501st Legion
To Celebrate
Star Wars fans come from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, but no matter
how diverse they may seem, common bonds become evident when people come
together to celebrate their passion for George Lucas's modern mythology.
Some fans are content to collect action figures...other fans want to be
action figures. Nothing professes your fandom quite like building your
own detailed costume replica of a classic Star Wars villain, and there's
nothing quite like the feeling that comes from bringing the characters
of Star Wars into the real world and sharing the magic with others.
To Promote
A truly engaging Star Wars experience only occurs through a convincing
appearance. To this end, the 501st constantly strives to improve the
quality and accuracy of its member's costumes. Our goal is to appear as
if our characters have just stepped off the big screen and into this
world.
To Contribute
While our organization was founded to simply provide a collective
identity for costuming fans with similar interests, the 501st is proud
to put its resources to good use through fundraising, charity work, and
volunteerism.

Nordic
Garrison
The 501st Legion: Nordic Garrison covers Denmark, Finland, Norway
and Sweden with a total of almost 60 members, all part of a great,
friendly organisation.
Our costumes are of high quality and as screen accurate as possible. We
attend movie conventions, Star Wars movie premieres, DVD releases,
birthday parties and we have even been seen on television!
We also contribute to charity events by making fun appearances at
children hospitals etc.
Our members do not earn any money from appearances but we request a
donation to our charity work.
The bad guys doing good in Scandinavia
At our events we aim to raise money for worthy causes in the countries
we represent.
At present we support:
- Barncancerfonden (Sweden)
- Børnecancerfonden (Denmark)

Our charity work is not possible without the continued support of the
public. All the members of the Nordic Garrison would like to thank you
for your generosity.
