Until recently, I did not know that the people at conventions dressed in Stormship trooper or Han Solo costumes are usually part of an official group. There are rules. You can’t be some schmuch off of the street with a light saber and a brown bathrobe. Or a sleeping bag.

Both the Rebel Legion and the 501st Legion make charity appearances and also raise money for various charities. Who knew the dark side had a sweet side? This is just a short post. I have to get back to my Mother’s Day Star Wars marathon, while I have the house to myself. Next year, my hair will be long enough for the Princess Leia buns. It will be glorious.
