Get a Star Wars Costume for Christmas?
by tuskentrooper on Fri Jan 02, 2009 10:34 am
Star Wars costumes were certainly prevalent in 2008, and, without a doubt, many fans had armor on their holiday wish list. In an effort to fairly set expectations for new applicants, the 501st would like to emphasize that commercially available Star Wars costumes may not be acceptable for membership. It is recommended that prospective members conduct thorough research on our 501st Detachment forums before embarking on the journey to the Dark Side costuming. Remember that price does not always mean quality!

The 501stCast’s own TD-0013 interviews two of the founding members of this all-female support group for troops in that Galaxy Far Far Away (as well as in our own real world), and discovers there is more to these dedicated dames than just looking pretty.
