For the Empire

This past weekend, I was able to add to my yearly troop count and suit up in my armor at the St. Francis of Assisi Feast Day. It was a lot of fun and our hour appearance was packed the entire time!

So far, I’ve only donned my Shadow Trooper armor but now that I have two other approved costumes, I’m excited to switch it up. I love my Shadow Trooper armor. But it is more intense when suiting up as…

SoCal Star Wars Day & Tesla Road Trip

This past holiday weekend, my twin brother and I decided to take a trip down to Southern California and participate in a Star Wars Day event hosted by the 501st Legion’s Southern California Garrison and coordinated by an Inland Empire Squad member that we knew.

The Highs & Low

This past weekend was a big one. Not only was it my first Golden Gate Garrison Annual Meeting but it was Super Bowl 52 where my New England Patriots were playing for back-to-back Championships. On top of that, I got sick along with my son. So it was an eventful weekend (and Monday for that matter). Let’s start with the annual meeting. I had been teasing a new sticker design that I put together…

The Life of a Stormtrooper

This past weekend, I finally submitted my photos for approval into the worldwide Star Wars costuming group called the 501st Legion. And within a day, I received my approval email, was brought up to speed by the Commanding Officer of the Golden Gate Garrison, was announced to the community on Facebook as a newly minted trooper of the 501st Special Operations Detachment and representative of the…
