Hahahaha...... I was talking to my father about getting back into the 501st again (1999-2003 Active) and since I am sure he has nothing better to do, he dug this old treasure up out of the old family photos. Now if I can find a big enough set of PJ's to recreate the picture this Christmas LOL 
December 25th 1983
 

Today at a Troop my fellow troopers were talking about Troop tracking...
 
I got curious because i havent checked in long time what troop I was one well.. 
 
I've made it to 26 
 
over 25 troops  on my belt. 
 
I love this organization and what we do for our community. Today was our local Alzheimer walk. 
 
Heres to 30 and the 50!

Some photos that we took over one of the weekend and we wanted to have some fun shots! and I used the Disneyland rank bar that they had. I pretty happy that the size looks pretty good. 

As we wanted to do one photo on wearing a dress or a skirt with our officer outfit. So early on I did a inspired imperial Officer dress with a high slit after I saw the Solo movie on the officers socializing at the crimson dawn party. So just wanted to have a inspired dress for female imperial Officer. 












 

Rony Bridges who played the Admiral in The Force awakens has sadly passed away, Rony was a good friend to me and the 501st, smooth sailing Admiral.
 

I wore the costume for the first time at the Star Wars Celebration Chicago and I worked out and submitted a draft together with others shortly after the event and have been waiting patiently ever since. At the FedCon in Germany two other members of the German Garrison joined me with the costume:





I worked together with the concept artists and designers of the original outfit to get everything as close to the real deal as possible.
 
 

I just wanted to share a personal milestone I reached yesterday.  This is a pic from my 169th IOC troop, but it also happened to be my 250th 501st troop!
 
I started this journey back in 2011. I have met so many of great 501st members, as well as many from other Star Wars costuming groups.  I've seen so many smiling faces as we've shared our Love of Star Wars and desire for helping Charity.  I've always tried to remember that we are doing this for that reason and tried to be as diplomatic as possible with everyone I've worked with.  Sometimes, things get misinterpreted or misunderstood and opinions have differed, but I Love and respect everyone that has joined me on this journey that we all are following through this Galaxy, far, far away.
 

Officiated my first wedding, on May the 4th, in my freshly approved Imperial Staff Officer costume. 
Truly a great Star Wars Day!
 

 

Some of you may have seen this on Facebook.  But the Chicago Police Department did a video shoot with members of the 501st Midwest Garrison in promotion of Celebration.  This aired on most of the local news outlets this morning.  

Here is the link:
 
 
Unfortunately I left the Star Destroyer parked in a Loading Zone at O'Hare, at least the CPD got me before Vader
 
 

*cough* I am hoping for a Krennic design *cough cough*

Definitely recommend the lore master his videos are very entertaining to watch with all the photos and videos he finds when hes describing certain characters and he also posts at the end of every video where he gets his info from just in case the viewer wanted to read more into it 

We will by the end of the night!  Of course, I don't know what it's for or how to use it.  But that's what delegating work is for! hahaha

Hi!  I watch this channel daily.  He's always upbeat and looks at the positive side of Star Wars fandom.  I ran into him at the 501st Bash in Orlando last year.  Super cool guy.
Anyway, he did a quick video yesterday about Officer's Uniforms.  Go watch it!
 
 

Hello fellow officers,
 
Several months ago, I sent a challenge to a fellow from the Spanish Garrison. If he dyed his beard of pink, I will let him to command the escort of Ambassador Droid R2-KT in the Spanish Garrison's Training Day.
 
Our Training Day was celebrated last wekend in Sevilla and... oh well, a pic is better than a thousand words...
 

 
He's ID-22967 and we will love to see our proud officer with ambassador droid R2-KT on IOC Facebook page if you find it appropiate. We fight against cancer!

I was in my Bridge Crew when I met Kelly Marie Tran at the Unforgettable Prom in San Diego on 4/13.
 

 

So i did not expect this to happen... 
 
strange to be so excited for an animated show to return, even if it's only 12 episodes (announced)

Nice work, Other Todd! 

Hi everyone, in order to help me understand the numerous variants of the black uniforms & what costume components could be used in other configurations, I created the Shared Components Matrix.  That black flight suit is quite ubiquitous!  I hope you find this useful. 
 
It's not an official 501st document, just something I put together to help current & aspiring members.  The CRL is always the official reference which goes into more detail than I could include here. 
 
(It has been pointed out that "Navy Trooper - Dress Uniform" isn't included; it would have made the matrix 3 columns wider due to all its own variations, and I had to stop somewhere...!)  So it's not
 
Thanks to @tristanuk and my garrison GML for providing feedback before being finalized, much appreciated.

This last weekend I won a cosplay contest as Captain Beckett at a local con, and decided I wanted some better pictures in this character. So I met up with Izzy at our Tatooine Wall we made for South Valley Squad, and we got to work! The costume is not screen accurate yet, more fairly it is "Inspired by", but I really like this uniform and wanted to troop this character regardless!
 
"Do you wanna live, Sparky? Then shut up and do what your Captain tells you!"

 

 

 

 

 

Before you guys decide by which method you want to sort the CRLs, you need to know your audience.
Some people see a movie and think "Woah, I want an uniform like him!", those need a list sorted by movie, as they maybe don't know what kind of Officer that person is. All they know is, that he/she looks cool. Mostly those are the people who want to join the 501st or the IOC.
Some people want an uniform with a special image or want an uniform to extend their wardrobe. Those need a list sorted by department/rank. These are people that already are in the IOC and know most ranks etc. by heart.
 
I have the impression, that it's easier for beginners to sort it by movie. Not everyone knows if  the Uniform they want to wear is Navy or Security or something else.
As I'm fairly new myself, I don't have the knowledge about every CRL like you guys have, so I can provide a viewpoint from outside.

Got these on Tuesday, our squad decided to do a run of these with plenty of people taking part.
 
I’m quite happy how my card turned out! It has a signing square too!
 

 
I included the squad card with my image.
 
What do you think?

Forgot about this one. Got a pic with another "Officer" General Grievous aka Matt Wood.
