Hello Fellow Officers!!
 
Some of you may know, but many likely do not, but I just got married this summer. And, as both of us were huge Star Wars fans, we had... lets say, a themed wedding. It was really great. I dressed up as my Grand Admiral, my best man and all my groomsmen were Officers. Even the bridesmaids wore rank bars, and Krennic (who is also our friend) did the ceremony. We also invited my Garrison to come out and walk down the aisle with us. It was spectacular, and I thought some of you would like to see the pictures. All photo credits go to JRush Photography.
 







 


 
We even had a Star Wars cake!! And it was delicious!!

Troops in Ohio are a'plenty. But work is killing it right now.  I'm working on average 70+ hours a week. but the money is good. all in all, the troops I have had were good. I got to use my new navy trooper (shield gate officer) and had a good time too. I'll throw out some pics to show this summer's activities.
 
The Columbus crew soccer team had us for star wars night.

 
Then, we were hijacked by a hermit. :p

 
had the Dayton vectren air show parade in vandalia ohio. My home town.

 
 
Paraded with some subs out guns out mandos and rey.

 
And last is the Dayton children's hospital. This was my fourth visit to there. It's heartbreaking to go through the critical care ward. I envy those in helmets on these troops.

 
All in all. Not a bad summer yet.

Who says you can't make the best of it when you get stationed on Kashyyyk...
 

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.

Well I did my first troop today and had a blast. It felt so good doing a little good in the world. My phone was dead when i went but I had one take some pictures and once he sends them ill probably post them here. Everyone was super nice and fun to be around making new friends is great I can't wait for my next one !

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!!!

Hi all,
 
My wife and my two daughters are 501st members! And my wife became the 100th member of our garrison!

This past Saturday, a few of us in the Southern California Garrison (OC Squad) were lucky enough to snag some studio time with the insanely talented photographer, Mark Edwards. Follow the bouncing link to see some of his awesome work...

Wanted to share some pics of the ladies of the Star Garrison and Kessel Base from Comicpalooza last weekend  
 
Someone had an idea to do a group photo of "pinup style" costumes- started out as officers but as you can see also included some Imperial and Rebel variations, and even got Younglings involved.
 
 
Me with my rebel scum husband (NOT Rebel Legion approved- work in progress!)
 
 
With a couple of good friends who have actual officer costumes in work, so getting some use out of their accessories in the interim
 
 

Had the opportunity to attend the Solo: A Star Wars Story Hollywood World Premiere on May 10th. Here's a few pictures.
 




 
On a side note..... new ventures await as far as Officer stuff goes .
