear these costumes.  I would also like to draw tighter the ties between us and creators of the new films.  We live in an age where we no longer have to guess what these costumes look like or how they are made.  

I propose a list that looks like this:

Name – Position – Movies – Member – 

Glyn Dillion – Costume Designer – TFA, RO, TLJ, SASM – No membership
Domhnall Gleeson – General Hux – TFA, TLJ – No membership 
Julian Glover – General Veers – ESB – Honorary Member
Richard LeParmentier – Admiral Motti – ANH – Honorary Member

What we would do is simply work the list.  As members learn of different actors going to cons we will see if we have enough time to get something together and make a presentation.  Historically we have never needed the approval of the local garrison, though they should be notified as a courtesy.  I have inducted members just by myself and friends and that precedent still stands.  Some of the people that will make it to the list will never attend a convention, Michael Kaplan, the costume designer for The Force Awakens is one.  In those cases we can we can contact their agent or the studios to make the presentation.  Not every induction should include publicity.  We should respect the wishes of the inductee and size it based on what is able to be done and what they are comfortable.

I would like to hit up at least 3 before the end of the year, potentially more if it can be done.
