As part of the recent May 4th Star Wars day celebrations Lord Vader, Kylo Ren and an Officer from the 501st UK Garrison were deployed to the famous Forbidden Planet store in London.

Members from the IWS/UKG made swift work of making Pontypridd town centre safe from future rebel incursions and helped promote improving child literacy at the Pontypridd childrens book festival.
Hope you all had an amazing time today!

The UK Garrison were asked to patrol a recent event for the Didcot Girl Guides as we had reports of Rebels and Jawas in the area. No Jawas were found, but a considerable amount of cookies were confiscated.

Troopers from the UK Garrison were recently deployed to the Entertainer, Westfield. Only 2 troopers were needed on patrol, but they were constantly on the lookout for Rebel spies. Plenty of photos taken, a lot of happy citizens.

Troopers from the UK Garrison were invited to guard one of the biggest private collections of Star Wars Toys currently touring the UK.

18 years ago today, the Founder of the UK Garrison Graham Campbell sadly passed away.

Graham was a man of vision who saw how much the World of Starwars could create a legacy that was far bigger than any individual. As he would say "Lets go to Work"

The 501st UK Garrison were invited to attend The Dudley Group NHS Star Wars day at the Children's Ward Russells Hall Hospital Dudley.

No rebels were found but there were some very suspicious Jawas present.

The UK Garrison attended the Black Country Brick Show, West Bromwich. Some amazing skills were demonstrated, and recruitment for Deathstar v3 is underway.

Its #maythe4th , and we would like to take this opportunity to go back in time and introduce you to 3 gentlemen who back in 1977/8 help to start the Star Wars revolution.

We have not one but two exclusive interviews with Honorary 501st legion members, First an interview with the original TK421 (why are you not at your post??) Stephen Bayley the only stormtrooper to actually be 'named' in StarWars a New Hope,
