Please report all signings of errant Droids and Rebels to your nearest Imperial. It is your DUTY

Imperial Forces including Lord Vader were asked to support MND Rob Burrows Charity Football Match in order to raise funds for Rob Burrow (Rugby League legend) who was diagnosed with MND. Several Rebels were questioned, but we still don't understand the offside rule.

Sometimes it is our sad duty to attend the funeral of a Star Wars fan.

We consider these requests to be an honour and a privilege to attend the ceremony and celebration of a life once lived and never forgotten.

Troopers were required to deploy to the 'Little Big Meeting' Community Event funded by the Durham Miners Association, to keep the spirit alive! in Shildon.

The Lord Vader and troopers from the 501st UK Garrison had to be dispatched to Fifield Fun Day near Maidenhead at the weekend, in order to help to raise funds for Berkshire Lowland Search & Rescue and Windsor Horse Rangers.

We post plenty of our troopers in action at the various events we attend, but you seldom see the others behind our troopers - our crew. Every event we attend we have experienced and professional crew all costumers themselves, who are there to ensure the safety of our costumers and the general public. This is a Thanks to you all.

We are saddened at the news of Jonathan Rinzler's passing. A long time employee of Lucasfilm, Jonathan worked as the executive director of publishing.

His books brought to life the behind the scenes stories of Star Wars and other popular movies.

His work supported so many of our members in their costume research. His passing is felt throughout the fan community.

More troopers had to be dispatched to Truro Comic Con & Gaming Festival at the weekend, and were joined by members of Reel Icons and UK R2 Builders to give location that alien/ghostbusters theme....

Last Weekend UK Garrison troopers were asked to attend Henrys Happiness Family Fun Day in Milton Keynes to bring some much loved Imperial presence to the proceedings. We love supporting the Henry Allen charity and the Family Fun day kicks off their year. We have missed attending with the COVID restrictions and it was a privilege to be able to return once again.
